Why do our feet need extra care?
--------------------------------
The skin all over our body, including that on the feet, is
exposed to harmful factors almost every day. However, the feet
tend to take a beating worse than any other part. Sun’s harmful
UV rays tan them and cause free radical damage (leading to
s). Low humidity and winters steal the moisture and result
in dryness and cracking. Dust and may block the pores.
Sweating may lead to bacterial or fungal infections.
Furthermore, our feet are unquestionably more prone to get
wounded, cut etc; as well as are susceptible to sores, corns etc.
And aging skin loses its ability to repair any of the damage
done. To add to this, it is the muscles of our feet that suffer,
whether we walk, run or exercise. Thus, our feet demand extra
care.

The main active constituent of the thyme is thymol. It is
very popular for its potent anti-septic properties. Its topical

circulation as well as the nervous system; while relieving

of heels. It is semi-occlusive; i.e. it protects the skin from
environmental factors by forming a thin barrier; while sealing
the moisture in and yet allowing the skin to breathe.

butter a potent anti-oxidant too. It prevents formation of fine
lines; by maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin. It

repair including the damaged heel tissues.
What properties of Jojoba Oil make it a good foot care agent?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-bah) makes for an excellent moisturizer
for the skin. Firstly it very closely resembles our body’s
natural oil. Secondly, it is not really oil, but rather a liquid
wax, thus does not make the skin greasy or block pores
(non-comedogenic). Thirdly, its emollient property greatly
reduces the water loss from the skin’s surface, while allowing
the skin to breathe.
Produced in the seed of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) ; it
also exhibits anti-bacterial property that helps keep the pores
clean, while treating minor skin infections. Also anti-oxidant in
nature, due to the presence of tacopherols, jojoba oil maintains
the elasticity and firmness of the skin; thus minimizing fine
lines.
