Kate and Lisa went to trial a treatment at the Amida Spa at David Lloyd Leisure in Hampton.
The treatment we were treated to is called Footlogix™ Footfixx. The treatment, we were told, would be like a facial for the feet – sounded intriguing!
New to the UK, Footlogix is a new range of professional and spa retail products for the feet. Amida Spa offer both the professional spa treatment plus the take home maintenance mousses. We met with the brand spokesman Alicia Mitchell (who holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Podology-feet) and were shown how the products work. Originally from Canada, the treatment involves a step by step process for improving the wellness and hydration of feet.
Our feet were assessed to begin with and our hydration was tested. Hydration should be around 30% within the feet and mine were found to be well below that. We had our feet soaked in a concentrate that includes 10% urea and aloe vera. (Please note the urea is synthetic and has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties!)
Our feet were then sprayed with Footlogix Callous Softener and were filed and all the hard skin was removed – nice! Having never been for a pedicure before this was rather enlightening and once they had been covered in the Dry Skin Mousse they felt wonderful. All the products in the range allow the skin to breathe and use ‘Dermal Integration Technology’ that means the products are absorbed into the skin and leave it hydrated.
We learnt a lot about our feet in the session due to Alicia’s vast foot knowledge. We learnt just how badly ballet pumps have damaged our feet and the importance of keeping our feet hydrated. The treatment was fantastic and we are ready to don our flip flops for summer and show off our smooth feet!
Pampered feet
