Foot/Pedicure Creams Review

Lush Fairtrade Foot Lotion 3/5
Although with regular application, this cream leaves your feet feeling soft in previously harder areas, and by regular I mean at least once a day; this cream has an almost 'sticky' residue, so wear with caution and use moisturising socks such as these, available from The Body Shop priced at £7 a pair. Priced at £8.95/225g, you're safe in the knowledge that you're paying for a fairtrade product, however the slightly sickly undertone to the mild peppermininess, I find distracting.



OPI  Papaya Manicure/Pedicure Massage Lotion 2/5
The clue is in the name with this one, it smells like papaya, which is sweeter than a smell I'm used to. A medium rate of absorption, this does have a very sugary smell which I find goes stale overnight, however it does leave the tootsies softened slightly. The bouncy, moussey texture is rather nice to smooth into the skin.



The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion 4/5
Toes are tingled with a minty, fresh feel after using this lotion. A little goes a very long way, and the smell is fresh and clean. The only down side to this refreshing cream is that it can leave feet feeling slightly greasy. If you ask me though, the results are completely worth it. Regular use (2-3 times a week) leaves feet amazingly soft and healthy looking.
