| Start spring with beautiful legs and feet
Hamburg - Out of sight, out of mind: while our hands typically get washed and moisturized every day, care for our feet and legs tends to be an afterthought. This is especially true in the cold-weather months when thick socks and heavy shoes are the rule and keep the feet and legs well concealed. But once winter is over, the legs and feet look uncared for. Short skirts and open shoes expose the dry patches, bothersome cellulite and fungus skin. When these conditions occur, it's high time for a special beauty treatment to tackle the problem, and aesthetics is not the only reason to do. "Regular foot care also prevents many tough problems," said Mechthild Geismann of the German association of podiatrists and clinicians who offer foot care. Britta John of Germany's Beauty Alliance, an association of perfumeries, said foot care should occur on a weekly basis and it should include trimming the nails and cuticles, removal of calluses and an application of moisturizer.

Aesop: Fabled beauty
Aesop is one of those beauty brands that however big it gets, you feel you've discovered it. It's not nearly as small as it may seem – at least not in the Southern Hemisphere, where it has 11 stores in Australia. There are a further nine in Asia, a year-old boutique in Paris and another opening shortly in London's Mayfair. And yet, crucially, it still feels like a little gem of a beauty line – full of life-changing skin care, body care and hair care that really delivers. Catherine Deneuve took Yves Saint Laurent for a swing round Aesop's New York store; they are just two of the many high-profile fans of the line. Angela Creasy is the buyer who seized on Aesop and brought it to Liberty at the end of 2006, where it has subsequently flourished. "An innate and genuine interest in a variety of cultural topics has helped define this cult beauty brand," Creasy says.
