Boots Barefoot Doctor

Remember all those lovely Christmas presents you had? If you are anything like me you probably left them under the Xmas tree until you had time to try them out. Now a month has gone by and it’s time to look at those goodies, especially the beauty products. After all, a girl (or fellow) needs some time to find out if they are a). The best thing since sliced bread, or b). I’ll keep this one to send to Aunty Flo or Uncle Bert next Christmas! I had my fair share of beauty products (is someone trying to tell me something?) and being no different than the average consumer I had my first sample ... more

First of all i'd like to thank Ciao for adding this product to the site, I can now write about my favourite thing in the world - next to lipbalm, hair straighteners and vodka shooters. Back to the task in hand...Barefoot doctor are a range of toiletries classed under three categories. One range is to help you feel "damn sexy" as the packaging puts it, another range is for "boosting energy" and the final range is for "soothing and de-stressing". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where can i get these fabulous products?! Well, at the moment i've only seen them sold in Boots stores but let me know if ... more

For valentines day my husband bought me three of the products from the barefoot doctor range. I had never bought these myself as although the prices aren't ridiculous, I find better deals in my Avon books and am quite satisfied with these. The three products which I have tried are from the orgasmic range which is one of the several ranges available.

It has a kind of retro look to it. On the box are promises that this ... more

I was introduced to the Barefoot Doctor range via the miniatures counter at Boots in Meadowhall and the 3 for 2 offers at Boots.com (they've recently changed the site name, it used to be wellbeing.com - someone has finally seen sense!) At £1 to £2 a pop for mini bottles (taking into account offers like 3 for 2 etc), the miniatures counter is a great way of trying out new products as well as an opportunity to stock up the wash bag for the gym or going on holiday. I have to say that I am a natural sceptic, and rarely take any claims on packaging or advertising at face value, so my decision to ... more

For a long time I had wanted to give the Barefoot Doctor range a go - the funky, colourful packaging is an instant eye catcher when perusing the seemingly endless range of body care products on the shelves. The packaging design is bold and colourful and above all fun. The philosophy behind Barefoot Doctor is attributed to research by the Institute of Wayward Taoism. Taoism is a religion which began as a philosophy. It is connected to ancient natural remedies such as acupuncture, meditation and also the martial art tai-chi. However, as far as I can ascertain, the institute seems to be a wry ... more
