We all know the dry winter weather dries out our skin, but let’s not forget those little 10 little piggies! I hate to admit it but my feet are a dry callused mess in the winter time. There are two must-have products for those crime scene paws–Bare Foot Repair! for Callus Softening and Bare Foot Repair! for Cracked Heels. After using these two products, your footsies will be sexy sandal worthy.
Freeman Beauty Foot Repair! for Callus Softening ($6.99) – this callus softening cream exfoliates rough, dry skin without harsh abrasives while paraffin helps to soften skin leaving it feeling smooth. I used to use a PediEgg but honestly, too often I would get carried away and end up with sore, slightly bloody feet. The texture of this is thick and paste-like, just spread on a thin layer to clean, dry feet and wait about 10 minutes for it to dry. Then gently rub and all the dry dead skin comes sloughing off–even the super dry skin! The peppermint has a cooling effect and smells good too. I was amazed at how well this did at exfoliating and it left my feet very soft and smooth.
Key ingredients include:
- Paraffin – an emollient that works to smooth and soften skin
- Shea Butter – maintains hydration and skin elasticity
- Karanja Oil – provides intense hydration
- Neem Oil – a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the Neem evergreen tree plus contains anti-fungal properties
- Rosemary Leaf Oil – acts as an antiseptic for dry skin
- Peppermint Oil – serves to cool and smooth overheating skin to relieve pain and keep fungal and bacterial growth in check. It also nourishes dull skin and improves skin conditions.
Freeman Beauty Foot Repair! for Cracked Heels ($6.99) – this foot balm penetrates deeply to replenish skin’s moisture and deliver instant relief to severely dry, cracked heels. This balm has a fresh avocado-cucumber scent and is super moisturizing. I rubbed it in and then slept with cotton socks on and the next morning my feet were like new!
Key ingredients:
- Urea – helps accelerate the process of skin cell regeneration and has very high water-binding power to keep skin moisturized.
- Karanja Oil – provides intense hydration
- Neem Oil – a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the Neem evergreen tree plus contains anti-fungal properties
- Peppermint Oil – serves to cool and smooth overheating skin to relieve pain and keep fungal and bacterial growth in check. It also nourishes dull skin and improves skin conditions.
- Glycerin – a humectant that binds with water molecules and holds them in skin cells as it replicates the role of your skin’s own natural moisturizing factor.
Freeman products are sold at Duane Reade, Harmon, Walgreens, Walmart and select retailers nationwide.
Bottom Line: At $7 for a full 3.4 oz of each tube, this is a steal! Both of these products are highly effective and cost effective! If your little piggies are in need of some pampering, head to the nearest drugstore and pick up both of these Freeman Bare Foot Repair! products!
