It is best to soak your feet in a warm bath for 20-25 minutes before you are ready to exfoliate. This step softens the skin so that your exfoliating puff can more easily scrape away dead and flaky skin. Dr. Mikhail Borakovskiy of the Integrative Foot and Ankle Centers of Washington notes that a nice foot soak will also open up the pores so that ingredients may more easily penetrate the skin.
We formulated Simply Better Skin Care’ TOTAL BODY MOISTURIZING LOTION with an abundance of skin-friendly ingredients to ensure supple, healthy, and well-protected skin all over the body, including the feet.
In 2022 we added the peptide Preventhelia, which was specially designed to both combat and prevent free radical-induced DNA and protein damage (LotionCrafter). Preventhelia works by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting them from producing carbonyl proteins, and offers photoprotection to epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Similarly,L-histidine has shown potential as a UV-protective amino acid, though more research needs to be done to confirm L-histidine’s capabilities (PLoS Pathogens). L-histidine and L-leucine have also demonstrated potential in treating certain infections by either increasing the activity or production of skin’s antimicrobial peptides (PLoS Pathogens, Pharmaceuticals). These ingredients will pack a powerful beautifying effect for the appearance of your feet!
Simply Better’s TOTAL BODY MOISTURIZING FORMULA was formulated with an assortment of innovative and tried-and-true ingredients to provide the best treatment for the body. L-Leucine, proline, and glycine have been linked to improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to a host of amino acids that promote wound healing, TOTAL BODY MOISTURIZING LOTION also contains glycerin, a humectant that not only locks in moisture, but facilities skin recovery and protects against external irritants.
Treating your feet is as simple as 1-2-3. For smooth feet, it is important to soak your feet in warm water for 20-25 minutes, so as to open up your pores and slightly soften dry patches. Exfoliation should come next, with both a physical and chemical exfoliant. Lastly, use a moisturizer with hydrators and skin repairing factors like amino acids!
