Lavilin recommended for gorgeous smelling feet

If you have a shoe collection anything like Carrie Bradshaw's it may take some time to pick out the perfect pair every day.

One thing however that never goes with Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin is foot odor. 

So we were really thrilled when RunningWithHeels.com did an article about keeping feet fresh and fine, naturally. 

As they write:

The cause of annoying odor is bacteria. Our feet are covered with sweat glands and when they’re cooped up inside shoes all day, those glands go to work. Dark and damp conditions inside our shoes are where bacteria and fungi like to make home sweet home, but surprisingly it’s not their presence that causes the odor. Yes, it gets grosser. The bacteria consume both the sweat and dead skin cells from our feet, and it’s their waste product that actually starts to smell.

RWH then goes on to recommend several eco friendly products/methods to help the situation.  Baking Soda, Tea Tree Oil, and our client Lavilin's Foot Deodorant were among these. 

ShoeBlogger, another fabulous site, picked up the story as well and added their own spin.  Lavilin still made the cut, with a link to some user reviews from amazon.com.  Lavilin sells for $16 for about .5 oz.

It's almost summer - grab some pine.

A shoe fetish in the summer time calls for amazing looking feet! 

There is just no way those Jimmy Choos will work with dry heels, and un-groomed toes. 

Our client Beauty Feet offers one of the best home care products for keeping feet in “sandal-ously” sexy condition.

Beauty Feet is a remarkable new product just rolling out in the United States. 

It's made from all natural things. 

These include Pinus Sylvestris (Pine) leaf (when was the last time you looked at a Pine tree and saw a beauty treatment?)

The reality is that Pine extract is an amazing skin balancing ingredient that really works wonders. 

Vitamins A & E help stimulate cell rejuvenation, while Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid add moisture and softness. 

Heres a wonderful, easy pedicure for home:

Take half cup of regular sugar, blend it with ¼ cup lemon juice, and a tablespoon olive oil.  Soak feet for a few minutes in warm water to soften, then use the sugar mixture to exfoliate and invigorate skin. 

Then smooth on Beauty Feet and cover with clean cotton booties.  For an extra fabulous treat, slip into a pair of heated lavender spa booties, and relax.

The results will be legion! And you'll be ready for even the skimpiest sandals. 

Beauty Feet is available in a Moisturizing Gel - $16 for 100 cc; and a more intensive Beauty Feet Roll On - $16 for 80 cc's.
