Put a spring in your step.

Your feet are a duo that tirelessly support you every day of your life. The fact is, not only do your feet enjoy regular attention and pampering, but your entire well-being benefits from you taking good care of your feet.

A case for more foot care.

Are you more of a “foot care: it has to be done” person or a “foot care: I love it” person? This article offers you a chance to become the latter – if you’re not already, that is. Foot care has a lot going for it and nothing against it.

Healthy feet are beautiful feet.

Did you know? The skin on your feet has fewer sebaceous glands than other parts of your body and therefore dries out more easily. If cracks and fissures appear, not only is this a cosmetic issue but also an invitation for different pathogens to enter your body through your skin. By taking good care of your feet, you help to stabilise the skin’s natural barrier and provide your feet with a more effective defence mechanism. Happy, healthy feet require your love and attention, here are a few easy ways to prioritise your feet with self-care.
