Natural ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream


This past Saturday we celebrated #EarthHourZA and made a pledge to #UpCycleCans not only is here a picture of our pledge we also want to inform you of the natural ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream.



One of our ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream is Urea:

It is an important component of skin
moisturization, which is naturally found in youthful skin but starts
to deplete as we age. Urea is a girls best friend, especially if you have dry, depleted skin, that often feels like it is one size to small.

Urea makes up about 8.5% of our skins natural moisturizer.
When our skin is exposed to low humidity and harsh environmental conditions, the water content in the skin tissues is reduced therefore we need to replace this moisture in harsh conditions.

Making Medipod Foot Repair Cream effective to rid these skin conditions:
  • Dryness
  • Dehydration
  • Irritation
  • Inflammation
  • Sensitivity

- The Atlantic

“Staph has been spread in locker rooms by towel snapping. If he's got turf burn on his leg and you've got the bacteria on the towel, he can become infected.”
- Men’s Health

“All athletes are predisposed to the bug because they have close contact with one another in locker rooms. They share equipment, and, of course, collision sports lead to abrasions and open the skin, which provides a portal of entry for bacteria.”

Runner's feet

After recently setting up a FREE Foot Massage tent at the  Milkwood Run, we realised that alot of runners don't look after there feet. They want to be pampered but possible don't have the time.



Here's a bit of knowledge on how fungal infections start:
A fungal nail infection generally starts out as a slight yellowish tinge to the nail, or even a white spot. But as the fungus begins to spread and mature, it can turn a yellow, green or even black colour. Because the nail is designed to be strong, removing an infection from the nail bed can be tricky.

Prevention:


  1. Drying thoroughly between your toes after a bath or shower is a good idea. 
  2. It's also worth keeping your nails trimmed - cut straight across (especially for runners), not going too close to the skin. 
  3. Shoes that allow your feet to breathe and your toes to wiggle prevent the conditions that fungus thrives in. 
  4. Use Medipod Foot Repair Cream, it is a 2 minute a day spa in a tube. The 4 in 1 Foot Repair Cream  will keep your feet smooth and provides a 24h protection from bacteria and fungus.
  5. Wash your shoes in FungiSolve, 60% of people suffer from skin infections of the feet, and/or toenails. FungiSolve stops reinfection in Athlete's foot. 
Symptoms:

Early on, the fungal organisms (dermatophytes) create a white spot or yellow tinge to the nail, usually on the top or at its side. The nail can then grow thicker before starting to crumble away.
