How to Energize Tired Feet While at Work

This kissing couple can be doing their foot exercises at the same time.

If you have a job where you’re standing on your feet a lot or are constantly on the move, then you probably suffer at the end of the day.  However, there are so ways to ease that tired feeling before you get home that could bring you some relief.

What you can do is to try a few simple foot exercises.  No supervisor will suspect that you are slacking from doing your work  because your toes will be moving in the privacy of your shoes to perform the exercise.  

Here’s what you need to try.  Point your toes upward in your shoes and hold that position for a few seconds before flexing them downward. Repeat this about eight times or as often as you can.  Believe it or not, this will help stimulate circulation and give you a little more boost in your step.

There is even more that you can do when you go on your break or to the rest room.  Do the same above exercise but alternate the routine and stand on your tiptoes when flexing the toes outward and then inward.  

Something else that can perk up feet that tire easily is using a wooden foot roller.  Unfortunately, your position might not allow you access to a desk where you could take your shoes off and have your feet beneath to take advantage of that comforting massage of that roller.  Then again, a foot roller can help you later at home.

DIY Foot Care Soothe and Smooth Aromatherapy Scrub Recipe

Your feet will feel and look renewed.

We put our feet through a lot of abuse every day. Between standing on them for too long or walking too much to wedge them in stylish, but hardly the most comfortable shoes, we in return pay the price for it.  Since I also suffer, you probably notice how many posts I devote to restoring the health and beauty of feet with DIY foot care recipes.   Today, I want to share another multitasking one to relieve stress as well as  healing any fungal infections of the nail, disinfect with its antiseptic properties while smoothing, and softening tough skin.  

My recipe has sweet almond oil to serve as the carrier oil.  It also helps relieve aches, improve circulation and rid the skin of toxins.  

Brown sugar has a finer granule without roughing up hurting feet.

Brown sugar was selected as the exfoliant.  Having a finer texture than crystal structure of regular sugar, it is not as abrasive for hurting or swollen feet.

The other ingredients include tea tree oil for being an antiseptic as well as fungicide to help heal any problems of the nails and skin. 

Something else that is beneficial for the health of the feet is rosewood essential oil.  I chose to add this since it is an antibacterial, antiseptic and can boost your mood. To further aid in stress-busting, I also used some lavender essential oil. 

Finally, I chose to incorporate a tablespoon of honey to this DIY recipe.  Honey is a humectant that can draw moisture to the skin besides help with inflammation and fighting bacteria.

DIY Foot Care Soothe and Smooth Aromatherapy Scrub

one cup of brown sugar (any variety)
one-fourth cup of sweet almond oil
four drops of tea tree oil
two drops of rosewood essential oil
four drops of lavender essential oil
one  tablespoon of honey


Mix the ingredients in a container until well combined.

Apply to your clean feet and gently rub the mixture to exfoliate and treat the skin.

You’ll benefit from its aromatherapy through this treatment as you work, feeling more relaxed the longer you spend inhaling and rubbing.  

By the time you finish using your ingredients, wash your feet and pat dry.

Your feet will feel pampered with new softness, smoothness, and energized.  

Quick Callus Fix to Pretty Up Your Feet

This foot care post is a must for keeping feet beautiful and healthy.

Why is it that we continue to wear shoes that result in calluses?  Of course, the reason is we’ll do practically anything to look beautiful, including spending time in less than comfortable shoes.  If you also are guilty of this, then join the crowd because calluses are our bodies’ defense for protecting the skin at the bottom of our feet from constant friction caused by ill-fitting shoes or just standing too long.  

I have already shared two of my favorite ways of dealing with this problem.  One was a DIY callus foot fix recipe and the other was some alternative methods and a great soak to soften that tough skin.  

Still, there is something else that you may want to try on your calluses.  Those that have a flaky scalp and have dandruff shampoo in the house might find it convenient to rub some of this particular shampoo on your feet while in the shower.  All required is leaving the dandruff shampoo on for at least five to seven minutes to give the product’s salicylic acid time to gradually start loosening some of the hard skin before rinsing off.

However, this method is not recommended for anyone that is allergic to aspirin because it has salicylic acid in it.  Therefore, please keep this fact in mind.

The more treatments that you give your feet, the more that the callus will start to peel. 

Perk Up the Feel and Look of Your Feet With My DIY Refreshing Peppermint Salt Scrub

Pamper your feet and they will carry you further. 

You might have noticed that I devote quite a few posts to help improve feet for appearance as well as helping them to feel better.

