Foot Care Tried and Tested - Tiscali Shopping

What we thought:
Well I am always in the market to try and alleviate my long suffering feet. I suffer from very dry skin and try to avoid further cracks. Newtons cream comes in a tube and I recommend using very little each night after a bath and a bit in the morning if you remember.

On the tube it says that this cream is an "intensive, moisture-rich formula which penetrates deeply, repairing and protecting even the most cracked and dry feet. Easily absorbed and non-greasy, hard, dry skin becomes soft, supple and protected."

The active ingredients are urea, tea tree oil, aloe and iced peppermint, each of which works to heal, moisturise and freshen the feet.

" Apply liberally to clean, dry feet and massage gently until cream is absorbed. For intensive foot conditioning apply to feet after soaking and immediately before bed."

All I can say is - it works and my skin is softer and looks a lot better. So I would say the results are good and I would definitely recommend its use. In fact I only took a small amount as it goes a long way and it does take a few minutes to absorb. The smell is quite interesting and looking at the ingredients, you can see why. It's certainly not the most alluring night time aroma I have come across! A good product.

"Increases energy levels, relieves allergies, normalises blood circulation..."

What we liked: I applied the pads at night to the bottom of my (clean!)feet. I certainly didn't expect the gungy brown mess that had been extracted by the following morning! The pads are easy-to-use, work while you sleep and simply peel off in the morning.
What we weren't so keen on: It's difficult to ascertain how much of a benefit these pads have. I didn't feel any different; my only evidence that they were doing something was the goo they seemed to be extracting from my feet. I'm not 100% sure that they really are the best shortcut to detoxing your body.
