Barefooted Beauty - Natural Foot Creams REVIEW - PART 1
What makes a Natural Beauty? To my humble view, it's the kind smile,
caring nature, eating clean and using natural cosmetics. Natural Beauties
oversee the importance of looking after their bodies - not just the face or
neck - it's the top to toe care. Natural Beauties walk barefooted on
freshly sprung grass fields, on warm sands of long beaches. They also love
their garden parties wearing barely there, strappy sandals. They know their
feet must be in perfect condition. Considering a natural beauty lifestyle for
yourself? Why not start from trying some of my latest finds to prepare yourself
for barefooted Summer season.
Excitement has been fuelling my work since I started my beauty blog.
Researching natural brands, both established and new ones is leading to
beauty discoveries I never knew existed. They offer the best benefits
you could possibly extract from nature, just take a look at this one
below:
Packaging:
This FOOT BALM is packaged in
a plastic pot with black lid, it has a tidy, branded label with the most IMPORTANT
information about the product. Although we come across that type of
containers frequently, this product is still visually appealing in a "modern
minimalistic" way. It resembles the brand's manufacturing method - HANDMADE. You know straight away what you hold in your hands and
what it is used for. The list of natural ingredients has Latin terms
included therefore may not be easily understood by everyone. The full list of ingredients in English for all products can be found on Naturally Made FOR YOU Website. There's no
indication regarding the volume or size of the product.
Texture:
Naturally Made FOR YOU Peppermint Foot Balm has a BUTTER TEXTURE, soft enough to easily glide on all over your
feet. On application, it gives the feet protective layer from
plants and fruits extracts.
Scent and Ingredients:
Naturally Made FOR YOU has a very SUBTLE SCENT, sweet and herbal note, not overpowering,
but strong enough to relax the whole body and mind when applying. This is because Naturally Made Peppermint Foot Balm is formulated using rosemary, peppermint and eucalyptus aromatic
extracts - natural remedies for tired feet that need re-energising. Coconut
oil, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil and sweet almond oil are all combined
together to soften skin, and improve resistance to mechanical damage. The
formula of this FOOT BALM is bursting with rich ingredients. Avocado oil is
another hero rescuing your skin from severe dehydration, repairing it and
helping treat conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
Properties:
This Naturally Made FOR YOU little beauty
wonder is created to soften, moisturise and rejuvenate your skin. It is
recommended by the manufacturer to use it as an overnight treatment to maximise
the soothing and nourishing effects. As mentioned above, the cream is packed
full of rich oils and plant extracts to bring back that sandal "show
off" look to your feet.
My Personal Experience:
It would be fair to mention that my feet are a PERFECT TESTER for all
kinds of foot treatments. I love my sports, I sweat the hell out of me on
tennis court, run medium distances, train for strength and agility. My feet
have suffered from blisters, hardened skin and damaged toenails many times.
How did Naturally Made FOR YOU Peppermint Foot Cream cope?
This wonderfully blended FOOT BALM gave me an immediate relief from achy
feet after one of my long training sessions. I experienced this blissful
enveloping feeling, as if I had my feet wrapped up with some protective fabric.
Aromas of lavender and rosemary were relaxing all my senses. The peppermint
scent isn't that obvious, I'd say it is more of a sweet herbal fragrance which
I really liked. I used this foot butter as overnight treatment three times and
I noticed my skin was softened around heel area and much, much silkier when
touched. I probably wouldn't use it as a morning after shower foot cream as it
leaves this delicate protective layer of oils, if I was to go for a workout
though, I would definitely apply a generous amount before putting my socks on.
Overall, it stays on my shelf as an overnight FOOT RESCUE CREAM.