Today, I have another with my Refreshing Peppermint Salt Scrub recipe that you might want to try that not only stimulates circulation, exfoliates roughness and offers a bit of cooling as it works. 

Taking time to pamper your feet will make them more beautiful, but it also perks them up a bit.

Are Those Stylish Shoes Causing You Foot Problems?

Pain vs Beauty

How many of us are guilty of sacrificing comfort for the sake of wearing a gorgeous pair of new shoes just to look good?  After all, how can we not want to look our best in something like a great pair of stilettos that do so much in how they shape and tense calf muscles while also doing wonders for how well they elongate our legs?  This is just one example of how we habitually put beauty before common sense sometimes.

I, for one, can’t help myself when my eyes meet up with the perfect shoe.  Though you know you don’t need another pair, your adoring gaze locks onto those must have shoes that you just tell yourself you will only try on.  Then, it happens.  You fall victim despite too narrow of the shoe box, overly high heels or other faults of great shoes that you sense will only hurt later.

How to Energize Tired Feet After All That Holiday Shopping!

This beauty was almost afraid of how she would finish shopping until finding help in this post.

Some prefer to let their fingers do the walking instead of feet with key strokes on the computer to shop for their holiday gifts.  Nonetheless, if you prefer the old-fashioned method of shopping at brick and mortar stores, then your feet might be suffering and feeling more tired than usual.  Even though you still have more physical shopping left to do, here is the help you need to recharge those feet so you can finish without complaint.

Before you begin to shop for others, do a kindness for yourself.  Make a pit stop to a drug store or whatever you buy your beauty products and browse foot moisturizers and scrubs.  Look for ones with foot reviving ingredients like rosemary, mint, peppermint essential oil, eucalyptus, and citrus.  Formulas that contain any of those ingredients can make a difference to energize those tired feet again!

Your Feet Deserve My DIY Foot Sloughing Soak for Skin Pampering!

Hard-working, stylish feet need all the help they can get--like this soothing recipe!

We spend more time concentrating our beauty efforts on our faces and bodies than our often neglected feet. However, if you want to reward them with smoother skin, I hope that you will set aside some time to try this simple recipe because it encourages smoother feet as it very gently exfoliates rough skin.  

Another perk is how stimulating you will find this homemade foot treat is once you take advantage of this warm, soothing soak.  Your tired feet will thank you.

DIY Foot Sloughing Soak

1/3 cup of warm olive oil
juice of two fresh lemons
1 vitamin E soft gel capsule (400 I.U.)
2 drops of peppermint essential oil

Heat the olive oil until it is warm, but not hot so it is a comfortable temperature.

Pour this into your foot size basin along with the juice of two fresh lemon, the contents of the vitamin E capsule once you pricked it open with a pin and the two drops of peppermint essential oil.  

Soak your clean feet for as long as you can, but at least ten minutes before drying.  Follow up with foot cream.

What to Look for to Protect Your Feet From the Possible Dangers Before Getting a Salon Pedicure!

Before you sit in a salon chair, you'll want to read this.

Salon pedicures are certainly relaxing more so than one that you do at home.  However, before you treat your feet to salon pampering, there are some simple precautions that you should take to best protect the health of your feet.

Look for the salon’s license along with the names of the technicians near the door area is important. An elegant interior does not guarantee the cleanliness of the operator’s workstation or how the tools used are sterilized.  If you see an unkempt station that may have tools lying about or notice too much trash piling up in the operator’s waste can, this can be a clue to how sanitary that workstation is.  

Why Diabetics Might Want to Avoid Epsom Salt and Other Foot Soaks!

Diabetics and others with circulation problems have special issues that need to be taken into consideration in order to keep feet healthy.

When my feet are killing me, I often use Epsom salt in some of my foot baths to soothe pain.  However, if you have diabetes or any circulation issues that make you prone to open sores, you might be want to avoid long, hot soaks and Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)  in particular to bathe your feet in to keep them their healthiest.

The reason Epsom salt can make a problem worse is because magnesium sulfate is overly drying for the already dry skin that often accompanies a diabetic condition.

Instead, you are safer to just wash your feet with unscented soap and lukewarm water before drying and following up with moisturizing lotion all over the feet with the exception of lubricating between the toes.

Diabetics are often low on magnesium, which could help with sugar and cholesterol levels.  Nonetheless, before you start self-treating with a magnesium supplement or mixing with your medications, please seek the advice of your physician.  

