Feet Essentials

Do your feet ever get rough, dry, or flaky? The summertime is not the right time to be dealing with this problem, but if you are facing this dilemma don’t freak out. Just how you can exfoliate other parts of your body, you can do the same for your feet as well. Avon has a great foot scrub, it’s called Foot Works Tropical Coconut Sea Salt Foot Scrub. It smells delicious and reminds me of beachy days, which is perfect for the season. At $5, I’d say this is definitely a steal. It doesn’t take much time either. Apply the foot scrub to the necessary areas and leave for 2 to 3 minutes then rinse. Using a foot file scrub the dead skin off. You’ll have summer ready feet in no time. 

Maintaining great care of your feet is essential. Sabon’s Foot Cream prevents foot odor, fungus and softens your feet. The foot cream is based on menthol and camphor. Menthol gives it the fresh scent, while camphor is the number on antiperspirant. This is a foot care must-have. 

Blot the Shine Away

Spring is upon us. It’s time to bring the cute dresses out and throw some shades on. While the weather is beautiful, your face might not be agreeing with it. This is the season when oily skin is most problematic. Oily skin can’t be completely done away with, but it can be somewhat prevented.

Washing you face nightly is key. You don’t want the dirt and oils clogging your pores overnight. After washing away all the icky stuff try an astringent. Using a cotton ball you pat it all around your face. Not only is it great at helping to clear up your skin, but it removes the shine from your face. I use Biore’s Triple Action Astringent. It’s sensitive enough to use daily and doesn’t dry out my face.

Obviously you can’t go around patting your face with an astringent and that’s why blotting sheets were created. My faves are Clean&Clear’s Oil Absorbing Sheets. You pat the sheets all around your face, especially where you’re most oily. And wha–lah!… the greasy shine is gone. You can actually see the oil on the blotting sheets. It’s easy, discrete, and it fits in your purse. Don’t let unwanted shine on your face ruin this summer.

Look Pretty While Getting Skinny

I’ve seen just about every weight loss product out there so I’m not really shocked when something new comes out. I guess I hadn’t really seen it all, because there’s one that actually caught my attention. Who likes taking pills, drinking weird tasting concoctions, or doing those awful cleanses? Purple Lab has come up with an amazing product that’s more than just a weight loss tool. Big Lips, Skinny Hips is a lip gloss that plumps your lips and suppresses your appetite. The gloss consists of five main ingredients. Lemon peel oil cools the lips while the meadow foam moisturizes. The plumping is created by the Vitamin B3 in it. It stimulates the blood flow and gives you fuller lips. The gloss also has orange peel extract to help boosts your metabolism and Hoodia. Hoodia is a cactus-like plant found in southern Africa. It works as an appetite suppressant by making the brain think the body is full.

With a variety of flavors to choose from, there’s no way I’m only trying one.
