I’m the kind of girl never chooses the practical footwear option, can be seen tottering down the street in gravity defying skyscraper heels, and I walk everywhere in the name of fitness. These are choices that my poor feet would probably rather I didn’t make, as it means nights of soothing aches and pains and contending with hard, cracked skin. Definitely not a good look.

So you can imagine my joy when a nicely wrapped little parcel containing Grandma Vine’s Instant Comfort Foot Balm dropped through my letterbox. I even let out a little joyful squeal. Known for using ethically sourced, environmentally friendly and bio-degradable ingredients, Grandma Vine’s is a beauty force to be reckoned with. The range includes hand cream, body lotion, antiseptic gel and foot balm, all of which are free from harsh chemicals and colourings and have not been tested on animals. Grandma Vine’s products are especially good for sensitive skin and suitable for all ages, from babies to grandmas, no pun intended.

The Instant Comfort Foot Balm promises to be helpful for foot problems such as Eczema and Dermatitis, as well as dry, chapped and hard skin. Just what I needed. The balm contains a cocktail of goodness in the form of peppermint, rosemary and lavender oils to cool and relieve sore, tired feet. Sweet almond oil also is included to ensure that feet are excellently moisturised and hard skin build up is a thing of the past. The balm also contains natural antiseptic properties to banish foot and nail conditions. All this as well as leaving my feet fresh and tingling, and smelling gorgeous to boot. My feet have finally been saved. Hallelujah.

Grandma Vine’s Instant Comfort Foot Balm costs £4.88 per 100ml. All products can be bought at www.lifeplan.co.uk
