SOLVE STILETTO PAIN
Fashion lovers will welcome a new product designed to stop the pain and discomfort of wearing high heels before it starts. Still Standing Spray features menthol for cooling, and arnica and aloe which have natural anti-inflammatory properties, to keep feet feeling good. Spray the top, sides and bottoms of each foot and allow to dry before stepping into your heels. The relief lasts from one-and-a-half hours to four hours. Carry the purse size version with you for touch ups. Of course, the spray only works if your shoes are the proper size. Get Still Standing for $20-$28 (depending on the size) at StillStandingSpray.com.
HAND SMOOTHER
Hands stay smooth with the new Cake Heavy Cream Intensive Hand Repair Balm. The cream contains 20 percent pure shea butter as well as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, green tea extract and more. The repair balm offers intensive moisture but is lightweight. It was created to address the dryness experienced by many Canadians during the winter months. Free of parabens, GMOs, mineral oil, petroleum and other questionable ingredients, the balm smells like vanilla and costs $22 at Ulta.com and Cakebeauty.com.
STARTER OIL FOR SKIN
Darphin is known for their skin-transforming oils, particularly the 8-Flower Nectar Essential Oil Elixir introduced in 2007. Now they have created the 8-Flower Nectar Oil Cream, a night cream that features the same infusion of botanicals in the elixir but in a hybrid oil-cream formula. The cream works with your body's temperature to melt into skin while you sleep, leaving skin softer and smoother. It is a great first step for anyone looking to incorporate skin oils in their skincare routine. It costs $135 at Darphin.com.
