My Opinion: - Just like I was using a body lotion for my hands during the peak of summers, similarly I was using body lotion on my feet as well. But just as fall is approaching and the weather is changing fast, I have reverted back to using a foot cream on my feet religiously. I have used a number of foot creams from various brands and I liked most of them. Today I am putting forward my views on Avon Foot Works Pomegranate Chocolate Moisturizing Foot Cream which is very apt for the day right now. The packaging is a simple white plastic tube with a flip open lid which click shuts tight. The packaging is perfect for carrying it along while travelling.

              The fragrance of this foot cream is very sweet and delectable :P Yes I am serious, very time I use this foot cream, I just want to take a lick at it. The fragrance is chocolate and vanilla and a little bit of citrusy scent added to it. The consistency of this foot cream is light-weight and its texture is smooth and somewhere in between a cream and lotion but I would call it a thick lotion. It is non-greasy and does not make my feet sticky. Stickiness attracts dirt and since it’s not sticky I am using it for day time. This sweet smelling foot cream gets absorbed easily into my skin without much rubbing/massaging.

                  I always apply this cream on my feet after bath and it stays on for long hours till I wash off my feet. It gives my skin enough moisturization and my feet are soft and smooth all day long. This foot cream does not that silky feel since silicones are missing in it. I wear open sandals/shoes etc, actually all types of foot wear and this cream has kept my feet well moisturized all throughout the day. It is not sticky so does not attract dirt and grime and also it does not make my feet sweat. I need a small blob of cream for both feet and therefore it will stay with me for more than Right now it’s working fine for me but comes winter, I shall have to use a heavier foot cream for the day time also. I am also using a richer foot cream during the nights, Fabindia Avocado Foot Cream, which I like as well.

Enough cream for my feet

Pros: -

* Affordable at Rs 150 for 50 ml

* Smells yummy…. Mouth watering actually

* Moisturizes my feet well

* Non-greasy and non-sticky so it’s perfect for day-time wear

* A small blob is enough for my feet, so I can say a little goes a long way

Cons: -

* Contains Parabens

* Company’s claim of smoothing winter dry skin seems to be false as this cream is light and good for day use, I have to use a richer foot cream even during the day in winters

* Avon seems to taken this cream off its catalogues, haven’t seen in recent times, don't know if they have discontinued this foot cream

              I rate this Avon Foot Works Pomegranate Chocolate Moisturizing Foot Cream 4 out of 5. It’s nothing extra-ordinary or gives dramatic results, it’s a simple foot cream with yummy fragrance which gives decent moisturization during the day at this time of the year. That’s it.

Hope you enjoyed this review; please do share your experiences with us about foot creams you are using right now. Thank you and do have a great day 

Clinically proven visible improvement for cracked and rough feet within 3 days.
Soft and Supple feet in 3 DAYS
Deep Moisturising * Non-greasy * Daily Care
20 gms for INR 40

Company Says:- Effective relief from dry, cracked heels and rough feet. Deep moisture for soft and smooth feet. Your feet take about 8000 steps everyday. The pressure exerted on your feet often exceeds your body weight. Also, about half a litre of moisture is lost through your feet every day, causing extreme dryness, loss of elasticity and damage to your skin. Yet, your feet remain the most neglected part of your body. Moisturising your feet regularly can help prevent these problems, keeping them soft and smooth. Himalaya FootCare Cream is an unique, daily-use, natural formulation that heals and softens excessively dry and rough feet, preventing cracks and helping protect feet from microbial infections. The gentle, yet effective combination of natural moisturisers provides an unique three-way deep moisturising effect, making your skin soft, increasing the natural moisture content and keeping your feet moisurized even during extensive exposure to the elements. Sal Tree extract has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric and Honey provide antiseptic and germicidal action, and Feenugreek helps heal cracks and relieve inflammation.
Use daily for soft, smooth, healthy feet.

