Another treat for my little feet
There are many reasons why my foot care is important to me. First of all, I do not want my massage therapist to have to touch disgusting feet when I go see her once a month. But more importantly, I simply do not like my feet feeling rough or dry, which they often do because I swim and walk a lot.
***Deep Moisturising Cream***
Scholl’s “Deep Moisturising Cream” comes in a white and gold stand-up tube and contains 75 ml of white moisturising cream. The tube promises that the cram will provide 24-hour continuous hydration.
Scholl claims that this cream is “one of the most advanced foot care moisturising systems available”, having taken into account the unique characteristics of the skin of the feet. The cream is supposed to increase hydration by 80% and leave your feet soft, smooth and conditioned. Scholl recommends using the product 2-3 times a week after treating your feet with Scholl “Rough Skin Remover”.
***My experience***
I tend to use the “Deep Moisturising Cream” more often than the “Rough Skin Remover” – simply because it is less complex in its application. There is no need to wash your feet before applying the cream or rinsing them thereafter.
The cream does not have a very strong smell, in fact, the scent is barely detectable. It is slightly flowery but also has a mild undertone of a chlorine smell.
I tend to squeeze about a pea-sized amount of the cream out of the tube and massage it all over my right foot and then work myself upwards from the heel, the top of my foot and then between my toes. The cream feels silky and smooth on my hands and feet and is almost instantly absorbed. I then repeat the procedure on my left foot. On days when I feel like having an extra treat, I do the procedure twice on every foot – using another pea-sized amount of cream for each foot.
After application, my feet feel smoother and softer. Between the toes and on top of my feet, the skin feels almost like silk. The texture of my soles, while still slightly rough, also shows a marked difference in smoothness and hydration levels. Whether this is indeed an 80% improvement to previous hydration levels is arguable, however, the difference is undeniable.
The results after application of the moisturising cream differ depending upon whether I used the “Rough Skin Remover” prior to its application. This is especially so in respect to the underside of the foot – generally my feet feel twice as smooth and soft when using the “Rough Skin Remover” beforehand, which is only expected, considering that some of the thick and dead skin of the feet has been removed.
Usually I apply the cream at night and my feet still feel lovely in the morning. However, after my morning shower, the cream does tend to disappear – as does the lovely silky and soft feeling.
I tend to use the moisturising cream 5-6 times a week and the “Rough Skin Remover” 2-3 times a week. I estimate that the cream will last about 30 applications.
***Price and availability***
The “Deep Moisturising Cream” is available in places such as Boots and Superdrug and is priced at £4.25.
***The verdict***
After having used both products for approximately 4 weeks, I can notice an improvement in the skin of my feet. They no longer feel dry and brittle – and I am no longer ashamed to present them to my massage therapist.
Between the two products, I would definitely keep using the “Deep Moisturising Cream” on a regular basis – even at full price. The results are well worth the money – and it is so simple to apply that even a lazy person does not have an excuse.
Summary: A cream that rescues dry and brittle feet to make them feel smooth and silky.
