The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion > Reviews (22)

To follow on from my review of Peppermint Cooling PumiceFoot Scrub, I thought it would be a good idea to let you know the perfect treatment to finish your pampering.

You will no doubt be aware of my love for The Body Shop products by now, one of the reasons for this would have to be the fact that it does not test any of it’s products of animals along with the fact that most of their products do seem of a very good quality, Gawd now I sound like an advert lol.

This wonderful stuff comes packaged in a 250ml clear (although you can see the candy pink lotion) plastic squeezable bottle with a black flip top lid, a turquoise blue info label incorporating the Body Shop logo and an image of a set of feet with the words Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion printed in bold white text and toward the back of the bottle you find further information, ingredients etc.

To use:

Make sure feet are clean and dry, turn the bottle upside down and flip open the lid and squeeze a small amount into palm of your hand and gently massage into feet not forgetting your ankles, although it’s not necessary you will get better results using the Peppermint Cooling Pumice Scrub beforehand.

The lotion feels very cooling, it’s very runny so watch for the little blobs falling on the floor, maybe it would be a good idea to put a towel down first, the texture is very smooth and milky almost and absorbs very easily leaving no greasy residue, although I wouldn’t advise doing anything for a few minutes afterwards to give it a good chance to soak in.

I find rubbing this into to my feet makes me feel very relaxed, but for maximum pampering, I would recommend that you find someone to rub this into your feet for you, it’s just wonderful!

The smell is absolutely deelish although very strong, very mint imperials, please don’t try to taste, although you may feel tempted, it’s really not advisable as it contains peppermint and almond oils along with cocoa butter, together the scent is fantastic but it may taste very nasty!

I do use this mostly every day following showering or bathing, it does make your feet feel very fresh and clean, that, along with the oils (peppermint and almond) used, do help keep my footsies smelling nice and that is a bit of a task I can tell you, I wear pop socks (sexy I know) or tights to my office daily so the nylon tends not to bring out the best scent of my feet!

Cocoa Butter (made using cocoa beans from a Community Trade Programme in Ghana) is also used in making this wonderful lotion to help soften and yes it does make the skin on my feet feel softer and I don’t really get much bother with hard skin when I use this regularly.

I am not saying you will be quite ready for the New York Marathon (although it was invented for marathon runners in order to refresh their hot, tired feet, according to the Body Shop website), but you will definitely feel the benefit, but to gain maximum benefit as with anything, it’s best used as part of a regular routine.

It’s also suitable for all skin types.

If you decide to try it out for yourself trust me you will notice a difference immediately - fresh and revitalised footsies which do seem to remain for some time afterwards, and as I have mentioned before continued use does have huge benefits, unfortunately the next day the whiff is back again, but that could be the nylon in the tights, he he!

Would I use again??

I wouldn’t be without it now, I have used many foot products over the years and have never found anything to match the end result I find I get with using this and it’s great value at only £5.50 for a bottle. I do use regularly and 1 bottle usually lasts me around 6-8 weeks, definitely a worthwhile purchase and a necessity for everyone’s toiletries collection, male and female.

Craig has also used this in the past, well I should actually be honest here and say I have used this product on Craig and he loves it too, but then it could be the fact that I give him a foot massage that does it there!
