A Love Story About Hands and Feet

Ever wondered about your hands and feet?

Would your life have been different without the hands that raised a family, cooked the meals, labored in workforce, played with children, lifted up those in need, prayed to God, bandaged up an injury or wiped away a tear? Would your life have been different without the feet that brought your smiles and joy to a neighbor, friend, co-worker, or stranger, that rocked your children during their midnight cries, that chased balls and dogs across fields or that led you to your wedding altar? Yes, friends, you have much for which little is asked in return. In reality we don’t pay much attention to them until they hurt or are not fully functional.  

Hands and feet are often the most neglected part of the body. Even though skin on the soles of the feet is much thicker than the rest of the body, people can have number of issues due to wearing wrong footwear or simply lifestyle. 

In addition to constant use our hands for everything, due to the challenging times, we are washing our hands so much more. Top that with alcohol-based hand sanitizers and you get rough, cracked and irritated skin, a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, germs and can be quite painful.  

My Facial Treatments are custom, and I incorporate foot and hand care in each treatment! They provide instant gratification and relief and make for happy clients. 

I use several options. Usually start with left arm for ladies, using warm wet towel. Depending on a client’s skin condition and personality, and what they convey I choose one of the body oils or cream and give the massage. Hand therapy ends with compression of warm dry towel and several drops of essential oils and compression. Same with feet. With gents I start with right arm.  

I offer two different enhancements for hand and foot care in a treatment room. Clients can also purchase foot and hand products for home use. Foot Peel is a luxurious in-home or spa service pedicure treatment that removes hardened, callused skin from the feet in just one very easy application making feel smooth and healthy. The fastest, most effective way to get softer, callus free feet! Suitable for man and women. 

Winter is a great time to correct any issues and get ready for sandals and spring weather. To help keep your body skin in best condition I encourage dry brushing. I often talk about it on my social media (Facebook, Instagram). Exfoliation gloves, brushes, and some form of exfoliation scrubs and moisturizing products should be incorporated to your body rituals. And then there are peels to help improve hyperpigmentation, keratosis pilaris, or address any other common issues.
