“The perfect remedy for sweat-prone feet, this nourishing foot cream helps defend against unsightly nail discolouration while relieving discomfort caused by blistered skin for a thoroughly soothed and silky-smooth finish.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum
ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Salicylic acidWorks well
“This also works as a wonderful twice-a-week preventative measure, to keep feet enviably smooth, soft and beautiful especially when used in conjunction with Margaret Dabbs' Exfoliating Foot Scrub .”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
