Preen your pins and stand out from the crowd

A new survey* reveals that over 60% of us dislike our legs and would prefer to have the limbs of Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss, Elle MacPherson or Victoria Beckham. Research carried out by Arnicare shows that just 3% of us think of our legs during our beauty regime, and this may explain why only 7% of women are proud of their pins.

As the sun comes out, panic strikes! 31% of us will cover up our legs, particularly if we have bruises, but this is the last thing we want to do in summer. Respondents highlight bruises as one of the top tarnishers for legs, along with cellulite and dry skin. So don’t let your pins put you to shame this summer, release their star quality with Arnicare.

Specially formulated, Arnicare Arnica Cooling Gel combines the natural benefits of arnica with refreshing grapefruit oil and menthol to cool and soothe. It is ideal to soothe aching muscles after exercise or a long hot day on your feet and is non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin.

Arnica has been developed with the 100% natural alpine flower Arnica Montana; arnica is one of the most popular herbal remedies in the UK. Proven to be an effective treatment for bruising, a study published in The Pharmaceutical Journal**confirms one of the many natural healing properties of arnica.

Nelsons Arnicare Arnica Cooling Gel is priced at £4.45 for 30g and is available from pharmacies and health food stores nationwide. See arnicare.co.uk for more information.
