Exfoliating socks for a pedicure: features, application rules and the best brands

Socks for a pedicure is an innovative Asian technology for foot skin care. This product is produced in China, Japan and Korea, however, quite recently, some well-known Israeli and European cosmetic brands have started producing such products. From this article, you will learn about how such socks work, and also understand whether they can completely replace salon grooming procedures.

The term "socks" in this case is rather arbitrary. Outwardly, such products are more like boot covers without a certain size; therefore, both men and women can use them.

Socks are made of transparent airtight material in two versions. In the first case, there is already a special pedicure treatment inside. In the second case, the kit includes bags of working fluid, which should be poured into the product immediately before use.

Depending on the perspective, socks for a pedicure are divided into several varieties:

• to remove horny skin;
• softening and nourishing feet;
• peeling.

Using such pedicure products is quite simple. It is only necessary to pull them on their feet and leave for a while. After that, the liquid should be washed off the skin. During the procedure, freedom of movement is not limited by anything - you can walk around the apartment and perform any actions, doing your usual activities.

Many women expect that as soon as they take off their socks, they will see the delicate and rejuvenated skin on their legs.

However, this figure is conditional, it largely depends on the degree of horniness of the skin and individual characteristics.

The main indications for the use of pedicure socks are:

• constant peeling of the skin on the feet;
• excessive sweating of the feet;
• natoptysh;
• compaction of the upper layers of the skin of a light yellow color;
• frequent heel cracking;
• old callus formations;
• susceptibility to fungal diseases of the legs;
• ingrown nails;
• warts on the sole.

The situation will be corrected within a week. The result of the use of pedicure socks is smooth, smooth skin on the feet and soft heels “like a baby’s”.

The use of socks for a pedicure is not recommended in the presence of any skin lesions, such as wounds, cuts, abrasions, burns, tears or scratches. The inflammatory pathological process on the limbs, diabetic feet and complex trophic ulcers are also considered contraindications for this procedure.

Care should be taken when feet are allergic to any component of the working fluid. In the event of individual intolerance, you should immediately terminate the procedure.

The same applies to too dry skin - first conduct a course of moisturizing procedures, and when the peeling will stop, feel free to wear socks.

The instructions for use indicate that socks are not recommended for use by persons under the age of 18, as well as pregnant and lactating young mothers. In practice, this means only that products of this category of users were not tested during clinical trials. According to user reviews, the use of pedicure socks does not worsen the condition of the mother and child during pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless of course the woman had the idea to soften the hardened mammary glands in such a way (such use is totally unacceptable).

Socks have an exceptionally exfoliating outdoor action. The components of the product do not penetrate into the blood, therefore they do not affect the internal metabolic and chemical processes in the body. However, during this period, you should especially carefully select the product and refrain from buying cosmetic preparations of dubious quality.

The peeling effect of socks is due to the presence in the kit of a special working fluid, which actively affects the skin of the feet during the procedure. It includes a set of acids (fruit, salicylic and glycolic), which has a peeling effect, softening all coarse layers of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid makes the skin more elastic and contributes to its rapid regeneration. Squalane softens and moisturizes, has a wound-healing effect. In addition, it is this component that is responsible for the full diffusion, as a result of which the active components of the active substance penetrate the skin and are evenly distributed in it. Castor and soybean oils soften the skin of the feet and saturate it with nutrients. Herbal extracts additionally saturate the epidermis with vitamins and minerals, thereby stimulating its rejuvenation.

The chemical peeling that occurs during the procedure is rather mild. It does not create any discomfort for the woman, does not cause pain and inconvenience. Many manufacturers produce a line of alcohol-containing products, as well as socks with a strong moisturizing component. Such tools affectively soften the natoptish and help nourish the rough skin, but at the same time they act more gently.

The high popularity of pedicure socks is due to the fact that to use them you do not need to leave the house - all the necessary manipulations can be done while in the apartment, without interrupting household chores. If you like the procedure, in the future you will be able to opt out of visits to the pedicure room at all.

