I love scrubs! There’s nothing more satisfying than slapping off dead, dry skin off the face and body and leaving it fresher and smoother in look and feel. I use an exfoliator for my face which I use once or twice a week. Body scrubs I adore but I should use them more often but I forget. But what about using one specifically for the feet? This isn’t something that was in my body care collection until recently, but felt it was needed. I purchased Aldi’s Lacura Exfoliating Foot Scrub under a month ago,for £4.99 for 300g.
Why did I buy this?
It actually is a product I need! My feet are neglected and they need lots of TLC. Genuinely, I don’t think any body scrubs I use currently are hard working enough on the feet, so a separate product is needed. This is a new product from Aldi so it already caught my attention. Also, it contains good moisturising ingredients and for the size and price this made such a good buy.
What is this?
An exfoliating scrub that will remove dead skin leaving skin softer and smoother plus moisturising the feet as well.
Fragrance
This smells like tea tree. Not identical to pure tea tree but similar. This scrub has a cooling feel to it fragrance wise. Clean in scent, almost aromatherapy like but not eye watering in strength. I like how this smells and perfect for the body parts it’s made for.
Texture
Not what you would expect. I thought this would be similar to a balm but it’s not. It’s white in colour, looks thick and solid and has a slight sheen to it. When I scooped some out and broke the surface, it actually was very soft, almost whipped in texture. I could feel the grains in it so it’s not totally smooth, but the texture is quite luxurious and has a slip to it.
Ingredients
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond Oil), Sodium Chloride (Salt), Maris Sal (Dead Sea Salt), Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrosperium Parki Butter (Shea Butter), Parfum, PEG-20, Glyceryl Triisosterate, Linalool.
In Use
I used about a finger tip and a half of foot scrub per foot. Rubbing this in, I could feel how soft this scrub was as it melted and coated my feet. My feet looked like I had applied some form of oil or balm to it as it had a shine to them and an oily feel, yet had a slightly creamy look to it. While rubbing this in I did notice the particles that made the scrub weren’t all the same size or circular. Compared to a body scrub I would say these exfoliating pieces were slighter bigger and rougher, and with plenty in it.
The fragrance was there while using this. With hay fever blocking my nose and making me sensitive to smells, this was very comforting and not irritating at all to take in.
Feet After
Bare in mind this was after one application. But my feet did look and feel smoother and softer. There was a difference, and I was pleased how semi human they looked after application compared to before. I didn’t follow it up with a foot cream, I just brought my Aveeno body lotion down from the body to my feet. I was very happy with the first application and excited to use it again.
Negatives?
Just the one! I really wish the exfoliant pieces in this weren’t so irregular in shape and size. They weren’t massive, but I think smoother particles would be nicer to use and safer if you are heavy handed in application.
Recommended?
I enjoyed using this. It’s a practical product but it was so nice to use. The texture was beautiful, easy to apply with a great scent to it. This product delivered what it was supposed to do just after one application. But to keep this up and see a better result, you would need to use this more and regularly. For the amount of product you get and the price I think this is great value and totally recommended! Ideal for general feet maintenance, perfect for getting feet Summer ready and I think the guys may like too!
