Advantages: Smells beautiful, softens feet a little
Disadvantages: Doesn't offer much to feet
When it comes to looking after my feet I'm sure they're the most neglected part of me. Which is why the other day (at a hint of sunshine outdoors) I rushed out to Boots to see what foot treatments I could buy to get slabs of meat worth shoving in some sandals and peep toes shoes with my pedal pushers and stuff lol.
I had very dry flaky skin, discoloured yellowy heels, just not very nice looking feet really and I was shocked to see what bad condition I had let them get into so I bagged a few products to try in Boots and this was one of them!
The Packaging....
The product comes in a glass see through round pot (in my case I own the s 50ml size but it is also available in 150ml and it has a shimmer pale pink screw on/off lid to the top of it. On the pot there is a light pink label on there and I'm told it is Boots 'Gorgeous Feet' Soothing Foot Soak which 'Works to soften tired and aching feet' and there is a drawn on small picture of a black show on there, contact details for Boots are given, size and the recycle symbol are displayed as well a bar-code and that's it unless you pull back the sticky label which hides other information such as cautions and ingredients. Nice enough pot this!
The Product....
The first thing you will notice about this 'cross between gel and cream' off yellow runny liquid is the smell of it. Ladies it's simply divine! If you love the smell of 'Lush' products for me this would fit in perfectly there. It's sweet, smells of vanilla and is very sweet and warm and for me this is an indulgent treat for the ladies in the main.
Personally I add a rather small amount to my bath and sit on the loo with my feet in warm water and soaking in the soft, highly fragrant and bubbly water but of course you can use what you like to soak your feet in but I'm not sure whether it would get too bubbly in an an electric foot spa!
Results....
Minimal. Great cleanser and odour eating product for sure and yes I have to admit my feet did feel refreshed after a wee dunking however I didn't feel much else happened. I expected to simply pat my feet dry and be met by silky feet but that wasn't the case. Sure I won't argue that they didn't feel a bit softer and more comfortable but not majorly so and I would say if you have problems with your feet and need some sort of treatment product..... then don't bother with this. However if you want a lovely, relaxing scented soak and to cleanse and chill the feet out this is lovely. I wouldn't mind using this after a busy day say as a wee treat and this is an economical product but for me I need something that is going to really do something and pep my feet up more!
Only available in Boots and I paid £1.99 for my 50ml pot and expect to pay around £4.99 for the 150ml size and other products to compliment this from within the range are also available.
Summary: Worth a go at the price it costs!
