TRICK OR TREATMENT:
Luxury Paraffin Pedicure at the City Point Club
The promise Silky soft, rejuvenated feet.
The process Paraffn wax isn't a product I'd normally associate with pampering, but there was tea and coffee thrown in, explained my therapist Katie. First came a very pleasant antibacterial bubble soak. Then a green tea scrub soothed and a cappuccino massage revived my end-of-the-day feet. Next was the fun bit: Katie encased my feet in warm, melted paraffin wax and then they were snuggled inside heated bootees for ten minutes. Afterwards, they slid easily out of their wax mould - refreshed and raring to go, but not before my toenails had been painted with vivacious red polish.
The verdict The softest skin ever with a wonderful translucent quality to it. My feet are ready for spring and sandals.
