Relaxing pamper treats?

In the same way we reach for a face mask when our complexion needs some TLC, feet also benefit from a treatment that delivers high levels of nourishing and hydrating ingredients. Patchology’s heel and foot mask ($15) has shea butter, coconut oil and plant extracts and takes 10 minutes. Podiatrists recommend washing feet twice daily with an antimicrobial formula. WE LOVE: Saba Organics Hand Wash Bergamot & Olive Leaf, $9.95.

Q Do our feet get bigger as we age?

A: “No,” says Sydney-based podiatrist Charlotte Bodell. “When you have bare feet or wear unsupportive shoes like thongs or slippers, the muscles in your arch are not being exercised so the foot attens. It might seem like it’s grown, but really your foot muscles are weak.” Strengthen them with simple arch crunch exercises: Sit with foot at on the oor and scrunch up your toes so you increase your arch. Repeat several times. Follow with single and double calf raises, which help strengthen feet too. And wear structured shoes more often.