Soothe Rough Feet With My Other Favorite DIY #Callus Foot Fix Recipe!

Pretty feet need just as much tender loving care as your complexion--so treat them right with this great foot fix!

Give your feet the help it craves for rough skin or calluses with my other favorite nourishing DIY foot mask. What is so nice about this particular recipe is how relaxing it feels as those creamy, beneficial ingredients go to work.

Having olive oil with its rich antioxidants helps with smoothing and softening.  This ingredient also is a form of vegetable squalene, a natural lubricant with humectant properties to attract the water to the skin cell for more thoroughly moisturizing that roughness.

Buttermilk is loaded with more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help keeps the skin supple. Something else it has is lactic acid, which provides gentle peeling for skin renewal.

Mayonnaise also provides a nourishing source of further benefits for that hard skin.  It has antioxidants and protein from its oil and eggs among the most noteworthy of its ingredients.

Last of all, this recipe uses tea tree oil for its antiseptic powers for killing bacteria and fungi, which could be lurking in a funky looking toe nail.

After you prepare this foot fix, you will have to drape enough plastic wrap around your feet to cover them once you spread the mixture on.  You also will need a clean pair of white cotton socks to keep the treatment intact.



My Second Favorite Callus Foot Fix Recipe

½ cup of olive oil
½ cup of buttermilk
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
4 drops of tea tree oil
Plastic Wrap


Blend all the ingredients together before spreading on your clean feet.

Then wrap your freshly lubricated feet in plastic wrap and securing in a pair of white cotton socks.

Wear this treatment at least an hour or longer for even more benefits.  

You will love the results!

DIY Smoothing Foot Fix Recipe Your Tired, Sore Feet Will Love!

Treat your sore feet with some pampering relief with my homemade skin care recipe for this Smoothing Foot Soak Fix.

We put our feet through the paces with all the walking, standing, running, and not to mention wedging them into shoes, which can be ill-fitting for the sake of fashion.  Why should it surprise us that by the end of a day our feet can hurt? Therefore, give those sore puppies some tender loving care and emerge them into this wonderful home foot treatment.

Allow yourself at least 30 minutes for these soothing and energizing ingredients to do their work. By the time that you finish, your feet will be softer from all the lactic acid and proteins in the milk as well as be thoroughly moisturized and cleansed thanks also to the gentle exfoliating power of the saponins in the oatmeal, released from finely grinding the oats in your food processor or blender to make colloidal oatmeal. In addition, the honey and baking soda also helps kill bacteria while the Epsom salt serves to revitalize since it is a pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate.

Smoothing Foot Soak Fix for Tired Feet

½ cup dry powdered milk
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal, finely ground
1 tablespoon of honey
4 tablespoons of olive oil
6-1/2 cups of warm water
1/4 cup Epsom salt
1 tablespoon of baking soda


You will need a basin large enough to accommodate your feet along with the water in which you added all the ingredients and combined before soaking your feet.  

After you are through, rinse off and dry before pampering the feet with lotion.

I hope you try it because it does work some magic on feet to make them feel better in no time.

Do You Have a Problem With Sweaty, Foul-Smelling Feet?

This post can help solve an embarrassing problem.

Some people have feet that sweat more than others.  The problem can be made worse by wearing synthetic shoes over natural materials like leather, which allows the feet to breathe more instead of locking the moisture in the shoe.  Think back to summer and plastic sandals like clogs and remember the stench once you slipped them off to understand how the material of the shoe makes such a difference in the amount of the odor that is released.

What else that helps is to soak your feet in a basin of tepid water with some apple cider vinegar to disinfect the bacteria causing that perspiration. Pour in about three tablespoons for your soak for about 10 or 15 minutes.  You can also use white vinegar, but I prefer the apple cider vinegar because it is powerful enough to act as a fungicide as well.  

If you go to the gym and workout, you could possibly come in contact with a foot fungus that can discolor a toenail or even develop Athlete’s Foot, if you’re not careful.  I say if you are going to soak, then don’t take chances and safeguard your feet with an apple cider vinegar soak.

Just for the record, if you think you might have a fungus that is making your toenail look strange, then I have a suggestion that may help.  Do soak your feet first in the apple cider vinegar and then apply some VicksVapoRub over the area.  Cover with a pair of white cotton socks.  Continue this procedure for a few days and it should improve, if not totally clear up.

Don’t worry if you think that you will smell like salad.  Soap and water and a nice hot shower or bath will fix that. 

