It is no secret that all kinds of means are used to maintain beauty - from folk to high-tech. But in addition to being beautiful, I really want to be healthy, and for this, at least, I want to use less of all kinds of chemistry. Including in cosmetics... But now for some reason more and more often it turns out that everything that is natural is immediately very expensive. Therefore, I want to share a recipe for a cream for heels and feet - which is both inexpensive and effective, and there is little chemistry))
To create our cream we need:
Calendula ointment (20g)
Vitamin A oil (10 ml)
Lavender essential oil
Calendula ointment quite viscous, well applied, and also very useful. It has anti-inflammatory, reparative and antiseptic effects. These effects are due to the rich content of substances (flavonoids, saponins, tannins, organic acids, vitamin C and others), which enhance granulation, improve epithelialization, and increase local defense mechanisms. Perfectly promotes the healing of small wounds, cuts, cracks.
Vitamin A (retinol) - promotes the regeneration of the epithelium, regulates metabolic processes in the skin, has a significant effect on tissue respiration. It is also used to activate the processes of healing and tissue regeneration, to treat wounds, ulcers, burns, frostbite.
EO lavender - can be used to treat any skin. It destroys pathogenic microbes, normalizes sebum production, helps tissue regeneration in places of microscopic cracks, abrasions, helps smooth the skin after acne has healed. At inflammatory processes you can treat the affected areas. Helps to strengthen vascular wall... Under the influence essential oil lavender improves blood flow in the capillaries, eliminates inflammation, irritation, flaking.
I use small proportions of the ingredients for the cream so that it does not spoil - since there are no additional additives for storage in it. Such a jar is enough for me for 1.5-2 months of use every evening. Stored in the bedside table.
If your heels are in a very poor condition, then after applying the cream, we put small plastic bags and socks on your feet for 1.5-2 hours. Just to care for the heel legs - we smear them before going to bed small amount cream (it is very greasy and spreads well).
Here is such a cream I make and use for my heel legs - and they are in excellent condition, and I am happy))) Maybe someone else will come in handy
