If you’ve spent the last year with your legs wrapped in loungewear and your toes shoved in slippers, the idea of peeling back the layers and getting holiday-ready may feel even more of a momentous task this year. Whilst we’re firm believers that every body is beach body ready, you may be thinking about a few rounds of seasonal exfoliating, moisturising and prettifying before heading off on hols. If so, we have some ruthlessly effective as well as some simply beautifying foot and leg products up our sleeves that will give your pins a boost before hitting the beach.

Patchology

The insulated booties use the body’s own heat to accelerate the intense moisturising effects, leaving toes silky, conditioned and sandal-ready. Buy it here.
