Lübbecke – Many of us like to think back to our teenage years. Finally more independence and exciting new experiences, some of which were a bit careless. This phase of life usually remains unforgotten in the curve of memories. We often vividly picture the time between the ages of 16 and 25. In this formative phase, opinions, preferences and needs develop. Among other things, the Day of Youth on August 12 draws attention to this. These needs are reflected in all areas of life. Including politics, sports, leisure and much more. Adolescents and young adults also have their own preferences and desires when it comes to cosmetics, beauty and foot care. This is shown by the current GEHWOL foot care trends.
Healthy feet are important to most young people (80% of respondents). At the same time, many have a critical attitude towards their own feet: a good third (31%) even consider them unpresentable. In contrast to the somewhat older generations, however, there is often still a lack of awareness of actively doing something for their own feet: only about every second person under the age of 19 (59%) thinks that taking care of their own feet is important. This puts them well below the average age (76%). In fact, teenagers also have foot problems. However, these are usually different difficulties than those of their adult siblings, parents or grandparents.
One of the most common problem areas in the young age group is cold feet. This is where GEHWOL Warming Balm can help. The contained extracts from algae, paprika, ginger, as well as essential oils from rosemary, lavender and camphor stimulate the blood circulation and provide a pleasant feeling of warmth. Skin-friendly care substances such as avocado oil, beeswax and lanolin improve skin moisture levels. Blisters are also often a problem for young people. GEHWOL FUSSKREM, for example, is suitable for preventing annoying pressure points. Thanks to the unique mixture of medical special soap, lanolin and talc, a light, slippery layer forms on the skin after the preparation has been applied. This effectively protects against sores and blisters. If it’s already too late, a blister plaster is the savior in an emergency. The hydrocolloid system of the GEHWOL blister plaster removes moisture from the blister and combines with it to form a breathable, gel-like protective cushion. It covers the bladder, reduces pressure when walking and keeps the wound clean and germ-free with a stable all-round fixation. It promotes wound healing and enables pain-free walking. The right foot care is an important basis for young people to be able to stride through life with motivation.
