Glytone Body Lotion Repairs Cracked Heels in Less than a Month
By Carol Mandro, Skincare Associate
 I am so lucky to work in a Skincare company and I am really excited about this new line of products from Avene. Glytone Body Lotion is a retexturizing body lotion formulated with glycolic acid. We all know that Glycolic acid is a great exfoliator. Glytone Body Lotion is a rich (a little thicker than most) lotion with a glycolic free acid value of 17.5.
 I have a problem with my heels, they get so dry they crack. They cause my stockings to run, they catch on the bed sheets, they can become painful, and they embarrass me. Who wants to wear sling backs or sandals when your heels look like that. You spend so much time making sure that the rest of you, your face, your hands, your décolletage look great, and then there are your feet with the cracked heels and scaly skin.
Summer is coming and sandals! Start using Glytone Body Lotion now and don’t be embarrassed by your feet! I started using this lotion as soon as our representative brought it to us. I used it on my cracked heels every night and every morning for two weeks. (I feel this is a little bit aggressive and most might want to use it once a day, better after bathing or showering and at the same time each day if possible.) I did wear socks after application and took them off when I went to bed or dressed. After 2 weeks, I used it every other night after bathing alternating with Avene Trixera Emollient Cream. That was one month ago.

Magnification of these photos can be seen in the photo gallery under Glytone. You can see what an improvement I got after just one month. Even after two weeks, there was marked improvement. I will say that it is a little too strong for my hands using it twice a day. My hands peeled a little, especially my right hand, so I decided to wash my hands after applying the body lotion to my feet. I applied Trixera Emmollient Cream to my hands after washing and that helped soothe and soften my hands. Let me also tell you how hard it is to take a picture of the heels of your feet by yourself. It’s really a twist.  Glytone Body Lotion helps smooth rough bumps while it optimizes your skin’s natural renewal process. It moisturizes and softens, leaving skin smoother to the touch. It can also be used on arms, legs and other parts of the body that need special attention. My elbows and knees needed special attention too. It is a too strong for the face so resist using it there. I find that it is also a little strong on my décolletage. I am using the Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash when I shower and then Glytone Body Lotion as a follow up immediately after. I use the Trixera Emollient Cream where I think the glycolic in the Glytone Body Lotion may be too strong and my skin has never felt so smooth and fresh! And just look at my feet! I am so happy with the results and with how quickly I was able to attain results. I am very dedicated to new product trials, so I do use them as directed to get results. As with any product, this is the case. If you don’t use it, it doesn’t work.
Directions for use: Apply daily to arms, legs and other parts of the body that require special attention; avoid the face. For best results, use Glytone Body Lotion immediately after bathing. For optimal results use with Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash. It is not recommended for use immediately after shaving or hair removal (it will really sting and may cause irritation). Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.
