"Liquid blade" for a pedicure: features and rules of use of funds

True lady is distinguished by the following details: well-groomed hair, clean neat clothes, fresh manicure and neat pedicure. However, tight shoes, work "on the feet" and even a genetic predisposition can be the causes of the coarsening of the skin of the feet, the appearance of dry corns and corns. Thanks to the "liquid blade" you can perform a pedicure procedure at home, quickly and fairly easily getting rid of the above-described troubles.

"Liquid blade" refers to cosmetics, which are based on keratolytic effect. The latter involves the ability of the composition to exfoliate the skin. Thus, it is possible to remove dry calluses, keratinized areas of the skin of the feet, without resorting to methods that impair the integrity of the skin.

The principle of the "liquid blade" is based on the ability of the composition to penetrate under the skin and soften the horny parts of it. This is made possible by the chemical composition of the product, in particular, the presence of fruit acids in it as the base ingredient. In addition to the main ingredient, glycerin, hyaluron, retinol are usually found in the composition of the agents. Each of them contributes to a more rapid recovery of the skin, maintaining the desired level of moisture, and also has an antiseptic effect.

There are several options for the release of funds. The most common, because it is convenient, is a bottle with a cap-dispenser. Inside it is, as a rule, a liquid gel-like consistency. After application to the heel area, the agent foams and begins to affect the cornified layer.

There are also types of keratolytics in the form of a disposable sachet - napkins soaked in the product. It is convenient to take the last two on trips, and also most people prefer to first acquire an unfamiliar means in a small volume. Sachets and napkins for this purpose are convenient.

The main advantage of such compositions is the ability to perform a pedicure and care for the skin of the feet, avoiding methods that imply a violation of the integrity of the skin (using a pedicure scraper and other tools for trimming pedicure heels). This avoids injury to the skin and its infection.

Those who use scrubbers and similar heel care tools know that the more intensively you rub the skin, the faster it coarsens. Keratolytics allow you to avoid this, since they remove only the layer of dead cells that are unnecessary for the feet. While using the “liquid blade”, the next layer of the skin is not removed, as it happens when using pumice stone, so the result lasts longer.

The advantage of the "liquid blade" is the relatively low price. (compared with the cost of salon care), as well as the ability to use it at home. It is thanks to keratolytics that they manage to do a pedicure that is not inferior in its salon results, without having special skills and a wide arsenal of tools.

The effect of the use of keratolytics is noticeable after the first use. The procedure itself does not require much time.As already mentioned, it is possible to carry out the procedure at home, without worrying about the fact that it was not possible to achieve perfectly sterile conditions. They are not needed, firstly, because there are no open wounds (as with an edged pedicure), and secondly, there is a powerful antiseptic as part of the product. Thus, even without processing tools, you are protected from infection by a fungus.

The relative painlessness of the procedure is also a “plus” of the liquid blade. Cutting manicure can be a real torture for owners of extremely rough or sensitive skin. When using keratolytics, there are no unpleasant, and even more painful sensations. The exception is the presence of open wounds and microcracks on the skin, in which case a characteristic reaction of the agent is detected.

You can use the tool not only to soften and moisturize the skin of the feet, but also to combat dry calluses., with increased perspiration, natoptysh, ingrown nails, in order to maintain the result of a pedicure held in the salon. In this case, you need to wait for complete healing of the wounds inflicted during the pedicure.

In this review, trampled funds that demonstrate efficiency, usability and sufficient price affordability. Among such keratolytics is the “liquid blade” from the Faberlic brand (the product name is Faberlic Expert Pharma). The composition is alkaline, based on potassium hydroxide.

In the future, focusing on the result, you can, if desired, increase the time of exposure of this cream.

Buyers believe that the product from the Faberlic brand corresponds to the majority of the means declared by the manufacturer and justifies its cost. The users say that using the product cannot be compared with salon care, however, the gel helps to remove dead particles and make the heels relatively smooth. Women are warned that they should not be applied to open wounds opened with corns. The effect of the procedure lasts for about 5-7 days, the tool itself is quite liquid, so the consumption can not be called economical.

Users note that this composition “works” even without preliminary steaming of the heels. It is enough to apply a cosmetic and wrap cellophane over the treated skin, and wear socks over it.

As polls show, chemical components are more active, faster and more impressive results.However, we must not forget about the risk of possible burns, allergies and unwanted reactions when using such compounds.