My Opinion:-
The foot cream comes boxed with a paper flap shaped like a foot attached on top of that box. This cream from Himalaya Herbals is available in 2 sizes, unfortunately I got the smaller one but no problem with that. The white and orange plastic tube has a screw on green transparent lid.

The texture of this foot cream is soft and creamy and the consistency is that of a light cream. The cream is beige in color and gets absorbed very easily. I need a big blob for the entire foot and I like to massage it on my skin for a few seconds. This foot cream is very light and non greasy and spreads well on my skin.

I can safely carry this cream while travelling as it is a small tube and also the screw on lid is safe enough. The fragrance is a mixture of floral and herbal, which is pleasant and not very strong.

This cream has made my feet soft and smooth. I suppose it will be great for the summers as well. I can't really say much about the crack-healing claim because I donot have cracks on my heels. But this good foot cream gives adequate moisturization to my dry feet.

Pros:-

* Moisturises my feet well

* Roughness is gone, my feet are softer and smoother after regular usage

* Non-greasy formula makes it applicable for daytime

* Very cheap

* Gets absorbed very easily, spreads well too

* Natural ingredients like Sal, Honey, Fenugreek & Turmeric sounds very impressive

Cons:-

* A lot of product is needed for each application

I rate this Himalaya Herbals FootCare Cream 4.25 out of 5 (-0.75 because too much quantity is required for application on each foot). Its a good foot care product, a must try for all foot cream lovers. I love it and will keep coming back to this cream. I am on my third tube. Thank you for reading this post, have a great day ahead :)

Good Evening girls,
It's freezing right now, and sitting at home and doing nothing is not my cup of tea. So I thought why not share with you all my Mom's secret recipe to a soft and supple skin all through the harsh winters. Her skin never tends to get dry like mine does. Anyways coming back to the cream, my Mom and now me too applies it all over hands, feet/legs and the entire body to be precise. I dare not use it on my face but Mom says its a great cleanser as well. After using it for a couple of weeks now, I totally agree with her. Its a great hand cream cum foot cream cum body cream for the ones with dry skin like mine. Now the recipe follows:

Ingregeints:-
Pond's Cold Cream- 2 Tbspn
Almond Oil- 3 Tspn
Glycerin- 1 1/2 Tspn
Rose water- 1 Tspn or less
Essential Oil- 1-2 drops (I use lavender oil)
Empty Tub to store the cream

Method:-
Take Pond's Cold Cream and put it in the tub, add the glycerin and mix well. Now add the almond oil little by little and keep mixing. Finally add the rose water and essential oil and stir till you get your cream mixed well. Its ready to use.

You can also add coconut oil if you like to instead of almond oil. This cream takes good care of dry skin specially hands, feet, arms & legs. It also improves the condition of the cuticles with prolonged use. After you prepare this cream once, you can adjust the quantity of the ingredients to suit your needs. And also I would like to state that I never used it on my face to massage or to clean off makeup, so I would not be able to tell you anything regarding that. I use it at night before hitting the bed all over my body and hands and feet.









































































































Hope you enjoy reading and preparing the recipe. Do leave behind your precious comments. Thank you so much for reading this post and have a great day ahead :)

Our feet are definetely the most ignored and badly treated part of the body. Let's admit it that most of us probably do not think about our feet until they start complaining. If you have been neglecting your feet lately, decide immediately to rectify the mistake. Make it a point to give your feet all the extra care they deserve to make up for the years of neglect. If you ignore to deal with your feet problems now, they can become worse and even turn serious in course of time. Well shaped and soft feet are beauty assets which are in total display in those sexy strappy sandals. But for the good health of your feet, it is necessary to keep them in good shape throughout the year. Here are a few random tips to keep your feet in pristine condition.

* Regularly soak feet in warm water to which 2 tbspns of Epsom Salt have been thrown in. Leave your feet immersed in this solution for 15 mins.

* Daily abrassion is the key to soft smooth feet, use a pumice stone or foot file daily during bath.

* Scrubbing is another important aspect in foot care. Take a tspn of oil, vegetable/olive/almond oil, and add some sea salt and gently scrub your feet for about 5-10 mins. Wash off while bathing.

