The other day, a customer asked me, "How about using GA Cosmetics' all-in-one gel for heel care?" I basically recommend it as an all-in-one gel for use before and after a facial shaver, but I actually often use it for my arms and legs.
When I looked into skin again, I found that the information provided by dermatologists and pharmaceutical manufacturers was generally something like the following:
The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue . The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, and is further divided into five layers.
The five layers of the epidermis are: 1) the stratum corneum , 2) the stratum lucidum (only found in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet), 3) the stratum granulosum , 4) the stratum spinosum , and 5) the stratum basale.
In addition, new cells are produced every day in the basal layer, the deepest layer of the epidermis, which eventually become the stratum corneum and finally turn into dandruff, which is then peeled off and shed. This cycle (turnover) repeats about every 40 to 50 days, depending on the age and area. Many guides and explanations state that turnover is "28 days."
By the way, the "stratum lucidum" is only found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, where keratinization is incomplete, so the density of fibers is higher than that of the stroma, and when viewed under a microscope, it strongly refracts light, hence the name. In terms of location, as mentioned above, it is sandwiched between ① the stratum corneum and ③ the stratum granulosum.
So, the soles of your feet need to be considered, but if you apply gel to the dry areas of your shins and arms after a bath, they will become moisturized. Well, I also secretly apply it around my Achilles tendons before going to bed (^▽^)/
Would you like to give this as a gift during the upcoming dry season?
Pack of 2 is a great deal!
