"The skin texture changed, the look of my heels changed totally for the better - so much nicer in slides - and I found myself stroking my feet, which, believe me, hasn't happened since I could crawl out of the playpen."
Kiss My Face, an all-natural body care company, has extended its line to foot care, and the foot care is fabulous.
The company's peppermint foot scrub exfoliates and polishes with natural pumice and crushed walnut shells. Sounds rough, but it is really pleasurable. I worked it on my sad looking feet three times a week, including the soles, and it not only restored them to smoothness, it woke me up in the morning. The cr me, also peppermint is, if anything, even better than the scrub. It's difficult to explain just how wonderful the effect is - very rich and not at all greasy.
With most products you're told that you need to use it for a week or more before you see any change, but that is certainly not true of these. From the first time I used it there was a real difference, one that increased over the two weeks I tried it out. The skin texture changed, the look of my heels changed totally for the better - so much nicer in slides - and I found myself stroking my feet, which, believe me, hasn't happened since I could crawl out of the playpen.
Kiss My Face is the brainchild of two vegetarians who founded on a 200-acre organic farm in New York's Hudson River Valley and has been operating out of a converted barn and feed store since the 1980s. The company now creates more than 150 natural bath, skin-care and home products sold in 19 countries, and they have kept their prices very affordable.
They contend that using natural and organic personal care products is of equal or greater value to your health as consuming natural and organic foods, referencing a Good Housekeeping Institute comment that, while the body's digestive system is actually designed to filter out impurities, the skin, as the body's largest organ, absorbs 60% of what is put on it directly into the bloodstream.
Both the scrub and the luscious cr me are priced at $9; visit their website at www.kissmyface.com.
