What the experts say...

“Daily massage of the legs and feet will increase muscle tone, thin the leg area and relax the mind and body. Feet have a great many pressure points and a little massage will go a long way. Use a rich foot cream or mask and cover with hot face cloths or wrap feet in plastic bags or cling film to increase moisture absorption.”
L’Occitane skincare specialist, Nichola Joss
