Spring is here and that means it's almost time to get your sandals out! A good pedicure routine is so important and it's one of the areas that I always forget to look after and pamper. Here are my thoughts on the ClearZal pedicure products and my tips for a DIY perfect pedi!
I received a lovely package from ClearZal including: a foot file, clippers, foot cream, foot soak and a foot scrub to create a thorough pedicure routine for spring/summer ready tootsies! Firstly the *ClearZal Tea Tree Foot Soak which comes in a huge tub and the soak is bright blue. The soak smells very clean, fresh and minty; it contains tea tree which is a natural antiseptic. It's a refreshing foot soak that preps the skin for the next step.
The next step involves the *ClearZal Exfoliating Foot Scrub which smells lovely and fruity; it contains pumice, essential oils and aloe vera. The scrub is very gentle, I personally would like something with more scrubbing particles in it. Top tip: mixing scrubs and shower products together to get the exfoliation you need. Next up the *ClearZal Foot File which sounds a bit gross but it is very exfoliating, it's not something I would use very often. Top tip: if you cut your nails straight after a bath or shower they will cut easier; the *ClearZal clipper is effective and quick to use although they look a little like a mini torture device!
Lastly, my favourite step, once the skin is completely dry I always use a foot cream. The *ClearZal Foot Food Nutritional Creme contains aloe, rosemary, thyme and lavender so it smells gorgeous and so relaxing. The cream is very moisturising and I love to use a thick layer before bed with my moisturising/cotton socks on top so in the morning there is no dryness at all! The *ClearZal Busy Feet Energising Creme is better for the morning as it smells so refreshing and clean but I am not a massive fan of minty scents on the whole. Finish with a coat or two of polish, I was kindly sent two of the Rimmel 60 second polishes as well and I love them. Top tip: soak your freshly painted nails in a sink/bowl of very cold water for 30 seconds to help them dry quicker.
Overall, I am really happy with the ClearZal products I have tried, especially the scrub which even though it is gentle, it's a nice products to use and the foot food creme which I LOVE. Top tip: water and humidity soften the skin so use foot scrubs and body scrubs as they will be very effective.
