Botox Madness

Wednesday May 26, 2004

Have we gone mad? Women are getting the balls of their feet injected with collagen, Restylane and Botox, according to the latest issue of Time. The extra cushioning and loss of feeling makes it possible to walk around for hours in super-high, super-pointy Manolos!

If you have that kind of money to lavish on your feet, better to try The Institute Beaute's $225 "foot facial" in NYC. It starts with a salt scrub but quickly moves on to high-tech treatments usually reserved for the face -- a glycolic-acid peel, microdermabrasion and intensive tissue-repair cream.

Or for $10, do-it-yourselfers can get Burt's Bees foot-care kit, with Coconut foot creme, a pumice stone and little yellow socks.
