1, use the footbath correctly.
Step 1: soaking and cleaning
As the first step to take care of the jade foot, it is necessary to soak it. There are a lot of foot salt in the market, which is a good choice for soaking feet. Remember that the water must be slightly hot, so that the pores can be opened to the maximum extent, and hot water can stimulate the nerves to the maximum extent and relax the feet. Many people want to have a comfortable sleep at this time. No wonder it has been said since ancient times that you can sleep soundly by soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed. This is the best way to keep fit.
Of course, if the water is too hot, it will damage the skin and accelerate the dehydration of the feet. In addition, baby skin cream or moisturizing cream can be added to the water. If your feet are tired, you can also soak them in hot water with essential oils such as spearmint and rosemary for 20 to 40 minutes, which can refresh your mind, calm your skin, relieve fatigue, relieve leg and foot muscle aches, help your feet and whole body regain vitality, and treat sweaty feet and odor symptoms.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation: a must for beautiful feet
Under moderate conditions, it is best to use foot scrub, foot cocoon file and special grinding stone to exfoliate. Facial cleanser is safe and convenient, but the effect may not be ideal; The effect of using cocoon file and foot grindstone is obvious, and the hard skin parts should be rubbed in the same direction when using. When it comes to exfoliating tools, I am very particular about it. Bian Xiao summed up the following points:
1. One is a metal exfoliating tool with many holes on it. The price is only two or three yuan. If you exfoliate too hard, you will feel more and more. The heel is not tender, but rougher. It depends on the situation to exfoliate the feet. For example, if it is not very serious, you can rub your feet with dead sea salt to remove the slight keratin on the surface, which can dredge the pores of the skin, deeply clean your feet, and have anti-inflammatory effects.
2. There is a kind of volcanic rock that is good for removing the soles of feet, but not enough for removing the old skin of heels.
3. Foot scrub, don't expect it to remove calluses and old skin, the tender skin of instep and ankle can still be used, just keep it two or three times a week.
4. Special pedal. This pedal is frosted on both sides, one thick and the other thin. Roughly grind the old skin at the bottom of the heel and big toe, and start with heavy hands; Thin is used to remove the soles of the feet, and the hands should be light. Note that it is not obvious to rub your feet when you are wet. After soaking your feet, you can wrap them in a towel and wipe off the water droplets on the surface. Don't dry completely. Keep the stratum corneum rich in water and rub your feet. Never dry wipe, the effect is not good, the more you grind, the harder you work, and it is easy to hurt your skin. You should go to the heel and sole of your foot, and pay attention to the side of your foot near the heel, where it hurts.
massage
Massage: dredge acupoints
Soft and slippery feet: regularly use massage cream to increase skin moisture and fully massage the feet, sides and soles. This kind of good products include aromatic oil containing citrus, rosemary and cedar, massage emulsion containing aloe and mint, etc.
Physical quality: the focus of massage is the sole of the foot. After the foot massage is completed, massage between toes, instep, ankle and lower leg below knee in turn.
Nourish the feet: Apply nutritional cream such as special foot cream, moisturizing cream and baby softening cream. Massage the skin of the foot slightly, and repeatedly massage the heel that is easy to dry and crack, so that the blood flow is smoother, thus achieving the effect of nourishing.
Relax nerves: The instep covered with nerve endings is extremely sensitive. Massage this part can relax the nerves and refresh the spirit. Foot massager can gently relieve pain and restore tired feet. You can also add essential oil for massage, and then use a towel for hot compress, which can relax tired feet, promote blood circulation of feet, relieve leg muscle soreness and prevent diseases of muscle circulation system.
Step 4: Moisturize and maintain
Ordinary moisturizing: choose a moisturizing foot cream with good moisturizing effect and apply it evenly on your feet. Deep moisturizing emulsion containing deep moisturizing essence can effectively prevent water loss and restore soft and smooth feet. The amount of moisturizing foot cream should be appropriately increased at the heel.
Transform the skin on the foot surface: after the massage, stick to applying nutritional oil on the foot surface and massage again to ensure the penetration of nutrients. Teach you a cost-effective and easy-to-use method. Apply the mask to your feet after applying your face. Now the mask has given you enough essence, and there is still a lot left after applying your face, which is just right for your feet. After painting one foot, paint the other foot until every drop of essence is sucked dry. Severe chapped skin: It is best to use an emulsion containing fruit acid, arbutin and salicylic acid to increase the skin's absorption of skin care products.
Super moisturizing: After thoroughly cleaning your feet, make a "foot mask". You can choose massage cream or freshly squeezed fruit pulp with moisturizing and whitening effects to smear on your feet as needed, then wrap it with plastic wrap, dry towel or old socks, and take it off and wash it after 10 minutes.
The above is the correct use of grinding feet. When we use foot scrub, we don't need to use it too often, just two or three times a week. For local skin care, you must find the correct beauty and skin care method, so that your maintenance can have good results.
2. Common types of scrub