I do hope you try these tips because they do help!

Here’s Quick Relief for Tired, Sore Feet After Walking All Day in High Heels!

Though heels are gorgeous and do make legs look longer, they can leave you hurting if walking in them all day.  Instead of continuing to suffer in silence just for the sake of fashion, I am here to help rescue your poor, abused feet.

You can start by getting a clean basin and pouring in three tablespoons of white or apple cider vinegar to three tablespoons of Epsom salt before filling it with enough warm water to soak your feet in.  Keep the feet immersed for at least fifteen minutes.  

The acidity in the vinegar will help disinfect the feet and soften the skin while the Epsom salt will tend to the swelling and increase circulation.

After you shower and are getting ready for bed, I recommend rubbing your sore feet with a thick coat of Vicks VapoRub and slip into a pair of socks.  Once you wake up, you will need to wash your feet but you will feel like were treated to the best massage of your life!

By the way, this VicksVapoRub treatment done in the same way for your feet and covering them with socks through the night, is also said to help control a cough.  I never tested that particular home remedy for myself, but I thought to pass it on just in case you might have one.

Vick's VapoRub can be the best friend of hurting feet.

How I Make the Most of Summer–L’Occitane en Provence Style! (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Vitoria Regia (Day) Shower Gel

Summer is the time that you show more skin than other seasons.  Therefore, you need to take more care and adapt your beauty routine so that every inch of you is as beautiful as can be.  Let me share a few of my favorite products from L’Occitane en Provence that can definitely solve those special needs so you can make the most out of your summer also!

Ever since I reviewed the Bresil Collection, I have fallen in love with the deliciously exotic green, aquatic floral scent of Vitoria Regia.  Every time I suds up with this lush smelling Amazonian spawned floral, I allow that bright fragrance to carry me off. Vitoria Regia (Day) Shower Gel ($20) is light and just perfect for its uplighting effect to begin any day.

I have been slathering on L’Occitane en Provence’s award-winning Almond Milk Concentrate ($29.50--$49) after enjoying myself outside in the sun.  With its rich emollients like walnut seed and almond extracts, my skin drinks in this silky cream and feels so much better afterwards.  The scent of this is gentle and won’t clash with fragrance either. 

Almond Milk Concentrate

However, when it comes to feet, I can’t recommend their Shea Butter Foot Cream ($28) more highly enough especially this being the sandal season.  This award-winning stuff is a foot miracle in a tube with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties as well.  Despite how tired your feet can feel after a day in fashionable, but painful shoes, this cream has lavender and arnica as well as shea butter to refresh as it softens them beyond belief.  You’ll be surprised at that extra bit of pep that you’ll find in your step. 

Shea Butter Foot Cream

Before venturing outdoors, I make it a point to never be without  Angelica UV Shield SPF 40 ($38), another award-winning product.  What I love is how lightweight this multitasking moisturizer with a sun screen feels while it solves that dryness problem at the same time.  And yet, it does more for how it manages to perk up my complexion without using very much from its pump dispenser. 

Angelica UV Shield SPF 40 Moisturizer

Something else you need to try are products from their Immortelle line.  I have been using the Brightening Water ($28) for my toner for a while.  What I noticed is this product does more than just being able to remove any last reside of grime and makeup.  It also gives a face added luminosity that you have to experience firsthand over time.  Perhaps, it is the bellis perennis extract and vitamin C derivative along with the garden nasturtium extract that helps the complexion get that unreal glow.  I can’t begin to say how the formula works, only that it does!

Brightening Water

These five are a few of my summer beauty finds from this French brand that I highly recommend trying if you haven’t done so yet. What are your favorite products from L’Occitane en Provence?

Treat Your Feet to Some TLC--Garden Botanika Twinkle Toes Sweet Mint Winter Gift Collection Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Garden Botanika Twinkle Toes Sweet Mint Winter Gift Collection

Our feet take a lot of abuse every day.  Just to look fashionable, we can wedge them into ill-fitting shoes, often torturing them or walk barefoot without thought as to the damage we do to our skin. The only way they fight back is with dry, rough heels, corns, and blisters.  I happen to think our hard-working feet deserve a little tender loving care to reward them for all that we put them through and Garden Botanika's Twinkle Toes Sweet Mint Winter Collection of foot care products is a great way to do it. 

The first product I started applying was the Sweet Mint Foot Polish to clean, but still damp feet.  This is a gentle exfoliating cream with finely ground walnut shells for smoothing rough skin as well as ingredients like peppermint leaf extract and vanilla for a refreshing, cool feeling and scent.

