The holiday hustle is REAL: malls, grocery stores, the post office, picking up and dropping off, holiday parties and events, the hunt for the right gift for that hard-to-shop-for person (last year was brutal) — you're up and at 'em pretty much until New Year's Day. This means by the time you put all those miles on your sweet little feet, they're really, really mad at you. We're talking aches and pains that seem to run all the way up and down your legs through your toes and back again. Ouch.
Which is why it seemed like the right time to create a list of our favorite foot and leg treatments for your poor, tired, aching tootsies. Take a load off and sink into some of these soothing creams and salves that will soothe both your soul and your battered soles.
This is one of our personal gold standards when it comes to must-have foot relief. Exfoliating fruit acids help soften rough skin while peppermint oil and tea tree oil cool and invigorate. Feet are softer, skin is smoother, muscles are less painful and everything is better.
We love a good natural solution to our problems and this organic bath product is a dream come true: organic mustard draws heat increases circulation so lactic acid buildup in the muscles can drain away while eucalyptus delivers sweet relief. Half a cup in your bath will do it, and after soaking for 20 minutes you can rinse and feel like a whole new person.
Designed for the sore legs of mothers, this incredibly refreshing gel combines aloe vera, menthol, chamomile, spearmint and yarrow for immediate cooling relief and revitalization. This is a must-have for holiday travel, especially with a non-stop schedule like yours.
Shea butter is a gift for beat feet and this nourishing foot cream is packed with it. Along with lavender and arnica essential oils, it hydrates and provides much-needed relief. Plus, this small tube is great on the go: the holiday season isn't over yet and there's a LOT more walking to do.
