Happy feet

I swear, every now and then, you and I are on exactly the same page at exactly the same time. Take yesterday for example, beavering my way through a pile of Ask us questions – the service whereby I’m at your beauty beck and call, searching high and low for answers to your cosmetic conundrums – I read that poor Fiona was fighting a losing battle with blisters.

Preventative products:

Sally Hansen Healing Foot Crème delivers soothing, moisturising relief in its protection against blisters and calluses. It also quickly relieves dryness and roughness that we all suffer from, but nobody likes to talk about.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly – add a small amount to the part of your shoe that is most likely to rub and this will reduce friction. Did you also know that Vaseline will help your fragrance stay put? Pop a dab on wrists and neck before you spray and sashay – voila, you’ll smell sensational all night.”¨”¨

Cool cures:

Boiron Homeopathic First Aid Single Remedies – these are a godsend for all matter of common complaints. Cantharis will provide relief from blisters and you’ll also be stock-pilled against shock, bruising, allergies, bites, food poisoning, fever and more.

Savlon Antiseptic Cream combines germ-killing power and long-lasting protection in a soothing cream to treat cuts, scratches and blisters so keep a tube about your person at all times.

Nutrimetics Nutri-Clear – this medicated powerhouse was originally formulated to treat problem skin but has a handy side effect, it’s great at curing blisters!
