There is Something Fishy Out Here

Feet are the most neglected part of our body. They are jammed in inconvenient shoes, kicked around and supposed to carry you through out the day. For a pair of feet that is neighbour’s envy and owner’s pride, you need to treat them with care.

Socrates was right when he said, “When your feet hurt, you hurt all over.” For glowing soles get regular pedicure. There are gadgets that allow you to do pedicures in the convenience of your home along with the luxury of foot massage. Dip your feet in foot bath hot massagers which are mini hot tubs where sudsy and soft bubbles armed with roller pads work on the soles of your feet to wash off the stress bundled inside you. For instant relief from weary feet add drops of lavender oil in this. We recommend Yves Rocher Lavander Relaxing oil for feet.

Anyone for scrub  

Most of us are religious in using face scrub twice a week on our face. But, what about foot scrub? Smriti who is working as software techie asks, “Won’t my face scrub be good for my feet as well?” “The answer is no, because we all know that there is a difference between our facial skin and the skin on our feet,” informs Dr Gulshan Panesar, consultant dermatologist with Moolchand. Try scrubs specially designed for your feet and you can pick one from Yves Rocher. For maximum comfort to your feet slather it with foot cream post the regime and wear cotton socks to seal in the moisture.

Foot massage

Getting a foot massage sounds tempting! And having one at your beck and call is sheer luxury.

1. Vibrating massagers—these are like large soft pillows on which you place your feet and plug it in. It has beads all over that give you a relaxing massage.

2. Beyond foot—there are massagers that simulate human touch to give you the most satisfying massage from your calves all the way to your ankles, toes and soles once you have surrendered your feet in their reinvigorating grip. These massagers have rollers that massage and soothe your soles with the revitalizing rolling movements while the luxuriously comfortable grip cushions gently hug your feet and ankle for a thorough massage. At the same time they relax your tensed calf muscles with each kneading action.

3. Reflexology meets massage—you even get massagers that combine the wisdom of foot reflexology and traditional chiropractic therapy to invigorate tired muscles and stressed joints as well as soothe problems triggered by ill-fitting footwear.

Putting your foot in fish’s mouth

The latest therapy to hit the town on foot care is fish pedicure. “Sounds unusual, try it once and you’ll be hooked for life,” assures Nupur, owner Tangles spa and saloon at Gurgaon where fish pedicure is done.

What exactly is fish pedicure?

In a basin of warm water tiny little toothless fish swim which are called Doctor Fish. They gently nibble at the dead skin and leave the live skin alone. Once fish are done with their job, normal pedicure follows and you get a pair of soft baby-like feet.
Nupur says, “More and more people are coming to me to try this therapy and they want to combine it with foot reflexology.” A session of fish pedicure will cost you Rs 350 but the pedicure is such that you had never had before,
