National Feet Week might sound like a belated April Fool’s Day joke, but there is an official week in April (17th – 23rd, this year) where we’re all reminded to prioritise our foot health. The thinking behind it is that the feet are one of the most neglected areas of the body; if you have a toothache, you would visit the dentist, if you have trouble with your vision then you would automatically call an optician. What about your feet?
Well, look no further than Pure Beauty, where we have a whole bunch of products which will help you to keep your feet in their healthiest condition ever. Here are five of our favourites:
Maskology Foot Peel Professional Foot Treatment
Foot peels have never been more popular (remember lockdown, when your entire social feed was full of pictures of people’s feet with the skin falling off?!) and this one from Maskology is particularly excellent. The best-selling peel uses a formula of over 16 powerful botanical and fruit extracts to gradually remove rough and dead skin from the feet in just 7 days. The treatment takes up to two hours and after a couple of days, the skin starts to shed, so if you’re planning to go anywhere in sandals, make sure you use the booties WELL in advance, unless you want to leave a trail of flaky skin behind you!
CeraVe SA Renewing Foot Cream
The feet are a hugely hard-working part of most people’s body and often suffer from dryness or areas of hardening skin. CeraVe SA Renewing Foot Cream fights against dry, coarse patches of skin, wrapping your feet in a quenching veil of moisture. The cream contains a combination of three different ceramides, as well as hyaluronic acid, which combine to deeply penetrate the skin with moisture. This means that as well as softening your skin, it will also encourage your feet to stay soft over time.
Bloom and Blossom Spritzy Toes Revitalising Leg and Foot Spray
If you spend a lot of time on your feet, then you’ll know that tired legs and feet can be a real pain. This spray from Bloom and Blossom contains aloe vera and is designed to instantly relieve and revitalise tired legs. The added lime oil helps to purify skin and stimulate circulation to ease the feeling of heavy legs, while pentylene glycol helps to instantly condition skin to leave it touchably soft. It’s a multi-purpose product which gives you a real bang for your buck.
This Works Perfect Heels Rescue Balm
Unless you’re VERY lucky (or obsessive about pumicing), there’s a good chance that your heels are one of the areas of your body where hard skin is an ongoing problem. This Works Perfect Heels Rescue Balm is a deeply moisturising foot balm to repair and perfect parched skin. The balm is cruelty-free, contains only natural fragrance and is also free from silicone, so you know that you’re putting only the best formulas on your skin.
Voesh Pedi in a Box 5 Step O2 Fizz Raspberry Sorbet
While many of us will rush to the salon to have our fingernails cared for, fewer people have their feet looked after by a professional. These kits from Voesh make it even easier to take care of your own feet, by giving you everything you need for an at-home pedicure! Each product is individually packed with the right amount for a single pedicure and the kit contains a Detox Soak , Fizz Powder, Sugar Scrub, Cream Mask and a Massage Butter.
