Some of my birthday gifts definitely had a foot care theme! I received a voucher for a pedicure at my nearest Spa which I cannot wait for! It's booked for the morning I'm off on holiday so I'm going to have pretty feet for Turkey. I also received this lovely gift set from my brother and his girlfriend.
I just adore the Peppermint foot stuff from the Body Shop! I love the scent and the fact that the products actually on work on my feet. The only product I hadn't tried in here was the foot scrub, all others I've used previously.
It's available from The Body Shop and comes in an adorable metal carry case. I'm going to have to find a use for it, it's going to be useful for something! You get mini sizes of the products in this set, but all are available for sale in larger sizes.
-Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray - I've had a lot of bottles of this over the years. It smells fantastic (like the rest of the Peppermint line) and really does cool your feet down when you spray it on. That's probably due to the evaporation of alcohol, rather than the peppermint. Alcohol is the first ingredient in this and it does come with a flammable warning. Still, this has been fantastic for hot shopping trips or after walking the dog. A quick drink and spray with this stuff and my feet feel so much better!
-Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion - I don't really find this cooling on my feet. It does a great job of moisturising after I've exfoliated my feet. I normally slather this on then pop some socks on for a couple of hours. I get nice smooth feet for a couple of days. And the peppermint smell is delicious.
-Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub - This little pot is only going last me two more applications at most. Smells amazing, really sharp peppermint. Didn't do anything for the really bad parts of my feet at all. I just use this around the arches and balls of my feet rather than my heel. My feet feel a little oily after rinsing. I had a quick look online at the ingredients and it looks like there is plenty of oil in this. Might try it on my elbows next. Pumice is the second ingredient in this so if your feet aren't as bad as mine then this might exfoliate quite nicely for you.
In this set you also get a pair of toe dividers (I'm sure you can work out how to use those), a mini foot file (the wood is birch, in case you were wondering) and a massager. I've got a larger version of the foot file, which I love! The coarse side is rough enough to remove my thickened dry skin. I'm not sure about the massager. I think you're supposed to put it on the floor and run your foot over the top. I must just be hideously uncoordinated as I keep managing to shoot it in all directions when I try that.
This is described as a kit to help with beach ready feet. Add an industrial sander and I think we're pretty much there.
Those sound good! :) Perhaps you should try to roll the massager v. slowly and perhaps sitting down, it might help (unless of course you were already doing it this way, in which case I have no suggestions. :)
ReplyDeleteI have the old school version of that set... and I loved it! For whatever the reason though, I didn't use the lotion as much (I had other ones I guess). I tried using it recently on my arms and it made me break out :( So sad. I guess I'm allergic to something in it.
ReplyDeleteAdd a Ped Egg and you're good to go! The concept is gross but does the job!
