Last week I purchased some Lush foot scrub ‘Stepping Stone’
to try on my awful cracked, dry and painful feet. I tried it when I bought it and promised to come back and let you
know what I thought of it…………
Initial smell of the product is very strong. The first scent that hits me was that of
Lemongrass. It really is quite strong,
but in a nice way. It’s quite fresh. It also contains lemon oil and lime oil, so
it’s a fresh citrus smell.
I originally tried this by breaking off the big toe of the
foot and dissolving it in a dish of warm water, before soaking my feet in it
(advised by the lovely lady in Lush when I purchased this). I soaked my feet for 15 minutes in the water
before starting to rub in the scrub.
I’m quite lucky to have such a nice husband who doesn’t mind massaging
my feet J
so was quite pleased when he offered to give me a foot rub. My hubby tried to rub a bit in, but it just
crumbled up in his hands. He then broke
a piece off, dampened it with a bit of the warm water and made a paste-like
consistency with it, before massaging it into my feet.
Once I got over the initial shock of how cold it felt, I
quite enjoyed it being rubbed into the soles of my feet. It didn’t feel like it was rough. My husband described it as feeling like he
was rubbing ‘wet sand’ into my feet. The smell was still very strong, but not
too overpowering. In fact it was quite
relaxing. Husband massaged it for 10-15
minutes in each foot, before I popped my feet back in the dish of water to
rinse off the excess product and dried them.
Result? I didn’t
think my feet looked any different, but hubby said they felt so much
softer. I also noticed that they didn’t
feel as achy and sore as they normally do (I have problems with my feet which
causes me to walk strangely, and causes great pain in the soles of my feet), so
was pleased with that. Whether this was
due to the product itself or the fact I had a nice massage, I can’t say for
sure, but if it works………..The following day my husband commented again that my
feet still felt really soft and the dry skin was less visible particularly
around my heels and the sides of my feet.
I’m now giving it a bash for the 2nd time in a
hope that I get the same effect. I
haven’t soaked my feet in the product before rubbing it in this time. My feet were also dry before rubbing in the
product to see if I can get a different result from the product. I’m hoping that if I keep using this product
every week or so, that I may not suffer as many problems as I do with my feet –
dry cracked skin, which becomes painful, eczema in the summer. I’m also hoping that it preps my feet in
time for wearing strappy sandals in the summer months J.
I’ve just rinsed off the product, and hubby has dried them
for me. My feet are actually feeling
really soft and apparently ‘smell nice’ according to my hubby. He said his hands feel a lot softer too, so
double whammy with this one!
Think this is definitely going on the ‘regular’ to buy list
from Lush. I got 2 scrubs so far out of
my whole ‘foot’ and there’s enough for a 3rd one, so not too bad for
a nice treat for your feet!