I followed with the Sweet Mint Foot Spray to energize my tired feet up.  With peppermint and tea tree oil, this spray helped perk and  deodorize. 

I finished my foot ritual with the Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment and then put on the Moisture Socks before bedtime.  This cream is rich in moisture from Shea and Cacao Seed butters besides fruits acids for additional exfoliation.

These products did treat my feet to some wonderful pampering and softer skin.  Anyone would notice a nice difference in their feet using this kit so do think of getting one for yourself or as holiday gifts. 

This kit consists of Sweet Mint AHA Foot Treatment (4 oz.), Sweet Mint Foot Polish (4 oz.), Sweet Mint Foot Spray (4 oz.), and a pair of Moisture Socks.  Bought separately, you would pay $41 for all this.  With the holidays nearly here, Garden Botanika's Twinkle Toes Sweet Mint Winter Gift Collection is now specially priced at $29.50!

Those Dry Feet of Yours Will Love My Yummy Homemade Foot Softening Butter!

Today, I have a wonderful homemade skin care recipe that you can make in practically no time to soften your feet.  This simple beauty concoction has a delicious smell and works magic on dry, tough skin. 

Be warned, however, there is one pitfall to working with this recipe.  The more you smell that yummy aroma, the hungrier you may get for sweets!

Now that I cleared my conscience, I hope you try this recipe out and treat those feet. 

What I like to do is slather a generous amount of this foot butter on my freshly washed feet at night and then encase them in a pair of white cotton socks for maximum benefits.  By morning, you will notice a beautiful improvement in the condition of the treated skin.

My Yummy Homemade Foot Softening Butter

2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil
3 teaspoons of Crisco Vegetable Shortening
4 teaspoons of Cocoa Butter
2 teaspoons  of Vitamin E oil

Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly.  

Store in a clean container because this will be enough for at least two or three times, depending on how thick of the application used. 

Trust me, you are going to love the results!

Try My Softer Feet Exfoliating Scrub Recipe and Walk Easier!

I have been experimenting with more homemade skin care treatments to beautify my feet.  This particular recipe does a nice job for smoothing out some of that tough skin on the bottom and heels of our feet. 

Another bonus of this type of scrub is the added advantage of stimulating blood flow to tired feet.  Furthermore, eucalyptus essential oil in this recipe is an anti-inflammatory agent, which helps keep the skin healthy.

Massaging this grainy paste against the balls of your feet, especially seems to restore energy while shedding dead skin.  Babying your feet weekly will make sure foot creams have the best chance of working on the area.  Feet will become softer and revitalized.

You will not use the whole recipe.  However, don't worry about the excess because this keeps for several weeks.  Divide it up for at least three or four times. 

You can soak your feet first to start the softening process or simply take some of your mix with you when you are about to shower.  This can be messy, but you are in the shower anyway so no big deal.  All that is left is working this scrub into your feet and give those puppies that tender loving care they deserve.

Don't be overzealous with this or any scrub.  Otherwise, you risk irritating them.

I hope you try my recipe because it is an amazing homemade fix.


My Softer Feet Exfoliating Scrub

1-1/2 cups of sea salt
1/4 cup of sweet almond oil
6 drops of eucalyptus essential oil

Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until it resembles a grainy paste.  Then rub this scrub all over those feet, concentrating your attention on the roughest skin on the bottom before finally showering this treatment away.

Pretty Those Feet With This Great Homemade Soak Also With Aromatherapy and Health Benefits!

Of course, it is always easier to buy commercial foot care products.  However, I have a fabulous recipe that you might want to try because it amazing for soaking your feet. This Epsom salt soak is excellent for several reasons besides softening rough skin on your feet to pretty them up.  Magnesium sulfate can help draw toxins out while also having a calming effect on the nervous system, aids in relieving swelling, and is fantastic way to relax sore muscles.  

You will need a basin and about a gallon of warm water or so that will be able to cover your feet.  Measure about 3/4 cup Epsom salt or more depending on how much water you pour into the basin or tub where you plan to do your soaking.

Next, I suggest pour a few drops of essential oil for a dose of aromatherapy as you treat your feet.

Lavender Essential Oil is wonderful for bringing on relaxation when you soak.  Start with about three or four drops and feel that tension leaving. 

When your muscles feel achy from overdoing, you might want to add the same amount of Rosemary Essential Oil to your soak.  Another excellent soothing oil is Peppermint. 

