With a toddler it is limited how much time I have to myself, and I will happily admit that my feet are one of the first things to be neglected – and summer only seems to make my feet look even drier and hence even worse, which is not something that thrills me seeing I live in sandals most of the summer. But I’ve found some products which can help make your feet feel (almost) as soft as baby feet in record time. Here are my thoughts on the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File and Smooth Intense Serum;
What They Say:
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File is an electronic foot file that effectively removes hard skin on the foot. The ergonomically shaped device features a fast rotating micralumina head that makes easy work of hard skin, exfoliating the foot through a gentle and safe rotating action. The foot file comes with a replaceable head for up to 12 treatments, and is ready to use with four AA batteries included. Skin is left smooth and soft after application.
RRP: $49.99 – Available from Priceline, pharmacies, variety stores and supermarkets
Scholl Velvet Smooth Intense Serum provides intense hydration for dry feet. It contains hyaluronic acid and green caviar to deliver hydration. The formula also features petavitin, which binds to the skin’s keratin to maintain moisture balance. The serum should be applied after using the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi or whenever skin is feeling dry.
RRP: $14.99 (30ml) - Available from Priceline, pharmacies, variety stores and supermarkets
What I Say:
The Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File is basically an electronic foot file that works with the use of AA batteries, and it quickly removes hard skin on the foot, yet it is so gentle that you don’t need to worry that it will shave too much off. If you have very dry feet, it does get a little messy as the dead skin cells are shaven off, so I recommend doing it either outside, or at least sit with a towel underneath.
The bright blue device has an ergonomically shaped handle that is easy to hold, and it has a simple on and off switch and one speed. It has a rotating micralumina head – which is the sand paper that files your feet through its rotating action. It is claimed that the foot file is good for up to 12 treatments, but I am yet to use it that many times to see if that is true, but I guess that it essentially depends on how dry and cracked your feet are. But the good thing is that you can buy replacement heads for $19.95 for two new heads, so you don’t have to buy a whole new foot file, which helps justify the high $49.95 outlay.
It is a little noisy, but I guess that most electronic devices are, including for instance my epilady shaver or even my facial brush!
I have been using the Scholl Velvet Smooth Intense Serum along with the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File for the past few weeks, and it works an absolute treat. The Foot File is quick and easy to use, but when combining with the Intense Serum you get the softest feet you’ll ever have. As soon as you apply it, you can simply both see and feel the results. The skin is visibly smoother and silky soft, and any signs of dry skin instantly disappear.
It comes in a convenient pump bottle and it has a lovely fresh fruity and floral fragrance. The Intense serum contains hyaluronic acid and green caviar and it really does deliver intense hydration, as well as it contains petavitin, which binds to the skin’s keratin to maintain moisture balance all day.
Most foot creams that I have previously tried are thick and sticky, so they take forever to absorb into the skin, and the last thing you want to do is put on your shoes afterwards. But not with the Intense Serum, it is so light and thin, it spreads so quickly and easily, and instantly absorbs into the skin, without any greasiness or stickiness. It is amazing that such a light serum can offer such an intense moisturisation!
At $14.99 for a small 30ml bottle, you may think it is expensive, I mean, foot creams usually come in larger tubes, but don’t be fooled, as it is seriously concentrated so just one small pump of the serum per foot is more than sufficient.
Overall, I am really enjoying using this Express Pedi Foot File and the Smooth Intense Serum as these products really do cut down on the time it takes to keep my feet soft and smooth, and use by use, it takes shorter and shorter to maintain my feet. So if you, like me, have dry feet, then I highly recommend that you try this Express Pedi Foot File along with the serum too. You won’t regret it. I know I am enjoying wearing sandals a little more this summer, knowing my feet are the softest and smoothest they’ve ever been.
