No one really likes talking about feet. (Unless they REALLY like talking about feet, if you know what I mean!?) Having said that, a nasty looking foot is a real turn-off, so in my view it pays to take good care of those pinkies.
This thick, white treatment cream from Clarins is what I've been using to keep my heels soft this autumn. And it has all the usual suspects in terms of ingredients. Shea butter is deeply moisturising, while arnica is often used in homeopathy to help reduce swelling and bruising.
And this is not just for the foot; it is also a decent option for helping to strengthen your nails. Myrrh works to prevent split nails, as well as moisturising the nail beds and cuticles.
To get good coverage you need to be fairly liberal. Probably a 20p to 50p piece worth of cream per foot should do it. If you're bigfoot then use a little more. Don't be put off by the smell (which is medicinal, but not in a particularly good way), because the immediate feeling post-application is good. To get any long-term benefit though, you need to be using this stuff every day.
It's quite delicate, so if you're the man who has a foot that is in more need of a sander than a scrub, then this might not be for you. If that's the case, maybe think about something intensely exfoliating like the peppermint foot scrub from Body Shop. It's a bargain at £7.00 too. There's also nothing to stop you using a scrub followed by the cream, it just depends on whether you want to spend that long with your feet...
My tip, if you are using a foot cream like this, is to leave it by the bed. It feels best at the end of a long day, and having it on the bedside table just reminds you to use it. Just put it away if you have "guests" - best to keep your secrets to yourself!