The procedure takes place in several stages.

• First you need to deploy peeling socks and put them on your feet so that they fit as closely as possible to the skin, are well kept and not slipped.
• To enhance the effectiveness of these socks, you can wear regular socks over them, which not only provide a snug fit to the skin, but also provide additional warmth.
• Products left on his feet for half an hour. At this time, you can walk, lie down or sleep - physical activity is not limited to absolutely nothing. During this time, acids will soften rough skin.

• After the allotted time, the products are removed, the feet are thoroughly washed with warm water and soap, wiped and covered with a moisturizer.
• The socks themselves are used only once, so after processing they must be disposed of.
• After three or four days, the skin in places of contact with socks will begin to peel off and even go “rags”.This is perfectly normal, do not be afraid and upset. During this period, the apartment is better to move in cotton socks, so as not to damage the skin of the feet.
• If the skin "slips" too intensely, you can prepare a small foot bath that will speed up the process of cell renewal.

Most users are unanimous in stating that pedicure socks differ from the company with maximum effectiveness. Sosu. A characteristic feature of the products of this brand is the absence of aggressive chemical elements, as well as the presence of ceramides, valuable plant components (sage, mint), as well as castor oil and hyaluronic acid. Socks of this brand have a cumulative effect, therefore it is necessary to wear them regularly (preferably 2 times a month).

Baby foot - These are Japanese products, which also consist of natural ingredients and natural acids. The composition includes malic acid, lemon oil, extracts of calendula, chamomile and sage, as well as other plants.

Braphy Callus Removal Food Pack - products of the Chinese manufacturer, which contain a fairly large amount of alcohol. This component causes a strong exfoliation. This is one of the cheapest varieties of care products. It is not recommended for users with dry and excessively flaky skin.

Floresan - a novelty from the Russian manufacturer. Such socks are much cheaper than imported analogues, but their effectiveness is significantly lower. The result is achieved by a combination of glycolic and salicylic acids, boosted with husks of apples and papaya. Products strongly dry the skin, so after their application it is necessary to further soften and moisturize the epidermis. It is possible to resort to repeated peeling not earlier than in a month.

Also on the market are not so well-known brand socks. For example, Ecotools Sustainable (products from iherb). Such socks moisturize the skin very well, but they do not solve the problem of corns and unaesthetic corns.

Skinlite - exfoliating peeling mask based on propylene and glycolic acids. It is distinguished by its high efficiency, due to which it quickly solves the problems of cornified skin on the heels.

Pedicure socks Tony moly from the Korean brand show maximum results on tough skin. They contribute to good cleansing, but they do not get rid of layers.

Users who have tried the action of pedicure socks on themselves, note that Such products have a lot of advantages:

• easy to use - to perform the procedure, you need to perform only a few basic actions;
• save time - for high-quality processing of feet it is not necessary to break away from ordinary business and go to the beauty salon;
• do not cause pain and inconvenience (unless, of course, they were chosen correctly);
• make the skin on the legs more tender, smooth and young.

All this time, the skin "comes off" in layers, which does not look too aesthetically pleasing. That is why it is better to use such socks in the cold season, when the legs are protected from prying eyes with closed shoes.

As already mentioned, the socks should be selected individually. With the wrong choice, individual reactions are not excluded. And, of course, a serious disadvantage is the price. Quality socks are expensive, and finding them on the free market can be difficult.

Consumers say that Japanese and Korean products are of the best quality and greater efficiency. Products from other manufacturers, even such well-known ones as L 'Etoile and Faberlic, do not give the effect of perfectly soft feet. It is noteworthy that some manufacturers produce socks with different flavors. In this case, express pedicure at home becomes not only effective, but also enjoyable.

Many women have a lack of confidence in such cosmetological know-how, and it is in vain. The right pair of peeling socks can literally work wonders, turning rough and unkempt legs into soft, tender and attractive ones in a week.
