If you're grossed out by feet or don't
do home pedicures...this post may not be for you! However, those of
you who are interested in this topic, I'm excited to review some
products I have recently discovered for one of my favorite summertime
beauty routines!
It's summertime, which means exposed
feet. To me that's always a double edged sword – the freedom of
the air and sunshine on my toes, but also, dealing with my dry feet.
I have extremely dry heels and get dry patches all over my soles and
toes. I used to get pedicures regularly but as of late have been
figuring out how to save the money and do them at home.
I've been a user of Ped-Egg, Pumice
stones and files for years. They are all good for removing the
roughest, deadest skin but when it comes down to removing that last
rough layer of skin, I've always felt like I needed something more.
That's where this product comes in. It
is a thick lotion that you work into your dry skin that actually
makes the skin flake or “slough” off.
I actually picked up the Gena Pedi Care Sloughing Lotion by chance – I was looking for something really
thick and creamy, and had used Burt's Bees peppermint lotion before.
I drawn to this one at Sally's Beauty because of the peppermint oil
ingredient. I don't know if I even noticed it was a sloughing lotion
when I bought it.
The first few times I used it, I didn't
notice the sloughing factor, but then I read some Amazon reviews and
noticed that most people said to apply it to dry skin. So I tried it
on dry skin and it worked like a charm! It really does make the dead
skin just peel away. You have to apply a good amount of it and
really work it into the skin. I then let it sit for about one minute
before massaging. I would definitely repurchase this lotion. At $7.49 per 8.5 oz bottle, it's reasonably priced for how well the product lasts. A bottle has lasted me two months so far.
The other product I bought with this
was the Warming Exfoliating Scrub. The pumice ingredient is walnut
shell powder, which is very fine but hard enough to be a good
exfoliate. The bottle says that the warming ingredient is Macadamia Nut Oil, and it truly does warm. It makes your feet
feel so relaxed, like a warming massage oil. The oiliness
combined with the pumice really makes my feet feel soft after using
it. I absolutely love using this product. Again, this is $7.49 at Sally's and it's for sure something I will treat myself to again.
Following up the lotion and scrub with a foot soak and a slathering of lotion is a great daily routine for me and helps me wake up with reasonably soft feet.
I'd love to hear home pedicure tips from you! I feel like feet are a less glamorous part of beauty that we tend to neglect, but it's so important this time of year! This blog will be mostly fashion, but I do love my beauty routines and will be sharing more reviews and thoughts on products in the future.
