Here are some shares from dermatologist Dr. Priyanka Reddy - technology expert and founder at a DNA dermatology clinic, Bangalore - about exfoliating your legs.
Reasons to Exfoliate Your Feet
- Prevent heel cracking and give you smooth skin.
- In addition to removing dead skin cells, it also helps increase blood circulation.
- Exfoliation is great for relieving pain and relieving stress.
- Because we tend to sweat a lot in humid weather, this combined with exposure to dust can cause you to get infected with fungi. Regular foot rubbing can prevent infections.
- The buildup of dead skin can lead to the formation of rough bottles, leading to pain and gait problems. Therefore, regular exfoliation will also help control this condition.
How to exfoliate your legs
- Exfoliate with sugar and olive oil
Mix olive oil and sand sugar in a ratio of 1:1. Apply this mixture to your feet and massage for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Sugar is the best exfoliant, while olive oil has great moisturizing properties. When combined, both ingredients help exfoliate and moisturize the skin.
- Exfoliate with coffee and coconut oil
Mix 2 teaspoons of coffee and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil together to thicken the mixture. Use this mixture to rub and massage your feet for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
Coffee is a skin exfoliant and increases blood circulation. Coconut oil has nutritional properties and prevents dry feet.
