Our secret guide to the best hands & feet treatments

Why is hand and foot care important?

Aside from making your hands and feet look pretty, regular maintenance for your feet and hands is actually beneficial both for your confidence, your physical health, and even your emotional well-being:

Improved confidence

We always feel better when we’re looking our best, right? Whatever your “best” is for you, we know that having perfectly smooth feet and soft hands can massively enhance our confidence, especially if we’re wearing strappy heels or heading to the beach. Make hand and foot care a staple in your beauty routine and watch your confidence skyrocket!

Can alleviate anxiety and help you de-stress

Did you know that giving yourself a hand massage can help promote serotonin, the body’s “happy” hormone that increases your overall well being while also reducing anxiety and stress? Proof that incorporating a hand and foot massage into your home beauty routine can - literally - make you happy.

Avoid foot problems and imperfections

If you wear high heels, walk on uneven surfaces, or even spend a lot of time barefoot at the beach and elsewhere, you might find that you develop a number of foot imperfections, including dry skin on your feet, corns, bunions, calluses, and even ingrown toenails. Taking care of your feet regularly will help prevent this, and keep your feet soft and smooth all year round.

Beauty Pro Tips for Pretty Hands and Feet

Aside from incorporating the above products into your beauty routine, what else can you do to maintain healthy feet and hands? Our beauty pros have you covered - follow the steps below to enjoy soft, supple, crack-free, and callus-free hands and feet all year round:

• Wear gloves whenever you’re washing the dishes or cleaning use harsh chemical agents; these can damage both your nails and dry out your hands.
• Cover up your hands in colder weather - this will help shield your hands from the weather and prevent them from becoming dry.

Get regular manicures and pedicures. When you want to upgrade your home spa night and let a professional take over, head to a salon for a professional manicure or pedicure. The salon specialist will help keep any calluses, dryness, corns, or bunions at bay.
