Avon Planet Spa African Shea Foot & Elbow Cream
by thriftygiftyisme =Avon - Planet Spa African Sheer Foot and Elbow Cream= This is an Avon own brand product and can be purchased from an Avon representative or direct from the Avon website. =The Cream= The cream is part of the Plant Spa range from Avon, and this is the foot and elbow cream. =The Tub= The cream ... comes in a small tub, the tub is a clear plastic, and the lid is a white screw lid. The size of the pot is 75ml . On the bottom of the tub there is a round label, this gives you a list of the ingredients used as well as what part of the body to use the cream on. The label opens up and this contains the list of ingredients in other languages. The sticker in the lid has a swirly pattern and this has the name of the product, and explains that it conatins AHAs which provide extra exfoliation. =Price= As with all Avon prices the price can vary, as to whether it is on promotion or part or a special offer, but if you brought it without any offers it is £4.50 for a 75ml pot. =To Use= Once you have unscrewed the lid, there is a foil seal that needs to be removed, then you see the cream, the colour is a off white colour and has a shiny sheen to it. =For me= As this is for elbows and heels I use it as a night product, as with all lotions there is a risk of staining to furniture and clothes. So last thing at night, I give my feet a wash then apply the cream to my heels and then pop on a pair of socks. Avon do sell cotton socks that you can use with this product. =My impression= I was expecting the cream to be thick like a body butter but it was not thick as such, it was thicker than a cream and lotion but not as thick as a body butter. The cream had a sweet smell, I could not really identify any particular smell bar a smell of Shea butter. =To Apply= I dipped my fingers into the jar and immediatly it felt cold to the touch, I scooped some into the palm of my hand, then used the palm of my hand to rub the cream into my heels, I noticed that it was smooth, and applied easily to my feet but did not sink into my feet immediatly, I noticed that even 10 minutes later it was still on my heels, although my heels felt warm, so I guessed that the cream was starting to work. I then put socks on, and noticed that the cream had soaked into my socks. =off to bed= =Next morning= I wasn't quite sure what to expect, bit when I removed my socks, I noticed an improvement in the softness of my heels, they were less dry, less inflamed, as I do suffer with cracks on my heels, and have tried a lot of products. This was an improvement. =A week= For a week, I followed the same regime of applying nightly and within a week, the improvement on my heels were literally 100% turnaround. I did soak my feet in cream, so that when the socks went on then the cream would continue working. =Now= I usually use the cream once or twice a week, on my feet just to keep the top up condition. =Elbows= I have used this a couple of times on my elbows and have found that the cream worked as equally good, and now I use this as a once a week top up just for extra kick start, =My Overall Verdict= Even at £4.50 a tub this cream is literally worth its weight in gold, even better when it is on offer. =My Niggle= The only niggle I have is a lack of information about the product, as I would like to know more about the plant extracts as I am interested what I am putting on to my skin.

