Advantages: Contains all the right ingredients

Disadvantages: Christmassy smell

My pot of Pied de Pepper came as part of a Lush gift set from friends. I wouldn’t usually purchase foot cream so this has been quite a new experience for me.

On opening the cream the spicy “Christmassy” smell of cinnamon, ginger and cloves hit my nostrils. The cream is a chocolate colour with the consistency of Angel Delight (yummy). It’s easy to apply, melts into the skin a treat and doesn’t feel at all sticky on application.

Lush claims that Pied de Pepper will “restore worn out feet, refresh your soles and breath life back into tired toes”. So what has it done for me?

After first use
~~~~~~~~~~

After first use I noticed no immediate difference. Apart from the possibility of future excuses for relaxing foot massages (if I could find anyone daring enough to go near my feet), my plates of meat felt the same as usual. However, if I’d just completed the London Marathon perhaps I would have a different story to tell!

After one month’s daily usage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, my feet certainly feel softer, the rough skin and “hard bits” aren’t so noticeable, so yes, it has made a difference. It hasn’t completely stopped my feet perspiring in certain items of footwear though.

Ingredients
~~~~~~~~

The ingredients worth noting are:

Vanilla pod decoction (main ingredient);
Olive oil and cocoa butter (to soften hard skin);
Clove bud oil (to ease any discomfort);
Cinnamon leaf oil (for its antiseptic properties);
Ginger oil (warming, comforting and uplifting);
Lemon oil (to help control perspiration)

Conclusion
~~~~~~~~

A 125g pot of Pied de Pepper costs £4.35 from Lush. The cream contains all the right ingredients to care for those worn out feet, though I personally wouldn’t go out and buy another pot – it hasn’t made a huge difference to t
he state of my feet and to be honest, the smell of Christmas is the last thing I need now it’s Summer!
