Ithink most people are guilty of neglecting their feet during winter. Mine tend to get quite dry, so the extra e ort involved in taking care of them often falls to the bottom of my priority list when I’m in boots instead of sandals. That being said, if I don’t keep up my routine, I tend to su er from cracked heels and calluses. So I’m always on the lookout for low-e ort products that actually deliver. Callen Olive’s Foot Sole and Heel Saviour Balm definitely falls into this category. A lightweight cream that isn’t greasy, it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling instantly moisturised. It’s made from 96% naturally derived ingredients, containing hydrogenated castor oil and provitamin B5 to protect and nourish the skin. The range is the brainchild of Maggie Trevillion, founder of multi-award winning podiatry clinic ‘Walk This Way Podiatry’. After a chat with Trevillion’s expert team, I am advised to exfoliate my feet first to get rid of the dryness and cracked skin. Then, after a shower or bath, to massage the balm into all areas of my foot. I’ve been using it for several weeks now and I’m finding I need to use my foot file less and less. My feet feel much more hydrated, the skin is softer and seems to be more resilient to cracking. I couldn’t recommend this balm more, and I can already tell it’s going to become a must-have in my year-round foot care routine.

Myopia Management at The Eye Place

Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is when distant objects appear blurred due to the axial elongation of the eyeball, the eye getting longer, and usually develops in childhood. Noticing symptoms in children can be difficult as they may not realise their vision is abnormal.
