Tips for using foot peeling
- Treat your feet to a relaxing footbath before (or after the peeling). The skin will be beautifully soft, calluses can be removed more easily and the care substances can be better absorbed later. Optimal is 15 minutes at a maximum of 38 degrees. Bath additives with menthol or lemon myrtle also have an invigorating effect and reduce swollen feet and ankles. Afterwards dry off well – also between the toes!
- The foot peeling should be at body temperature – this is the best way to spread it on the skin. The feet also receive a foot reflexology massage at the same time.
- Finally, pamper your feet with a rich cream or foot mask. For care and protection, moisturizing products (e.g. with urea or jojoba oil) are best suited. For a particularly caring effect: Put on socks and go to bed.
