The professional therapy sock is made of cotton and spandex (lycra) — the soft cotton is skin-friendly and breathable, the spandex provides elasticity and a perfect fit. The therapy sock is primarily used for the nightly fixing of foot-care products — creams, body lotions, skin-rejuvenators: pulled on after application, the sock holds the active ingredients on the foot during the night as well.
Night-time foot care — the role of the therapy sock
The basic principle of wearing the therapy sock is simple: foot-care cream or body lotion should be applied to the foot, then the sock pulled on, and left on during sleep. The material of the sock prevents the bedding from soaking up the cream, while the active ingredients absorb into the skin overnight. The morning result is usually soft, renewed skin — particularly recommended for heel care and for dry, cracked skin.
Cotton and spandex — a comfortable material blend
The cotton and spandex blend ensures that the sock is soft and does not squeeze the foot at night. The spandex holds the form and prevents slipping during wear. They retain their elasticity and form even after regular washing. The sock is sized for an adult foot, and is comfortable for long night-time wear.
Step-by-step use
Clean and dry your foot. Apply a skin nourisher, foot-care cream or your chosen body lotion to your foot — particularly to the heel and to dry areas. Pull on the therapy sock, and keep it on through the entire night. In the morning, take it off, and rinse your foot with lukewarm water. Regular use, two to three times weekly, may already give a noticeable effect.