Avon Planet Spa African Shea Foot & Elbow Cream
by kiss_me2070 The Product = = = = = = = The product I am reviewing is Planet Spa African Sheer Foot & Elbow Cream. This product is by Avon and claims to relieve dry heels and elbows as well as softening calluses. The product contains AHAs which provide extra exfoliation. I have no idea what this is and I can't find any information on the ... product about this either. The cream comes in a round tub which has a white screw lid. On the lid it states what the product is. On the bottom of the tub is a round label that tells you where you can use the product and it also gives you a list of ingredients. If you open the label up this also lists the ingredients in different languages. The lid unscrews easily to reveal a foil seal which needs to be removed in order for you to get to the cream. This seal peels off easily and can just be thrown away. The cream is an off white colour and looks very shiny. I was a little surprised at the look of the cream as I was expecting it to be quite thick but on appearance it looks rather runny. I always find a lack of information on Avon products so I can't really tell you much more about the product itself apart from using the product and the results. Price/Availability = = = = = = = = = = You can purchase this from an Avon book through your local Avon representative or you can order the product direct from the Avon website. The product is currently priced at £2.70 for a 75ml pot, which is reduced from £4.50. Using the Product = = = = = = = = = = After having a bath I opened the tub ready to apply some of the cream. I was expecting the cream to smell slightly sweet and buttery. I smelt the tub of cream (more than once) and liked the sweet smell of the cream. The smell reminded me a little of burnt sugar but it was a light smell and not too strong. I actually really liked the smell of the cream and was looking forwards to using it. I dipped a finger into the cream so I could apply this to the problems areas. As I dipped my fingers into the cream it felt cool but extremely smooth and silky. This is when I noticed that the cream was runnier than what I imagined. The cream wasn't as runny as a lotion but at the same time it wasn't as thick as body butters or other creams I have used before. I only used a small amount at first and thought I could apply some more if I needed to. I rubbed a small amount onto my elbows and I also applied it to my knee's as well. As the cream is quite silky and goes on very easily you don't need to use a lot of the product. As I used the cream I was aware of the delicious smell that the cream had. I also applied this to the heels of my feet as they were looking and feeling a little dry. I put some cotton socks on my feet to ensure that the cream did a good job of moisturising my heels and a good 30mins later I then got into bed. The cream takes slightly longer than I expected to soak in. I would say that it's best to leave the cream for a good 5-10 minutes before getting into bed so that it has been absorbed properly. Although I had applied the cream to my elbows, knees and my heels, I couldn't really smell the scent of the cream anymore which was a little disappointing. I went to bed as normal and would check the results in the morning. After getting out of bed I then decided to look at my heels to see if the skin looked as though it had improved. I removed the cotton socks and was impressed to see that the dry skin had improved and didn't look as dry as it had done before applying the product. The heels also feel slightly softer as well. I then felt my knees which can sometimes feel dry and a little rough and noticed a difference in this area as well. My knees felt slightly smoother than before and after feeling my elbows and looking at them I noticed the same results. I was impressed and I had faith that if I continued to use the product the condition of these areas would improve. Overall Opinion = = = = = = = = = I have been applying the product daily for over 1 week and my elbows & knees have become less dry and they feel a lot smoother than they did before using the product. As you only need to use a little of the cream for these areas, the tub is going to last me a good month or so before I need to buy anymore. I love the sweet scent of the product; how-ever it's a shame that I can't really smell the cream once it has been applied. The downside to this product is the time that it takes for the cream to soak in. The cream is very slow at sinking into your skin, much slower than other creams and treatments that I have used before. Not only did the cream help the skin on my knees and elbows but it also helped the skin on my feet as well and these have also become less dry and a lot smoother. I would definitely recommend this product as it works well and is good value when it's on offer. I probably would purchase this product again as it does work well and I have been impressed with the results. (review also on ciao) Read the complete review |

Avon Foot Works Berry Vanilla Moisturising Cream
by supersonic75 **Introduction and reason for purchase** As a non driver I spend a lot of my day walking back and forth on the school run, food shopping and general running errands. Because of this I try to pay special attention to my feet by pampering them as much as possible and this includes using a good moisturising foot cream every night ... without fail. I've used several different products and brands in the past and whilst I'm not loyal to one particular product I do tend to favour Avon's foot works range as I've yet to be let down by anything from this range. I'm making up for lost time with Avon as for a while there were no local Rep's in my area, and as I've mentioned in previous reviews a school mum friend has just started running Avon so I've been able to continue buying old favourites as well as test out some of the up and coming new Avon items. This foot cream - Berry Vanilla Moisturising Cream from the Footworks range - instantly caught my eye whilst browsing through a brochure in