Great article!🙃

Essential focus on……..Feet!

No this isn’t about an essential Oil of Feet, although I can imagine what smells it would conjure up with people, myself included!

No, this month I thought I would discuss the feet as they are predominantly a large part of what I do, being a Reflexologist. You can imagine I see a lot of feet, ranging from well looked after and pedicured to cracked, extremely hard and dry and ultimately more difficult to work with.. But I do also have a treatment especially for those with very dry and cracked feet with deep fissures around the edges of the heels. It is an in depth treatment with a Micro pedi skin filing system, to remove very hard dead skin. For really bad hard areas of dead skin, I can gently and slowly remove it with Professional Pedicure Knives. The double-sharpen edge blades are thin and sharp, perfect for removing callus, picking out corns and cutting down hardened nails. (However I would always suggest that folks with those sorts of issues regularly see a Chiropodist or Podiatrist to keep them from getting too far ahead.)

The feet are given a lovely foot Polish also usually with pink Himalayan salt, Lemon oil, Peppermint oil and Calendula that can help tone and soften skin's texture. It calms irritated, itchy, and rough skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Moreover, its cleansing characteristic helps improve the skin's health.

The foot treatment is completed with a good foot and lower leg massage. I use my own Foot Balm that I have developed with as many of the best ingredients for foot health you can get in a pot…nearly…!! It is very rich and nourishing and just what you need to treat those deep fissures around the heels and very dry skin and hard cuticles around the nails. However, whilst a session with me is great for starting to get your feet healthy and a regular session every fortnight or month, the other big benefit is moisturising your feet EVERY DAY!!!!……you may think that sounds too much, but believe me they need it. Your feet go through a lot more than your face, yet many women and some men now, daily give their faces a cleansing, maybe a Glycolic Exfoliant or Exfoliate Enzyme cream once or twice a week, a serum once or twice a day and a day and a night cream……and so many people can’t take 3-4 minutes to pop on some cream on their feet either in the morning before putting on socks or at night when they get into bed! The difference it can make moisturising your feet every day can drastically reduce the need to have to see your foot therapist so often.

My mantra is “where ever you have skin, moisturise, moisturise, moisturise” …so that is everywhere, as it is just as important to exfoliate, dry skin brush, in the right areas regularly as the average adult human actually loses something close to 500 million skin cells per day! Don't worry, though. Your body is made up of far more cells than that: about 30 trillion, or nearly 100,000 times more than the number of skin cells lost each day. But they have to go some where and exfoliating them off is the best way to keep your skin smooth, not so dry and facially keep wrinkles at bay, as it stops dead cells settling into your natural laughter and frown lines. But hey, that’s another topic for another day!

Below is a comparison of a Clients feet when we started weekly work. It wasn’t long before his feet looked great with him using balm daily at home. ….I now see him maybe every 2 months, but it’s never as bad as we were at the beginning.

If you have trouble with your feet, don’t be embarrassed to call for a consultation to see what we can do. It could be that your a bit immobile and don’t find it easy to get to your feet and it’s always nicer lying back, relaxing and have someone else do it for you👣🙌

Give me a call or text on 07747145064 or send me a message through Facebook on Essentially Yours Aromatherapy.
This cream is available through me at the Treatment room at £13 a pot. You don’t need much, it’s very intensive.

I thought I would share this article again from a couple of years ago, as I have been working on a lot of peoples feet lately. Whether it be Reflexology of other matters pertaining to the health of the Pedites.
This pot of cream is little miracle. Used regularly it will your feet in tip top condition. With an occasional visit to someone like myself who can give feet a really good “Footcial” as I call it or foot spa, there is no reason that anyone should be walking around with feet that they are either embarrassed to show in sandals or at very worse, painful. ….nobody should be suffering that, and must not be even shy about coming out of shadows to do something about it.
