In the summer I am always in sandals or flip flops so I make an extra special effort to keep my feet looking great. I have to be able to show off my painted toes properly! Every night, when I do my super-fast pedicure treatment, I have been using Theraplex FT Exfoliating Emollient* ($21) on my feet. Before this product I did have a preferred treatment that I had been loyal to for a couple of years. Theraplex has trumped my old favorite, hands down! Some info from Theraplex:
“A dual-action treatment for dry skin and scaly, callused feet. Unique moisturizers provide immediate softness while beta hydroxy acid gently exfoliates unsightly rough, dry skin. Used daily, skin and feet become touchably softer, smoother and beautiful without the constant use of pumice stones or foot files! Hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, fragrance & preservative free.”
After my shower, I massaged this emollient into my feet and just let it do its thing. My feet have been soft and smooth ever since! There is a nice, cooling sensation (probably from the camphor) making it great for summer! If you need intense treatment you can cover feet with cotton socks after applying at night. I did not try this because I am just not good with wearing socks to bed, especially in this heat! I would certainly give it a go in the winter.
Overall, I agree with all the claims that this emollient will moisturize and exfoliate any rough, dry skin and my feet have become softer and smoother. I have been extremely happy with this product after using it daily for 4 weeks. I saw a difference after the first few uses. I will be reviewing some other Theraplex* products in the future so be on the lookout!
You can find Theraplex* FT Exfoliating Emollient at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Target etc and the Theraplex website. Check them out to keep you feet in great shape for sandals!
