During the winter months it’s cold outside and the air inside is dry heat. Both of these conditions can wreak havoc on your skin. Your feet should not be neglected just because you may not be wearing sandals the entire season.
In a milder climate where the air is not cold on a daily basis I like Sally Hansen’s “Cracked Heel Foot Lotion”. This is a fairly light cream that can be used just about any time and will produce desired results for feet that are a bit flaky and dry.
Going a step further to make feet even smoother, O.P.I.’s “Green Tea Scrub” is a great exfoliator to prepare the feet for O.P.I.’s “White Tea Massage” lotion for feet. Both products smell great and work well together. O.P.I. has always been a forerunner when it comes to manicures and pedicures. Both products are packed with anti-oxidants and will help repair skin damage.
Another product that works well for feet but, is not necessarily made specifically for the feet is the “Lush” massage bar called “Fever”. This is a bar for the body with a creamy consistency that is intended to be used for massages which is why it’s lightly scented with sandalwood, rose, and jasmine. I like to rub the bar onto my feet and put on a pair of socks and go. The bar is just light enough that you don’t feel greasy or moisture after applying (lush.com or 888-733-5874).
The best product I’ve found yet for the feet and hands is by Sheaterra Organics. This is probably most effectively used when it’s very cold or if you’re on your feet a lot and they take a beating. It’s not a product made for feet but, once again, it is great. “Frankincense and Myrrh” is my favorite. It’s almost solid in the jar but, once you start rubbing it the texture turns into a buttery consistency. Once applied, it’s best to put a pair of socks on for a few hours or overnight. This really helps to make the skin smooth. The only drawback for some may be the scent because it is very earthy and resinous which I quite like. The fragrance is woodsy and natural and can be used with the “Frankincense and Myrrh” body oil spray which is a bit on the sweeter side of woodsy. This African healing butter is deep penetrating and has been used for centuries for its healing properties. Both the body oil spray and shea butter are $12 each and will provide multiple usage because only a small bit is needed (sheaterra.com or 877-427-6627, b-glowing.com).
