Love it: Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Foot & Heel Cream

With all of the craziness and stress in my world of late I’ve come to appreciate the ‘art of taking time out’ so much more. Even if I can’t get to (or I’ll admit, afford) a spa or the like most of the time, I’m all about regular self care and the added beauty benefits that it can sometimes bring.

Taking care of my feet is a big one for me, and up there with regular facials when it comes to spa-at-home type treats. I love a good foot-centric product that feels amazing and actually works, with genuine transformative properties as well as a great smell. I frequently file my heels, oil my cuticles and lather on foot cream all year round, but it’s during summer when you get to actually reap the benefits! With that in mind may I present my latest foot loving favourite: Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Foot & Heel Cream.

Pretty much like a super nourishing anti-ageing treat for the feet, Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Foot & Heel Cream is an advanced formulation specifically designed to deliver feet and heels with deep, intense hydration. Packed full of powerful natural ingredients including UMF 18+ Manuka Honey (an ingredient for which the company is rather obviously known), hydrating Avocado Oil, super nourishing Shea Butter and Beeswax, the indulgent, rich but easily absorbed cream works with the skin to instantly boost moisture levels and re-energise dry and tired skin, as well as improve cracked heels. In addition to these key active ingredients, skin-soothing peppermint is in there to add a cooling element that makes it a great idea during the summer months. 

All Manuka Doctor products are dermatologically tested but never on animals, and contain no parabens or SLS, and no harsh preservatives, just the good stuff! Oh and it goes without saying that Manuka Doctor products should not be used by people allergic to bee stings… for the obvious reasons!

It’s a little hot for these kind of shenanigans at the moment, but for intense hydration and a real feet treat, apply before sleep and pop a pair of socks on top, leaving the formula to soak in overnight for a true spa-like treatment. 

Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Foot & Heel Cream clocks in at a very reasonable $19.75 for a 75ml tube, and is available online or at The Manuka Doctor concept store, 1 Quay Street, Auckland City, selected Farmers department stores, selected pharmacies and department stores nationwide.  For more information or to locate your nearest stockist visit www.manukadr.co.nz or phone 09 300-3025.
