Beauty buzz: for beautiful feet
Get your feet sandal-ready for the summer
Chanel's Le Vernis Nail Colour (HK$190/13ml) collection now features five playful colours, which look great worn alone or mixed and matched. While Sweet Lilac (pale violet), Pink Tonic (fuchsia), Tutti Frutti (coral) and Mirabella (pop orange) are all eye-catching, Eastern Light (opaque white) is handy for layering or creating a chic French manicure look.
Acca Kappa's Green Mandarin Foot Cream (HK$190/100ml) is a light treatment infused with apricot kernel oil and blueberry extract, which are said to have reconstructive and hydrating properties. The inclusion of menthol gives a cooling sensation while the scent of Mediterranean citrus fruit reinvigorates the senses. For the best results, massage the cream into the skin in a circular motion twice a day.
Neal's Yard Remedies' Pumice Foot Scrub (HK$245/75 grams) helps get rid of dry, hard skin, thanks to exfoliating ingredients peach seed and pumice. Softening mallow and cleansing ginger mint work to keep feet smooth and refreshed. Made in Britain, the scrub doesn't contain undesirables such as EDTA and parabens.
Talika's Feet Therapy Socks (HK$788 a pair) should slip easily onto the feet of busy - or lazy - individuals. Lined with a gel-like coating, the socks can be used up to 40 times to nourish and soften skin without compromising mobility. Active ingredients include ceramide III, vitamin E and avocado, olive, jojoba, canola and grapeseed oils. Simply slip the socks on to clean feet and leave on for no less than 20 minutes.
