Foot skin has several characteristics:
First, rough. Feet are the place with the least oil but the densest sweat glands. The horniness of the foot is also the thickest part of the body. Women who like barefoot will inevitably have rough feet. The second is dryness, the sebaceous glands in the feet are underdeveloped, and there are no sebaceous glands in the arch of the feet, so the skin of the feet has been very dry. Third, fatigue, feet support the whole body, easy to feel tired.
Three steps of foot health care:
Step 1: Soak your feet in hot water for 10 minute to soften horniness and dead skin. You can also drop a few drops of lavender essence in water to help diminish inflammation and sterilize. If there is no essential oil, pour half a bag of milk to whiten and lubricate the skin.
Step 2: Apply scrub on your feet, and strengthen massage in the key parts where dead skin accumulates. Those places where dead skin and calluses are most likely to accumulate, such as the heel near the root of the thumb and the spherical part of the sole of the foot, can be polished with a millstone. Remember to dip some water from time to time during the grinding process, so that the grinding can be smoother. What you should pay attention to is that the calluses produced by wearing high heels cannot be cleaned at one time and need to be polished patiently.
Step 3: Rinse the polished dead skin. Your feet are as soft as babies, so you need extra care. Apply foot lotion to your feet and apply it carefully and evenly from your toes to your ankles.
How do women maintain their feet?
1. If the dead skin and calluses on your feet are too stubborn, you may need 2~3 times to completely clean up the old dead skin. After that, it needs to be maintained once a week to prevent the spread of dead skin!
2. When taking a bath, you can wash the whole foot with soap with weak irritation, and gently polish the part with foot pads with pumice, so that a small amount of foot pads can be worn off every day to prevent a large amount of accumulation. But don't remove a lot at a time, or the soles of your feet will lose their protective layer.
3. After washing your feet, dry them thoroughly, especially between your toes. Keeping your toes dry can prevent fungal infections and corns.
Before wearing shoes and socks, sprinkle some talcum powder on your feet, especially between your toes, to keep your feet dry all day to prevent infection.
5. Wash your feet with water before going to bed. After drying, apply hand, skin or foot oil, especially long foot pads. Often at the heel, with the growth of the floor mat layer by layer, it is easy to crack or deep crack. Therefore, moisturizing the heel often can prevent cracking.
6. For extremely tired feet, you can add a spoonful of borax and laxatives to hot water, or wash your feet with salt water, and the effect is good.
7. After drying your feet, lie flat and lift your feet above your head, such as on two pillows or stepping on a wall. This can reduce the pressure on the feet and promote blood circulation.
Points for attention in leg care
1. Besides soaking, grinding and rubbing, the most important thing is massage. In fact, people's feet still have information about various organs. After foot bath massage, various beneficial ingredients will penetrate into skin tissue and regulate the functions of various organs. At this time, if combined with moderate massage, it will help the penetration and absorption of beneficial ingredients.
2. The correspondence between the main acupoints of the foot and the organs:
1) Toes-nose, eyes and ears;
2) the part of the forefoot near the thumb nail and the heart;
3) Behind the forefoot-liver, accessory kidney and gallbladder;
4) the sunken position of plantar intestine;
5) Heel-genitalia (massage here helps to overcome insomnia).
3, massage gestures: generally from the toes all the way up, the same part can be alternately massaged with both hands, or massage in circles, try to stimulate acupuncture points with moderate strength to speed up blood circulation.
4. Daily care: If time is limited and it is impossible to do a complete cycle of foot care, you can also clean the dirt with a special brush first, then gently spray the aromatherapy spray and apply the foot moisturizing emulsion for simple care.
