Hi My Beauties,
Summer is (hopefully) on its way and time to break out those filp flops and sandals, If you are anything like me and suffer with dry skin this time of year can be a right pain. I am gonna give you some tips that I follow to reduce the dryness on my feet and keep them as soft as I can.
1. Have a lovely bath or foot spa, I always opt for a bubble bath my current favourite is Imperial Leather Jasmine Spa (£1.59) I soak in the bath with some tunes for at least 30 minutes.
2. Once out of the bath I use a ped egg (£9.99) all over the bottoms of my feet where i get the most dry, I always use the ped egg whilst my feet are still wet as this aids with the dry skin coming off.
3. I cover my feet with a thick layer of Ahava Dermud Intensive foot cream* (£18.00) or Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Cream (£4.99) (Full review coming soon) all over my feet and then put on some thick socks.
4. I leave the socks on over night so that my feet absorb the cream leaving them lovely and soft.
5. I choose a nail polish and make my nails look pretty, in my case the skin around the nails gets made pretty too cause I'm awful at painting nails. I am currently sporting Illamasqua Scorch (£14.50)
5. To keep my feet soft and free from dryness I apply a thin coat of the favoured foot cream all over my feet daily.
There you have it my 5 steps to soft and silky feet which takes no time at all and its a great way to pamper yourself :)
If you have any other tips leave them in the comments as I am sure we would all love to hear them

Just before Christmas the lovely people at Ahava offered me the chance to try out their foot cream and after trying their face mask/scrub I jumped at the chance.
Unfortunately my personal life got in the way hence the lack of most posts but I am finally able to bring you the review.
I have always had slight dryness on my feet so I was really looking forward to seeing if this would ease the dryness prior to Christmas period with the possible need to wear heels.
The cream is very thick and luxurious to the touch, not overly greasy, sinking into the skin fairly quickly. The smell is lovely and not overpowering at all, I actually found the smell very relaxing.
My already soft skin did instantly feel softer, the dryer parts didn't really have an effect but, this product is something to be used over time to improve the skin in that area which indeed it does. I used the cream daily after bathing and showering and did one intensive session by applying a thick layer prior to bed and adding a warm pair of socks.
After one week of using this product and the intensive session I noticed a major improvement on the heels of my feet. The dryness in that area had significantly reduced.
What Ahava say about this product: an ultra-rich, soothing formula that leaves dry, rough and cracked feet feeling remarkably soft, supple and comfortable.
This product is not the cheapest on the market but I highly recommend it for those of you that suffer with dry feet and haven't found relief thus far.
I plan on posting before and after images after a further weeks session as I never actually got the chance to do this before and as with everything the proof is in the pudding.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this and will look forward to the images once I get chance to bring that to you in the next few weeks.
You can buy ahava's foot cream from For £18 for 100mls of product and can be purchased directly from Ahava's website
