I have never used a foot scrub before. My Beauty Queen Mother told me it was the next best thing to a pedicure... mind you my idea of that is a nice barefoot walk on a beach. Nonetheless, she was actually amazed that this foot scrub was handmade and not sold by a larger marketing company like Philosophy or one of those other overprices Sephora brands.
It smells glorious. It is an intoxicating aroma of rosemary which really picks you up and the lavender is in the undertones which also calms you down. It is a wonderful combination of scents. And as you bend over to apply it and massage your feet, the scent really is just wonderful. It is very relaxing yet it is uplifting. It really embodies the ambiance of the spa in your own home.
The texture is thick and coarse, but not so much that it can scratch and hurt you. As you rub it on the texture breaks down finer and finer is lightly tickles your skin. A little goes a long way with this scrub. I used roughly a nickle sized amount for each foot. This covered the top, bottom, to the joint in my ankle and everywhere and in between on my toes.
It really does scrub away dead skin. When I finished my right foot, I felt the left for a comparison and there was a drastic difference in smoothness. It was very noticeable. I massaged my feet for about ten minutes per foot. I do not know if this is excessive, but the results were well worth it!
The only negative about this scrub is that the scent fades very fast. I thought, like soap sometimes does, the scent would linger on my feet, however it didn't. And if it were there, it was far to faint for me to notice.
Overall, for my first foot scrub and judging by the way my feet feel after a pedicure, I think $5 is a great investment. This doesn't take much time, the results are awesome, and if you do this two or three times a week with a practical amount, that 2 oz. container may last you a month or more! I know my little sample jar is on it's third use and still has a little less than half left.
