  -What causes Dry Skin on our feet?

Feet have fewer to no oil glands than other parts of the body, thus specially vulnerable

It gets worse with age as cells reproduce more slowly the older you are, so it takes longer for dry, dead skin to be replaced.

Dry feet can range in severity from mild, temporary dry skin to severe dry skin that causes additional problems

CAUSES OF DRY FEET

Excessively hot showers or baths

Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis,

Soaps that are non-moisturizing

Medical conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disease, athlete’s foot

Low humidity levels (in home or office),

Aging (we naturally lose moisture in our skin as we age)

Long periods exposing our feet in the sun

KEY INGREDIENTS FOR INTENSIVE MOISTURIZING FOOT CREAM

Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

Cools the skin, reduces redness and calming irritation

Reduces minor levels of muscle aches and pains

Manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium, folate, potassium, copper, omega-3 fatty acids (Which helps a lot in maintaining skin conditions),

Some Antioxidant potential

Urea

Aside from moisturizing , it also improves:

The appearance and texture of the skin

Prevents skin yellowing

Reduces fine lines and making the skin smooth

Intensive Moisturising Foot Cream contains lesser Urea than Carnation Cracked Heel Cream as the heels as the skin of our feet absorbs moisture easier than our heels due to the difference in skin thickness and conditions, instead, Glyceryl Stearate is used.

Glyceryl Stearate

Acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance.

Also slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface.

Isopropyl Myristate

Reduces the greasy feel caused by the oil content of other ingredients

Ensuring quick penetration of a the cream’s ingredients

Vitamin E

Antioxidant that protects and repairs your skin

neutralize the oxidant effect of free radicals, which are molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles

Encourages the production of collagen, a connective tissue that helps skin be elastic, hence smoother

Support new skin cell growth and cellular regeneration.

By neutralizing the free radicals that causes the skin to look dark and unhealthy, the skin can regenerate new cells that are lighter and healthier.

Helps to remove dirt, grime, dead cells and debris that get accumulated on the top layer of the face

Helps to smooth minor sunburns

It is readily absorbed by the skin and heals the damage caused due to exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Glycerin

Attracts and balance water levels in skin to facilitate moisture

Also helps skin cells mature properly

Cells that don’t mature properly is one of the causes of hyper-proliferative, thick skin.

Why can’t I use the moisturizing cream for other areas of my body on my feet?

Actually, you can.

But the skin on your back and soles of your feet is thicker than anywhere else on your body, thus harder to absorb nutrients and moisture.

Moisturizing cream for other areas of the body will not work as well as moisturizing cream specially formulated for the feet.
