3 tips when buying a foot cream
The ingredients in foot creams can differ significantly, and sometimes it's unclear what benefits they provide. Here are 3 helpful ingredients to keep your skin feeling great:
-
Foot cream with urea binds water, making it a sound choice if you have dry feet. Urea protects the skin from dehydration while keeping your feet smooth.
-
Foot ointment with salicylic acid prevents hard skin and dissolves calluses. The active ingredient, salicylic acid, has anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Foot cream with almond oil has nourishing properties and makes your feet super soft. Ideal if you have sensitive or dry skin, plus the oil is not sticky.
When choosing foot cream, you also need to consider whether you want a perfumed or fragrance-free version. Some scents, like menthol, can provide a cooling effect as well as a pleasant aroma.
Keep in mind that certain fragrances may irritate or dehydrate sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, it might be better to look for creams specifically designed for that skin type.
When the temperature falls and the cold sets in, the skin on your feet is likely to feel dry and dull. If your feet get super dry during this time of the year, you might need a super-rich foot cream with a fat content of over 40% to give them the deep hydration they crave. Keep an eye out for creams packed with high-fat ingredients like shea butter.
