Bare Winter Suddenly Was Changed To Spring…
(The Question, Shelley)

Spring is here at last. We’re exchanging heavy winter coats for lighter jackets and hunting out our sandals. The fashion pages already feature this season’s strappy summer shoes. Time to give your weary winter feet a spring treat.

Rub lightly with Malka’s Pumice Soap. Plunge your feet into a warm footbath scented with a teaspoonful of Malka bath crystals. Relax and soak your feet while you listen to music or read a book. Remove any rough skin with a pumice stone. Rinse and dry. Slather on your favourite hand and body cream to moisturise and soften skin ready for those summer sandals.

Feet tired from standing all day? Wipe them with a warm, damp flannel, spritz with Rose Water Toner, and massage with Arnica Cream. (A footbath or a foot massage also helps improve poor circulation. Some of our customers with diabetes tell us they use Arnica Cream to stimulate circulation.)

To treat tinea, add half a cup of cider vinegar to your footbath. Then massage and moisturise with either Tea Tree Cream, Lemon Myrtle or Lavender hand & body cream.

Malka Bath Crystals are mineral salts infused with essential oils: Pink Pamper with bergamot, sweet orange, rose geranium, rose, and lime; Seaweed Detox with grapefruit, rose geranium, cypress, clary sage, juniper berry, and lemon; Soak with lavender, patchouli and vetiver; and Forestial with mandarin, fir and patchouli.

Malka Hand and Body Creams
According to herbalists, tea tree and lemon myrtle oils have antiseptic and antifungal properties. Using either Malka’s Arnica or Tea Tree Creams or our Lemon Myrtle Hand and Body Cream will not only moisturise and soothe winter weary feet, but also protect them as well.

Handmade from all-natural ingredients and scented with pure essential oils. Made fresh and preserved with natural anti-oxidants. We recommend use of the creams within twelve weeks of opening.

And Just a Note About Our Soaps…
Being handmade and hand cut creates variations in the shape and size of our soaps and they are often cut to a larger size to allow for further curing after wrapping.
