Dr. Scholl's Foot Cream Mousse

This post is not for you if you have feet that can sport dainty looking sandals with thin straps, or stillettos that show off a lot of feet skin, or for that matter, anything apart from closed shoes. For the less fortunate rest of us, here's a godsend. I picked it up from Foodworld, and I love it!

Take it from me - I have a perennial problem of dirty looking feet, I mean the dry skin makes it white and scaly and of course, ugly. I have a bottle of moisturiser on my worktable to keep my feet lookable. And I have tried several things: olive oil/vaseline petroleum jelly are good, and reasonable effective, but you can't apply them during the day unless you want to feel sticky and attract a lot of dust, or during the night if you don't want to end up with oily bedsheets. Normal skin moisturisers (in the recent past I have tried St. Ives intense moisturising Aloe and Chamomille lotion, Marks & Spencer Hand & Body Lotion, our own Vaseline Body lotion) are very simply ineffective.

But this one, Dr. Scholl's Foot Cream Mousse is very good. On the face of it, it is a simple moisturiser that claims to soften dry skin, keep the feet hydrated. However, the texture is like shaving foam, so it is light on the feet. And it is really effective. 24 hours after the first application, my feet did not have white areas. Priced at Rs.200 for can (that claims to have enough for 160 applications), it aint all that expensive. After all, who doesn't like healthy looking feet!

Well, I've been through just 3 applications, so it'll be a wait-and-watch for a final verdict, but I am loving it so far :)

I completely empathize with Vidya, the author of the blog, here. After trying a myriad of "to the rescue" creams/therapy washes/professional pedicure (please dont bother about the price tag thats attached to it these day) my husband happened to spot this Dr.Scholls wonder foot mousse on the rack. (Ok women who read this can stop with the Ooohs. My feeling was maybe he was trying to strongly hint at something! Bah!! Men) So at the beginning i was quite skeptical of its effects but Lo!! It actually did work!! I used it for almost two weeks regularly, followed the intsructions to the tee and it seems to have worked. So far so good is what i must say.

Of course this story didnt have the happy ending like in stories where my husband spotted the difference but am happy for myself and most importantly for my feet!!

Hurrah and cheers to Dr.Scholl's!!