early Dec of last year and I wasted no time in adding it to my order. As I've now just finished using this up in it's entirety my review will now discuss my thoughts and opinions on this product. **Price, packaging & availability** Berry Vanilla initially caught my eye due to the bright packaging it is ensconced in, being a 75ml tube which can be stored upright standing on the lid (if you so wish). The tube is made from a soft plastic which has a wider appearance from the front which is patterned with berry images in red and flowers in a beige like yellow to represent the vanilla with footprint images in amongst. These images contrast brightly with the stark white background of the tube and it was this that stood out to me whilst perusing the Avon brochure first and foremost. When I saw this was fragranced with a berry & vanilla scent it sounded different from the usual menthol/ mint foot products that I've used in the past, and the fact it was on offer at the time costing just £1.25 made it even more appealing. This can be ordered directly from Avon through their website @www.avonshop.co.uk though there is normally a charge for P&P. I order my products from a Rep as I find it quick and convenient to do it this way as it's delivered to my home (or passed to me in the school playground) with no waiting around for parcels to be delivered. The RRP of this foot cream in the last brochure was around £3.50 but as with most Avon products they disappear for a while before popping back up again on some kind of offer such as 4 for £5 or 99p, so it's worth keeping an eye out for future promotions. **My experience of using this** I really liked the sound of this berry and vanilla fusion as a foot cream and wasted no time in trying it on the day my order arrived. Like most of my toiletries I tend to have two or three of the same product on the go at any one given time, as I find using the same fragranced item day in day out boring so I like to add a touch of variety and vary what I use. On unscrewing the transparent plastic cap that protects the nozzle I was instantly greeted with a rich berry scent that had a hint of sweetness to it. The cream itself is quite a deep pink in colour and reminded me of the Germolene medicated ointment at first though thankfully without the accompanying aroma. On squeezing the tube the cream emits slowly due to it's quite thick consistency which for me was a positive sign that it would be rich enough to give my feet plenty of moisturisation. The cream has a slight greasy texture but I hoped this would disappear once it was fully rubbed into my skin as the thought of greasy feeling feet slipping and sliding about wasn't very appealing! Because I walk a lot I literally live in trainers and whilst they cushion my feet adequately I am still prone to getting callouses and hard skin so I exfoliate once a week. Once I've removed any hard skin I follow this weekly foot ritual with soaking my feet in warm water and then generously applying layers of whichever moisturising foot cream I come across. I was eager to test this particular product out mainly because of the beautiful sweet berry aroma it offered as it made such a change from the mint based products that I usually use. I first used this product once my feet had been exfoliated and soaked so were ready to absorb some much needed moisture. I squeezed a small pea sized blob out and applied to the underneath of one foot and found that on rubbing in it was instantly disappearing so I squeezed around the same quantity out again and this sufficed for the top of my foot as well as another layer on the sole area. I proceeded to do the same again with my other foot and found the cream felt less greasy like whilst I was applying it which was a relief. **Results and recommendations** I always wear a pair of cotton socks after applying foot cream to help it soak in and by the time I'd finished applying cream to my other foot the first foot felt velvety soft. There wasn't a hint of grease like residue, nor did my feet feel sticky or tacky like some lotions and potions can cause. The berry aroma was very evident when I was applying the cream, though it wasn't too strong and overpowering, it was just noticeable enough to leave a nice fresh scent on my feet whilst softening them at the same time. The morning after using this cream I removed my socks and found the skin on my feet felt really soft, in fact they felt at their softness as I've used so many different brands and foot products in the past but I don't think they have ever felt as velvety soft as they did when using this. The berry vanilla scent was still slightly detectable and I could smell the beautiful aroma infused into the skin on my feet and ankles which I was pleased about as it was the fragrance that won me over when buying in the first place. My feet felt really smooth and moisturised and I was really pleased with the effects that it had on my first experience of using it so I was well and truly won over. I've been using this cream around 4 times a week and have been alternating it with my other foot treatment products and I have to say I'm really impressed. A small amount is all that is needed for each foot, and the cream soaks in almost instantaneously so you don't have to spend ages rubbing each feet. The aroma has the right balance of berry fruit to vanilla ratio and actually has a very fresh scent to it that lingers when applied. The cream feels cooling when applied to my feet and adds a comforting and soothing feel as soon as it's applied whilst invigorating at the same time despite the lack of 'menthol zing' and to say the product is a bright pink it disappears instantly into the skin without a trace of colour, nor does it mark any material as my white cotton socks will vouch for. I would highly recommend this product as I've used many items from the Avon Footworks range in the past and have never let down with this being no exception and at the moment it's my number one choice for pampering my tired feet on an evening. Top marks from me 5/5 Read the complete review |
