Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains three uses for urea: overnight foot repair with occlusion for cracked skin, treatment for keratosis pilaris, and help sloughing psoriasis plaques when paired with prescriptions.
Three ways urea can help your skin. Number one, if you have dry, cracked feet and you don't have time to get a pedicure because let's face it, we're going into winter, urea can be a miracle overnight repair for your feet. Just put that shit all over your feet and wrap it up in Saran Wrap and put it into your socks and you'll have yourself a diy. Overnight pedicure has keratolytic effects, so it's going to break off and slough off all those dead skin cells that make your feet look crusty. 2. This is one of the most underrated hacks out there. Urea is great for keratosis Pilaris AKA Strawberry SK because it's not all about lactic acid for this condition. Last, as a board certified dermatologist, Psoriasis Psoriasis is a condition in which your skin does not shed and it sort of clumps into these silvery plaques like this. Urea is a great addition in addition to prescriptions to help slough off that skin and minimize the overall thickness of that psoriatic plaque. Let me know if you nerds have any questions below.
