I ramble a lot about facial products, but body care, and in particular, feet deserve some tender loving care as well. Feet are referred as the foundation of the body, and maintaining them in great condition will have a positive impact on your general wellbeing.
I try to do a daily foot massage to get rid of any tension held in the area, and I make sure to keep the skin moist and subtle. Every day or two, I apply these products to keep my feet happy.Badger Foot Balm Peppermint & Tea Tree – travel size
Starting off with Badger’s foot balm with Peppermint and Tea tree. This alone won’t repair cracked heels, however it revives the feet with the cooling essential oils of Peppermint, Tea tree and rosemary. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, Badger’s balm prevents infections and counteracts odor, which also makes it the perfect companion when you go to the gym or Yoga class. I just massage a nutshell all over my feet, with extra attention te heel and toes to revive my sore and tired feet.
Ingredients: *Olea Europaea (Extra Virgin Olive) Oil, *Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), *Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oil, *Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, *Elettaria Cardamomum (Cardamom) Oil, *Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil, *Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) Oil, and *Abies Balsamea (Balsam Fir) Oil.* = Certified Organic
Narynda Heel Balm*
The second step consists in applying a small coat of Narynda Heel balm. I’m currently testing out several products from this Cambridge-based skincare line, so you’ll hear more about it soon. Narynda’s heel balm is a concentrate of moisture. An unfragranced balm that works wonders to repair dry, cracked skin. The buttery texture is easily absorbed by the skin, and quickly restores the much-needed hydration and elasticity. Among the top ingredients, Cranberry, Chamomille and Olive butters, which were infused in a blend of almond oil and shea butter. If this doesn’t combat dry skin, then I don’t know what does. Rich in fatty acids, and vitamins A and E, this is something I can see myself purchasing every winter to keep my feet in great shape. The perfect thick, emollient treatment for dry, callused areas requiring intensive moisturization.
Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Apis Mellifera, Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Octyl Dodecano, Cera Alba, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Chamaemelum Nobile Extract, Vaccinium Macrocarpon Extract.
A third step would be putting on comfy warm socks and relax 😉
What do you use to keep your feet happy?
Take care,

I like a nice thick balm for my feet in the winter and these sounds good. Currently I'm using Chilly B and I haven't tried Badger or Narynda 🙂
Oh Chilly B sounds great, let me know if you try any of these 🙂 xx
Nice thick balm for me too 🙂 I love the Gaia Creams and Mulondon foot creams!<3 xx
Yay for thick balms! Oh I love both brands, only tried MuLondon's foot cream, have to try the one from Gaia, usually her creams are so rich that I use any of her creams for the whole body as well 🙂 xx
I think you would love the gaia creams foot balm! I also massage my feet most nights, I think people tend to neglec this part of the body, but they work so hard every day! I always have the badger one in the house, it's just so convenient for travelling. Xx
I'll have a closer look at Gaia. I agree, feet deserve more tender loving care for all their hard work 🙂 xx
Hi Liz,
I surprisingly have a pretty similar routine but involves Burt's Bees' Foot Cream – that stuff is so goopy and luxurious, I love popping on socks and letting it soak in properly too. I only do it weekly as it's so rich!
