Benefits of Exfoliation:
Our feet, just like the rest of our body, require regular exfoliation to keep them healthy and free from dead skin and callouses. Other benefits of foot exfoliation include; the prevention of cracked heals, increased blood circulation and keeping infections at bay. Surprisingly, massaging the feet can also help reduce aches and pains throughout the entire body when pressure is applied to specific areas. Regular exfoliation not only helps to reduce or eliminate pain and foot problems, it will also leave you with soft, silky smooth feet.
