Body Recipe's Foot Scrub

This foot scrub is available in HBC stores. It is very affordable because it costs P65.00 only and weighs 60mL.  So that would be P1.08/mL.

There are other variations like Blueberry, Ginger, Mango, Cocoa Butter. I chose the Lemongrass to pair it with the Lemongrass Foot Balm.

The front print indicates:

  • Apricot kernel exfoliates dead skin cells and helps remove skin calluses
  • Peppermint Oil invigorates skin while plant extracts and Vitamin E keep feet moisturized
  • Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.



The directions for use and ingredients are listed at the back. Some of the important ingredients are Apricot Seed powder, Vitamin E, Avocado Extract, Peppermint Oil and Lemon Grass Essential Oil.


The scrub has reddish brown scrub beads and has a tint of light green but it would not make your skin green. The consistency is not thick. You do not need to add water or mix it with liquid soap. The scrub beads are somehow big and doesn't dissolve.

I use it once or twice a week. It has a slight menthol effect or feel on the skin. After a few days I noticed that some parts of my feet are exfoliating but it doesn't hurt.

I advice that you use gloves when using this scrub as it can also dry the hands.

Over all I would rate (1-10, 10 being highest) it as 9. I prefer a thicker consistency.

Body Recipe Foot Balm

I bought this Foot Balm in HBC recently. It costs P65.00 and weighs 60mL. It is very affordable and I think the price is just right for the amount it contains.

There are other variations like Blueberry, Ginger, Mango, Cocoa Butter. I chose the Lemongrass because of the information on the front.
  • Enriched with lemongrass extract that invigorates skin
  • Soothes and revives tires aching legs
  • Non-greasy and moisturizes skin.

Front

The ingredients are listed on the back. Some of the important ingredients are Allantoin, Vitamin E, Avocado Extract and of course Lemon Grass Essential Oil.

Back

The balm has a tint of light green but it would not color your skin. The consistency is not thick. After applying it my skin feels smooth.
It is not greasy and cools the skin like menthol.


Over all I would rate (1-10, 10 being highest) it as 8. I prefer a thicker foot balm and also I wish it has SPF.
