It’s warming up nicely in the UK this week. It’s making me think of three things. Firstly, I really need to do a massive Spring clean from top to bottom of my house. Secondly, I need a new wardrobe as I have zero clothes that will be a benefit to wear in this weather. And thirdly, I’ve just remembered I have something called feet and I NEED to give them the love and attention that my constant socks and trainers have neglected to give them. So my latest purchases from Aldi have come at the right time! My possible feet saviours come in the form of Lacura’s Exfoliating Foot Scrub and Moisturising Foot Cream.
Why did I buy these?
I swear I only went into the store for milk and bread! I didn’t even take in a carrier bag! But these were positioned close to the front door so my eyes fixed onto them instantly and I knew these were new products. Close inspection revealed these two products were for the feet. And my poor size 7’s need a good pampering right now. I currently have no foot products in my body care stash so these were a necessity.
Lacura’s Exfoliating Foot Scrub
Not only is the scrub designed to exfoliate and remove dead skin, but also to add moisture and smooth the skin on the feet thanks to ingredients such as Shea butter. You know what excites me about this? This is a whopping 300g size! When I opened this up..I gasped! It looks so incredibly rich and inviting, almost a solid balm type texture. The fragrance I think is tea tree, which should leave the feet not only smooth and soft but fragrantly fresh too.
Lacura’s Moisturising Foot Cream
I think this is a dupe of a brand called L’Occitane. L’Occitane are known for having hand and foot products that contain high percentages of Shea butter (which this does have at 15%). Plus the packaging of this has some similarities to L’Occitane’s hand and foot care products. A quick sniff of this indicates this has the same fragrance as the foot scrub, so definitely a marriage made in heaven. This is 125ml in size which is an amazing amount of product and should last a good number of months.
Should these be bought ready for Spring & Summer?
Let’s be honest. Unless you have been super diligent in your body care routine from top to toe, most of us will NEED some form of products for the feet. We want them smooth, soft, supple, moisturised and ready to slip into more open style footwear. So what do we need? Like the rest of our body, to prep it, an exfoliator and a moisturiser, and this dynamic duo are indeed those items. I haven’t tried these yet, but having a look at the textures and ingredients these could be two very good products that should be on your shopping list. And the cost? The Exfoliating Foot scrub for 300ml is £4.99 and the Moisturising Foot Cream is £2.99.
Brilliant value for money. BUT is the quality there and how good are they? Keep your eyes open for a more in depth review on this, it’s coming!
