What are the benefits of foot mask

1. Whitening and rejuvenating skin

This foot mask has added whitening ingredients such as vitamin C and niacinamide, so it has the effect of whitening and brightening the skin tone. However, if you want the whitening to last for a long time, you still need to do a good job of sun protection for your feet.

2. Hydration and Moisturization

Because the skin on the feet will become dehydrated and cracked due to the thick stratum corneum, the maintenance foot mask also has an exfoliating effect, but it is relatively gentle and will not cause large areas of peeling.

3. Remove dead skin from feet

Foot masks soften calluses, dead skin and keratin and accelerate cell metabolism through the acidic ingredients such as salicylic acid, lactic acid and fruit acid contained in them. These substances can promote the aging and shedding of hard skin on the feet, which is what we usually call "peeling".

Is it necessary to soak your feet after doing a foot mask?

After applying the foot mask, rinse it off with water and go to bed. Then, starting from the next day, soak your feet for about half an hour every night for a week and you will see the dead skin falling off gradually. Although you don’t have to soak your feet, the effect will be obviously reduced.
