150 ml (5.0 fl.oz.) for INR 349

Company Says:- An intensive moisturising foot cream enriched with Avocado oil and Aloe Vera extract to soften and soothe rough skin. Massage into feet every night.

Ingredients:- Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Urea, Glycerine, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Cetearyl Sulphate, Ceteareth-12, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Dimethicone, Parfum, Panthenol, Persea Gratissima, Limonene, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal

My Opinion:- Now that Delhi weather is turning cold, I thought of starting to take extraaaaa care of my feet since I have dry feet and they tend to dry up even more in the winters. I got myself a jumbo size tube of Oriflame's Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream that too on discount :D



The packaging is very handy white plastic tube with the impression of a funny looking foot in various shades of green. The lid is screw-on transparent plastic which closes tight so there isn't any fear of spillage or spoilage while travelling which I frequent have to do.

The texture of this white cream is smooth and silky, like a thick lotion. A small pea sized amount is required for each foot and it gets absorbed instantly though I prefer to massage my feet a bit. The mint fragrange of this cream is very refreshing. No it doesn't contain mint but the fragrance is from linalool, one of the ingredients.



Upon application my feet are soft and silky also looks very polished, thanks to dimethicone. The overall condition of my feet is good enough so I can't comment on anything else except the fact that this cream moisturises my feet very well. Avocado and Aloe Vera are both highly moisturising and soothing and gives my feet a cool and refreshing feel when I apply this foot cream. I apply it every night before retiring and I am happy with the results I see after 10-15 days of regular application. But I doubt that this cream will not be able to heal cracked heels and very dry-rough feet.

Pros:-
* Very little is required for single use
* Moisturises my feet properly
* I like the artificial mint fragrance
* I have seen some results in 10-15 days, hence I am happy with it

Cons:-
* Pricey so take your chance during sales
* This jumbo tube is not always available
* I don't think it will work on cracked heels and very dry-rough feet

I rate this Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream 3.75 out of 5 because I know that will never be able to get hold of another jumbo tube of this cream, or I may have to keep waiting for offers and last but not the least I am yet not sure how it will behave in Delhi's cold winters.

              Hi Ladies, continuing my post on beauty aids from the kitchen garden, here I have some more beauty recipes for you all.

                Avocado (Aaroo):- It is rich and nourishing with high vitamin contents. It is widely used in making herbal cosmetics and can be used to soothe and smoothen dry skin. Mash a ripe avocado and add a few drops of lemon juice and the white of an egg. Mix well and apply on your face and neck. Leave it on for 15-20 mins and wash off with tepid water. The skin will absorb all the vitamins and oils and will benefit very much.

                 Lemon:- Lemon is known to be a bleaching agent and a natural astringent too. It is not good for dry, sensitive and parched skin types but is very good for oily and blemished skins. A mixture of honey and lemon juice is used to lighten dark spots on the body especially on the elbows and knees. Add milk and lemon juice to oatmeal powder to make a mask. Apply on face and neck for 15 mins and wash off. It will cleanse and liven your skin color. Using lemon juice on your hair helps prevents dandruff.

                Potato:- Thin slices of potato can be used for rejuvenating tired eyes and also reduces dark circles. Potatoes also lighten blemishes on the face.

                Marigold:- The orange marigold is a very prolific garden plant. A disinfectant herb, it has a very effective result in beauty treatments. Marigolds are known for their healing properties. You can prepare Marigold skin tonic at home very easily. Mix about 2 tbspn of dried Marigold flowers or 3 handfuls of fresh ones to 2-2 1/2 cups of boiling water. Cool and add 2 tbspn of Witch Hazel, bottle it. It is specially very useful for greasy and spotty skin.

               Rose:- You can prepare Deluxe-rose water yourself, which you will find very pure and clean. Take 2 handfuls of dark, scented rose petals and put them into a wide topped bottle. Now add about 1 liter of water and 200 gms of sugar into the bottle. Keep this mixture for 2-3 hours, shake in between. Then strain and store it in a cool place. This is a very precious homemade skin tonic.

                

                Hope you all benefit from the above recipes and leave your precious comments. Thanks :)
