In the constant search for a personal care routine that covers all aspects of our well-being, we often overlook the care of our hands, feet, and nails. However, these play a crucial role not only in our personal presentation but also in our overall health. In this post, we invite you to discover how SNB products can completely transform the care of your feet and hands, offering effective solutions for common problems such as onycholysis, among others.

Onycholysis Treatments: What Is It and How Is It Cured?

Onycholysis, a common skin pathology, is characterized by the spontaneous separation of the nail from the nail bed, frequently affecting the big toe but can also occur in other fingers and hands. This separation is often the result of injuries caused by strong or repetitive blows, and its treatment is fundamental to prevent greater complications.

How to Eliminate Onycholysis?

The most effective approach to Onycholysis includes eliminating the underlying cause and allowing the affected nail to rest and regenerate. Although the market offers various vitamins and supplements to strengthen nails, their efficacy may be limited. However, we have found that the SNB Active Nail Fluid with propolis and lavender oil stands out as an outstanding solution for treating this condition.

• Product properties: This treatment leverages the antibacterial and regenerative properties of propolis, along with the soothing and rejuvenating effects of lavender oil, offering comprehensive care for nails affected by onycholysis.
• How to use: For best results, it is recommended to apply the fluid directly to the affected nail, preferably at night, allowing the active ingredients to work during nocturnal rest.

Cracked Heels

What to Do to Cure Cracked Heels?

To cure cracked heels, it is essential to initiate a treatment that includes deep hydration and skin repair. The use of specialized creams, such as SNB's repairing cream with urea, provides the essential nutrients and hydration needed to soften and heal cracks effectively.

What Disease Causes Cracks in the Heels?

Cracks in the heels can be caused by various factors, including dermatological conditions like eczema, which often has a genetic basis. Other common causes include diabetes, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, Sjogren's syndrome, and infections like athlete's foot. These conditions can lead to extreme dryness, leading to the formation of cracks.

A Definitive Solution with SNB

Cracked heels represent one of the most common foot care problems, but thanks to SNB, finding an effective solution is easier than you think. SNB dermatologists have developed a unique healing cream with a composition of natural ingredients, ideal for softening and soothing cracks, ensuring visible results after just one week of use.

This repairing cream not only relieves the annoying symptoms of cracked heels but also promotes deep healing, restoring the softness and health of the skin. With its formula enriched with urea, this product effectively penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, providing intense hydration and accelerating the repair process.

Hyperkeratosis

Hyperkeratosis, characterized by the thickening of the skin on the feet, can present a challenge in terms of care and treatment. Although some types can be mitigated with the use of corticosteroid creams, conditions such as papillomas or plantar warts often require surgical intervention or specialized treatments recommended by a podiatrist.

Hyperkeratosis, the excessive thickening of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, is a condition that can appear on various parts of the body, including feet, hands, knees, and heels. It affects patients with a wide range of dermatological and systemic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and diabetes, manifesting in localized thickening and dryness of the skin that can lead to painful wounds.

Local treatments for cutaneous hyperkeratosis usually include keratolytic drugs, which weaken the bonds between keratin proteins. Urea is one of the most used components in these treatments, especially in concentrations higher than 10%, where its keratolytic, antibacterial, and moisturizing effect is more pronounced.

How Is Hyperkeratosis on the Feet Cured?

To effectively combat hyperkeratosis, SNB has developed products that combine urea with other active components, such as hydroxy acids, allantoin, d-panthenol, and vitamin E, leveraging their regenerative, keratolytic, and moisturizing properties to improve skin condition.

Post-Treatment Care with SNB Products

After receiving professional treatment, it is vital to follow a specialized care regimen to prevent the recurrence of hyperkeratosis. SNB offers a range of products specifically designed for this purpose:

• Active Pedicure Protective Lotion with Propolis and Lavender Oil: This SNB product helps to gently delaminate the skin, promoting regeneration and providing a soothing effect thanks to its natural ingredients.
• Protective Lotion with Clotrimazole: To prevent fungal infections like athlete's foot, the SNB Protective Lotion with Clotrimazole is highly recommended. Clotrimazole is effective against fungi, helping to keep feet free from infections and controlling odor.

The correct application of keratolytics, focused on cleaning and drying the affected areas before use, is crucial for their effectiveness. Moreover, slightly cooling these products before application can alleviate the itching associated with hyperkeratosis.

The use of specialized SNB products not only treats the overproduction of keratinized epidermis but also nourishes and deeply moisturizes the skin, restoring a healthy and aesthetic appearance.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive and unpredictable sweating, affecting individuals even in cool conditions or at rest. This condition results from an increase in the activity of the sweat glands, causing abundant sweating in specific areas of the body.

How Can Hyperhidrosis Be Combated?

Effective management of hyperhidrosis involves the use of specialized products designed to control excess sweating and keep the skin dry and comfortable. SNB offers specific solutions with active ingredients that help mitigate the symptoms of this condition:

• Foot Powder Deodorant with Cornstarch, Propolis, and Lavender Oil: This SNB product offers an effective solution to keep feet dry, taking advantage of the absorbent properties of cornstarch and the antibacterial and soothing qualities of propolis and lavender oil.
• Restorative Foot Balm: In addition to controlling sweating, it is crucial to restore and maintain the health of the skin on the feet. The SNB Restorative Foot Balm intensely nourishes, soothes the skin affected by excessive sweating, and helps prevent the formation of bad odors.

The proper treatment of hyperhidrosis not only improves the quality of life by reducing the discomfort associated with excessive sweating but also prevents potential complications such as bacterial or fungal infections derived from persistent moisture. Incorporating these SNB products into your personal care routine can offer significant relief and improve the health and comfort of your feet.

Management and Treatment of Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails, a common condition where the edge of a nail digs into the surrounding skin, can cause pain, redness, and inflammation. If not properly treated, they can lead to serious infections and complications.

How to Cure an Ingrown Toenail?

The initial treatment for an ingrown toenail may include soaking in warm water, the use of antibiotics if there is an infection, and in more severe cases, surgical intervention. It is advisable to consult a podiatrist before attempting any home treatment to avoid worsening the condition.

How to Remove an Ingrown Toenail at Home?

While there are measures that can be taken at home to alleviate the pain, such as foot baths in warm saltwater, it is important to avoid attempting to remove the ingrown toenail by oneself. Seeking professional help is crucial for proper and safe treatment.

What to Do If I Have an Ingrown Toenail?

If you experience symptoms of an ingrown toenail, it is safest to seek a podiatrist's opinion. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and avoiding pressure on the nail can help prevent complications.

What Happens If I Don't Remove an Ingrown Toenail?

Not treating an ingrown toenail can lead to severe infections and possibly surgery. Early attention from a specialist can prevent these complications.

Recommended Treatment for Ingrown Toenails

For the specific treatment of ingrown toenails, SNB offers the Ingrown Toenail Softener with Bisabolol. This product is designed to soften the nail and facilitate its correction, reducing discomfort and the risk of infection. Its formula contains active ingredients such as bisabolol, which helps to soothe inflamed skin and promote healing.

It is important to apply this product only at night, as its use during the day can lead to nail deformations due to activity and pressure on the foot. Nighttime application ensures that the treatment acts effectively while the foot is at rest, maximizing absorption and effectiveness of the product. However, it is better to consult a podiatrist before worsening the problem by attempting home solutions.