* Apply foot cream liberally at night before retiring. If foot creams donot work for you, mix together 2 tbspns of lemon juice and 1 1/2 tbspns of glycerin a small bottle and massage into your feet every night. Wear cotton socks and see how well moisturised they are.

* in a basin of hot water, add a tbspn of mustard oil and soak your feet in it for 15 mins. Step under the tap and allow cold water to run over your feet. This is great for relaxing your feet.

* Massage a couple of drrops of almond oil into your feet, you can also add almond oil to your regular foot cream for added benefits.

That's it for now, hope you enjoy reading this post. Thank you and have a great time :)

A unique 2-in-1 formula for smoother, healthier, radiant feet

60 gms for INR 75

Company Says:- A cream cum scrub formulation easily absorbed into the skin, shall help in the healing of the problems of even the driest and roughest feet. This unique product that shall rejuvenate and revitalize damaged skin to give your feet a smoother, healthier and more radiant appearance. A daily use product for your beautiful feet.

Method Of Use:- Take sufficient quantity of cream cum scrub from the tube and massage into heels and soles of the feet in a circular motion till absorbed. Leave on.

Active Ingredients:- Jojoba seed nuts, Sesame, Kokum Butter, Geranium Oil, Lemon Grass Oil, Rosemary extract.

My Opinion:-
We cannot alter the shape & size of our feet, whether we like it or not we have to live with the same pair of feet we are born with. Also our feet takes the entire weight of our body and are mostly neglected. There are nevre endings in our soles which make our feet all the more important. So taking good care (read pampering) is something which we should do regularly. Daily use of a foot cream is a must along with weekly scrubbing and regular filing.

I have been using and very much liking Oriflame Feet Up Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream. As it got over a couple of weeks ago, I thought of trying another brand of foot cream and this is when I stumbled upon Jovees Foot Cream & Scrub. The name itself was highly intriguing since the word 'scrub' was attached with the phrase 'Foot Cream'. the SA explained that this is a scrub kind of cream :P Back home, before retiring at night I open the sealed tube to find the SA was correct. The fragrance is very mild but sweet floral, which will be liked by most since its not at all over-powering. The texture is white creamy with tiny and bright pink beads. The cream nourishes and the beads exfoliates :D good for lazy girls like me.

I apply to my clean feet every night and massage it into my feet for a few seconds till the cream gets absorbed into my skin. The beads donot melt and stay as it is and makes me feel uneasy, imagine sleeping with scrub on :P These beads also stain and dirty my sheets so mom suggested that I should either wear socks or gently remove the beads with a soft towel. Anyways I like this great & innovative idea of scrub & cream packed together. I concentrate my massaging on the shoe bite marks I got in 3 places on each foot and I am happy to declare that they are fading away gradually.

This foot cream comes in a white plastic tube which is hygienic & travel friendly as the flip open lid click shuts tight. My feet are moisturised and exfoliated in 1 go and hence they are radiant and soft in the morning. Even after bathing, my feet stay silky & soft with no trace of dryness. This cream can be used by everyone and in all weather conditions. But I don't really think that this cream will work on very dry & rough feet immediately, you need to give it sometime before you start noticing the results.

Pros:-
* Does what it claims
* Considerably lightened the shoe bite marks
* Truly made my feet radiant & soft
* Gives exfoliation & nourishment in 1 go, very innovative concept
* Affordable & easily available
* Hygienic & travel friendly tube packaging
* Non greasy & light formula makes it perfect for daytime use as well

Cons:-
* Full ingredient list is not given
* I need 2 big blobs for a single foot so it will not see me through 1 month also
* The tiny pink beads left stains on my bed sheet, later on I started wearing a socks after gentle wiping off the beads

I rate this Jovees Foot Cream & Scrub 4.25 out of 5. It worked wonders for me and showed results almost immediately. Its a must try for all foot cream lovers. Do give it a try and you will thank yourself for it. Thank you and give a great day :)

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.
