Foot Massages

To pamper dry, post-winter feet by massaging them with a nourishing cream. Do this just before you go to bed, to allow a moisture-rich, specialist foot cream to be fully absorbed. Apply it over your ankles, and right up to the knees.

Use large, circular, sweeping movements, starting at the knees and working right down to the tops of the feet, and then back up again.

Taking each foot in turn, spend a few moments gently massaging the soles of your feet. Create a little friction, to boost the circulation, by placing your thumbs horizontally — so that they face each other — a few centimeters apart. Then, gently push your thumbs together and apart, repeatedly, working across the whole foot.

Next, use the same technique to massage the tops of the feet gently – including the toes (starting at the base and working up to the nail).

Follow the friction massage with large, kneading movements on the sole of each foot. Finally, repeat the long, sweeping movements from the knees to the tops of the feet.

Don’t: neglect your toenails. It’s a good idea to massage a moisturizing foot cream into the cuticles of the nails regularly, as this encourages healthy nail growth.
