Attention ALL:
Ballet Dancers (professional and pre-professional) Students, Artistic Directors, Studio Owners, Ballet Mistress, Choreographers
As a dancer, it’s never to early to take serious care of your feet. Seventy five percent of all dancers will experience foot problems during their training and career. The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles, and numerous tendons.
One way to avoid all of the common foot problems that most dancers experience is to train the dancer to take care of their feet now…to ensure a longer dance career in the future.
Every dancer should be massaging their feet daily, and using a soap bar that is designed specifically for their feet. The Gourmet Soap Chef has designed foot soap bars specifically for ballet dancers. Four primary essential oils that all dancers should use in their soap is peppermint, olive oil, lemon and eucalyptus.
Why?…because peppermint has antibacterial properties that will keep foot odor under control. Olive oil is another important property for your feet because olive oil moisturizes rough dry skin. Lemon essential oil is an astringent, and keeps bacteria under control especially in toe shoes and male ballet dance shoes. Eucalyptus essential oil is great because it boasts anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities as a topically applied liniment ingredient.
Using the above essential oil soaps will definitely help your foot problems, and totally eliminate bacteria and athletics foot problems. The Gourmet Soap Chef offers 4 types of foot soap bars for the dancer, or anyone that is experiencing foot problems.
