The holiday season can be an exciting yet chaotic time of year. Spending hours on your feet while shopping, cooking or entertaining can not only cause you to feel exhausted, but can also wreak havoc on your feet. It’s easy to forget about your feet and underestimate their importance. However, feet are the foundation of the body and contain 33 muscles, 26 bones and 7,000 nerves alone, so it’s important to find relief and give them some serious tender love and care.
One of the best ways to take care of your feet is to set aside time for a massage. Whether you massage your own feet or schedule a professional massage, it is a way to manage anxiety, reduce stress, improve circulation and keep your feet happy. During the harsh winter months, it’s also important to keep your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed by using a sugar foot scrub. Although we often spend the holidays trying to keep our sugar cravings at bay, it can actually be beneficial to our skin during this time of year when skin needs to be repaired.
Sugar enhances skincare products and provides many benefits, unlike salt, which dehydrates the skin. Sugar serves as a natural exfoliator, is naturally hydrating and contains properties that soothe and smooth for a more refreshing experience. Sugar foot scrubs can be found at many nail salons, beauty retailers and at Massage Envy Spa.
In fact, this holiday season, Massage Envy Spa is offering a complimentary Black Friday special to help rejuvenate tired shoppers and keep feet moving for the biggest shopping day of the year. On Friday, Nov. 29, Massage Envy Spa clinics will be providing free 10-minute Sugar Foot Scrub Therapy sessions.
Massage Envy Spa’s Sugar Foot Scrub Therapy is a perfect way to treat tired feet as it naturally hydrates and nourishes the skin. The winter weather can take a major toll on your feet, but the Sugar Foot Scrub can smooth away rough spots and drench dry skin to create the ultimate therapeutic massage experience. It also helps smooth and protect feet, sooth foot pain and discomfort and refreshes arches, toes and the heel.
Massage Envy Spa’s partner, Bon Vital, helped formulate the sugar foot scrub, which features fortified sugar with jojoba, olive and safflower oils, and lavender essential oil. The formula contains extra fine sugar granules and less oil than a typical sugar foot scrub, allowing for easier absorption into the skin.
The scrub cleans and exfoliates, removes dead skin cells, and soothes the surface of the skin while stimulating lymph flow and increasing circulation. Following the sugar scrub, a whipped Bon Vital Body Butter, which is blended with cocoa butter, Shea butter, beeswax and lavender oil, is also applied to add a hydrating protective layer to the freshly scrubbed skin.
This year, be sure to keep your feet happy and healthy so you can focus on enjoying the holidays. FBN
