Showcase 62 | October 2012 www.womanthismonth.com Smooth Soles GULF PHARMACY Correct foot care is often brushed aside; keep your feet looking and feeling youthful and healthy by tending to them regularly with medicallyapproved products. Now available at Gulf Pharmacy is the Flexitol range. The therapeutic products soothe dry skin with unique formulas that are non-irritating and medically proven. The Heel Balm is one of the range’s most widely-recognised products and is ideal for anyone who suffers from cracked heels and generally dry feet — a common occurrence in this part of the world due to the heat. The market leader contains 25 per cent urea in a highly concentrated, moisturising and non-greasy emollient base to soften feet. The combination of the ingredients actively replenishes moisture deep below the surface of the skin, prompting a visibly healthier skin in just three days of application leaving you with soft and smooth feet. Free of SLS and Parabens, the formula is enriched with pro-Vitamin B5 and L-Arginine, and enhanced with exfoliating properties. Many healthcare professionals use the balm to treat various skincare ailments. The product is widely used and recommended by diabetes specialists, podiatrists and practice nurses. Podiatrists use the balm to encourage careful foot care in diabetics, as studies have shown that 50 per cent of all amputations occur in people with diabetes, many of which could have been prevented by better circulation in the feet. The Flexitol range is available in all major pharmacies. Call 17 877-107. A Quick Fix JOZ SALON & SPA If you don’t always have the time to sit in a salon for hours, there are plenty of speedy solutions to maintaining a groomed and glam appearance without breaking the bank. When busy, pampering is usually the first thing that ladies sacrifice. For such women, beauty routines have to be streamlined and simple, which is why Joz Salon & Spa offers a comprehensive list of treatments which are both speedy and affordable. Special 30-minute spa treatments, such as massages and facials are readily available, plus there are plenty of other choices. “When busy ladies do make it to the spa, we can advise the best spa treatments to spend your hard-earned money on,” states spa owner Nawal Joz. “Shellac manicures and pedicures are great as the varnish stays on for two weeks regardless of the chores you need to complete,” explains Nawal. Another ideal treatment to indulge in is reflexology and a foot massage. “Running around after kids can be traumatic on the hands, feet and back, so these treatments are perfect for relieving tension and providing a quick sense of rejuvenation,” Nawal advises. If your hair needs a bit of TLC, try the Kerastraight hair treatment which will make you look like you are salonfresh everyday and will last up to four months. Also available are eyelash and eyebrow tinting; “These will achieve the look of wearing mascara without having to apply makeup daily,” confirms Nawal. “Or, for a more glamorous look, try permanent eyelash curling or semipermanent eyelash extensions,” she adds.
