This year, we have seen numerous brands and designers embrace cruelty-free policies. Designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Jean Paul Gaultier (to name just a few) have vowed to go fur-free. Now, luxury brand Chanel has banned the use of fur and exotic skins, including crocodile, lizard, snake and stingray, from its collections.

Creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, told WWD, “There is a problem of supply and that was not Chanel’s business anyway. We did it because it’s in the air, but it’s not an air people imposed to us. It’s a free choice.”

It will be interesting to see which brands follow in Chanel’s shoes.

10 Foot Masks and Treatments Because Your Feet Are Killing You

Aveda

Foot Relief Moisturizing Creme, $24 at Nordstrom

This is one of our personal gold standards when it comes to must-have foot relief. Exfoliating fruit acids help soften rough skin while peppermint oil and tea tree oil cool and invigorate. Feet are softer, skin is smoother, muscles are less painful and everything is better.

Plant Apothecary

Super Soak Organic Healing Bath, $28 at Nordstrom

We love a good natural solution to our problems and this organic bath product is a dream come true: organic mustard draws heat increases circulation so lactic acid buildup in the muscles can drain away while eucalyptus delivers sweet relief. Half a cup in your bath will do it, and after soaking for 20 minutes you can rinse and feel like a whole new person.

Mama Mio

Lucky Legs Cooling Leg Gel, $21 at Mama Mio

Designed for the sore legs of mothers, this incredibly refreshing gel combines aloe vera, menthol, chamomile, spearmint and yarrow for immediate cooling relief and revitalization. This is a must-have for holiday travel, especially with a non-stop schedule like yours.

L'Occitane

Shea Butter Foot Cream, $12 at L'Occitane

Shea butter is a gift for beat feet and this nourishing foot cream is packed with it. Along with lavender and arnica essential oils, it hydrates and provides much-needed relief. Plus, this small tube is great on the go: the holiday season isn't over yet and there's a LOT more walking to do.

The Body Shop

Peppermint Reviving Pumice Foot Scrub, $8.40 at The Body Shop

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for aching feet is to stimulate the blood flow back into those tired muscles (high heels are murder this way). This refreshing foot scrub combines exfoliating volcanic rock granules and community-trade cooling peppermint essential oil to reinvigorate those beaten feet while it removed hard skin, leaving you smoother, happier and refreshed.

Bliss

Aloe Leaf & Peppermint Foot Cream, $10 at Ulta

From the legendary spa company that brought pampering to the masses comes another genius product: a foot cream that refreshes with cooling peppermint while it combines aloe and alpha hydroxy acids to soften rough skin and smooth the surface of your feet. Rough, dry skin will be a thing of the past, and you'll be back on your feet in no time.

Starskin

Magic Hour, $15 at Barneys New York

Just can't wait to get out of your shoes and into your favorite cozy socks? Well, then, may we suggest you take it up a notch with this ingenious foot mask/sock combination that not only soothes your tired, aching feet but also exfoliates and nourishes them as well? Get rid of callouses and dead skin and refresh tired muscles while you Netflix and — well, whatever takes 60-90 minutes while they work. Dead skin will slough off over the next few days, leaving you with sweet relief and smoother feet in no time.

Gehwol Med

Salve for Cracked Skin, $23 at Dermstore

This company is pretty singularly focused on the health and welfare of the feet, which means they truly knew what they were doing when they designed this soothing combination of skin-loving oils and medicated soaps. This is for feet that have truly had it, designed to reduce inflammation and restore skin that is severely dry and rough to the point of cracking. This salve is sweet relief, and we love it.

Elemis

Tea Tree SOS Spray, $40 at Dermstore

Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic, which comes in handy if you have a cut or abrasion or, to be honest, if your legs and feet are killing you. Packed with active botanicals, this spray not only acts as a natural foot deodorant and disinfectant but can help alleviate the bacteria that cause body acne. Cool, refreshed feet AND a clearer body complexion? Sign us up.

Dr. Teal's

Pure Epsom Salt Therapeutic Soak, $4.97 at Walmart

In the end, there's pretty much no better remedy for sore muscles and aching limbs than a soak in good, old-fashioned Epsom salt. The magnesium sulfate really helps relieve muscle tension, aches and pains. Dr. Teal's has many varieties of their amazing salts — lavender, eucalyptus and spearmint, pink Himalayan — so feel to experiment, but we always come back to the original that soothes it all.

The holiday hustle is REAL: malls, grocery stores, the post office, picking up and dropping off, holiday parties and events, the hunt for the right gift for that hard-to-shop-for person (last year was brutal) — you’re up and at ’em pretty much until New Year’s Day. This means by the time you put all those miles on your sweet little feet, they’re really, really mad at you. We’re talking aches and pains that seem to run all the way up and down your legs through your toes and back again. Ouch.

Which is why it seemed like the right time to create a list of our favorite foot and leg treatments for your poor, tired, aching tootsies. Take a load off and sink into some of these soothing creams and salves that will soothe both your soul and your battered soles.

Why Is This Facial Treatment Essence on Every A-Lister’s Dresser?

Does It Have It All?

If you go to SK-II's official site, you can learn a lot more about pitera and what it really does. It is a lightweight, clear formula with 50 micronutrients to condition your skin. It prevents spots, reduces fine lines and thanks to its watery texture, can be worn under makeup without making your skin greasy.

Get Ready for Some Evenness

An even skin tone is the hardest to achieve. Even if our skin has cleared up and we have a porcelain glow, we still need several products to achieve consistent color. The Facial Treatment Essence gives you an even tone and better texture so you'll be less dependent on other products.

It's Every Go-Getter's Secret

The Facial Treatment Essence is key to your nighttime beauty ritual, but you will also find that it preps your skin for almost anything. Chloë Grace Moretz, one of the brand's ambassadors, swears by the essence and uses it as a prepping product. You can use it like a primer, but most importantly, use it if you plan to wear some heavy makeup or if you need several touch-ups throughout the day.

How Can You Use It?

The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence isn't really a substitute for a toner or serum, but meant to work along with them. Just take two to three drops in your hand after you have cleaned and toned your face. Massage it over your face and neck. The formula is almost like water so it's very convenient. Do not use it after moisturizers, serums or setting sprays.

If you’ve been binge-watching all the A-lister beauty routines on YouTube, you’ve probably noticed a tall, opaque bottle on each of their dressers. And we couldn’t help but wonder, what is this curious “miracle water” that seems to be a hit with almost every celeb, from Kate Bosworth to Chloë Grace Moretz?

As you know, skin care essences are huge right now. They are less concentrated than serums and can be used after toner for an added layer of hydration. The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, which has become an essential part of every celeb’s beauty regimen, is made of over 90 percent pitera — basically a combination of amino acids, essential oils and organic acids. It’s the signature ingredient in SK-II’s essence.

The essence is not just an anti-aging wonder, it also aids in skin renewal and gives an amazingly smooth texture and blemish-free skin. It leaves your skin so refreshed and glowing that you won’t need any filter on Instagram. Dianna Agron, for instance, preps her skin with the Facial Treatment Essence before her shoots and calls it the holy grail. “Gets your skin just really glowy, dewy, hydrated,” she explained in a Vogue video.

You can buy the Facial Treatment Essence on SK-II’s official site for $179.