Tea Tree Essential Oil is a disinfectant and can help with healing a variety of foot problems like blisters to athletes foot.  This oil also can also help with itching from insect bites.

Instead of using essential oils, you can use dried herbs or flower petals from your garden to add to that simple soak.  Dried lavender or rose petals provide beautiful fragrance.  Then again, dried rosemary or mint is also fantastic and quite invigorating to the senses. 

If you don't want to do any aromatherapy, you can also fancy up your soak with some vanilla extract or some ground cinnamon, which are both delightful.

I like to soak over a leisurely cup of coffee early in the morning or when I am really tired.  The soothing water seems to help refresh as well as benefit skin and your senses so you might want to find a time when you need a well-deserved break to schedule in your soak.  I sit and relax until the water loses its warmth.

When you finish your soak, I like to wash my feet with soap and dry before applying any foot scrub or lotion.  By the time you are done with this foot ritual, you will feel so much better and gain softer feet!

Beautify Those Tootsies With Sally Hansen Exfoliating Foot Products to Smooth and Help Avoid Pain! (Review)

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Sally Hansen Sole Control 2-Step Foot File (left), Soften Your Step, and Pumice Foot Polish (right).

Summer is when you need your feet to look their best.  After all, you have new sandals to wear and don't want to scare potential admirers off with ugly rough skin, let alone corns and calluses when you expose them swimming or sunning.   Exfoliating will smooth and soften them, but also help you avoid cracked heels.  However, I got you covered with several Sally Hansen exfoliating foot products with their Pumice Foot Polish, the Soften Your Step, and Sole Control 2-Step Foot File.

The first product I wanted to test was that Pumice Foot Polish.  This is lavender scented, grainy scrub that can be used to get rid of any rough, dry skin.  Besides lavender, there is also tea tree oil so this foot polish can smooth, nourish, and deodorize.  

Although you can work with this product on wet feet as well as dry, I found it did a better job when I rubbed those granules against my fresh washed, dry feet to help in getting rid of rough skin.  This was really nice for softening the soles of your feet.  However, I found it a wonderful aid in dealing with a corn even more.  

Even after one use, the Pumice Foot Polish was helping break down my corn more gently than other things that can also hurt.  I definitely will keep using this to fix that corn and recommend it to anyone else suffering the price of what  our stylish high heels can often do to us.  Follow with foot cream, lotion, or even body butter and your feet are softer and you're good to go.
  
The Soften Your Step pedicure tool that  I received is handy to own with two sides to exfoliate heels and soles.   One side has a ceramic stone and the other has a brush.  

Here's what I did.  I soaked my feet first before washing and drying them to soften the skin the best I could.  I worked with brush first to help gently work over the area.  Next, I followed with the ceramic stone side and rubbed over my heels and soles gently.  I prefer using  this gradually than overworking and causing raw skin, but it does help in smoothing that area with a bit more vigor.  I always followed with my foot cream to further help the softening cause along.

Sally Hansen's Sole Control was the last product I was sent with the most exfoliation power for tougher problems like calluses or super thick, rough skin.  This is another two-step foot file with coarse and finer grit sides. 

I followed the same steps as I did with the Soften Your Step and it does help with roughness.  However, I don't recommend trying this on your corns because this is the most extreme method of the three and they are tender enough without attempting to hurry the process along.  All other tough skin is wonderful to tackle with this.

I do like what these Sally Hansen pedicure products have done for my feet and think they are well worth looking into!

Cradle Your Feet in Comfort, Like I Do--Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles for Women (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles for Women

Being a BzzAgent puts you in touch with a lot of great products to test.  This time I was recruited to test out Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles for Women and voice my opinion.

I was eager to put them in my sneakers.  Once I cut them to the appropriate line to fit inside, I was ready to go once I removed the original insoles as recommended for getting the best fit. 

After I put them on, I decided I would give my feet a whirl.  All shoes on carpeting always feel comfortable, even the ones that can hurt later when they hit the pavement. Therefore, I thought a trip to the mall  and some leisurely shopping was in order.  

These insoles definitely felt my feet more comfortable for those hours that I was on my feet.  I had a bounce to my step and felt less tired later that afternoon when I returned home.

Truly, I never realized how much of a wonderful difference this insole made, but I am now hooked on Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles and am looking into more options for my other shoes!

Have you discovered Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles yet?  Check out the collection--and make your feet happy. Look for the $2.00 coupon at that link as well--and get even happier!
