Natural ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream part 2

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 Vitamin E:

With the outdoor environment we always expose our skin to wind, air
conditioners, indoor heating system, etc... Dry skin will eventually lead to flaky skin, it makes our skin look dull and lifeless. It will also
cause the skin to develop micro cracks and flakes, which will let
foreign objects in the air, bacteria and various forms of harmful
irritants to damage our skin.

This is what vitamin E is for, to provide ample nutrients and keep the skin healthy and beautiful.

How it works:
When creams and lotions containing vitamin E is topically applied on
the skin, the alpha-tocopherol form slips through the epidermis down
into the skin cells. When it’s inside the skin tissue, they start to be
converted into free tocopherol, a known antioxidant, which helps the
skin get rid of toxins and make it healthy.

There are also specific formulations of vitamin E skin care products that are best for special type of skin care treatments, such as targeting skin areas prone to dryness, such as hands and
heels. Some formulations are even used for scar reduction and
even stretch marks. Lotions with vitamin E are good for protecting your
skin from the harmful UV rays from the sun.

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

Prevent staph infection at your college dorm

What Is a Staph Infection?

Staph is the shortened name for Staphylococcus (pronounced: staf-uh-low-KAH-kus), a type of bacteria. These bacteria can live harmlessly on many skin surfaces, especially around the nose, mouth, genitals, and anus. But when the skin is punctured or broken for any reason, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause an infection.

How Do People Get Staph Infections?

In teens, most staph infections are minor skin infections. People with skin problems like burns or eczema may be more likely to get staph skin infections.

People can get staph infections from contaminated objects, but staph bacteria often spread through skin-to-skin contact — the bacteria can be spread from one area of the body to another if someone touches the infected area.

Staph infections can spread from person to person in group living situations (like college dorms). Usually this happens when people with skin infections share things like bed linens, towels, or clothing. Warm, humid environments can contribute to staph infections, so excessive sweating can increase someone's chances of developing an infection.

How To Prevent Staph Infections?


Clean bed linen, bath mats, towels, clothing and any other linen in FungiSolve. Throw it in the wash with one capsule of FungiSolve on cold wash and let the machine do the rest. FungiSolve also removes odour in material if you are prone to excessive sweating.
