If you are a runner, you know that your heels and bottoms of your feet are hard to keep smooth. It is especially difficult during the Summer months when open toed shoes and sandals are what you wear most often.
I was recently contacted by a representative for Arm & Hammer to try out one of their newest products to help with this very problem.
The brand new Heels and Feet Moisturizer plus Gentle Exfoliators ($8.69) is a foot cream containing coconut oil & AHA exfoliants that restores and moisturizes feet, and prevents dry cracked heels. It includes a no touch sanitary massaging brush that allows for quick, easy & mess free application, and is gentle enough for daily use.
As soon as I received it, I started testing it out. Unlike other creams that have harsh exfoliating particles, and overly minty that may irritate sensitive skin, this cream is extremely gentle and able to be used on both the tops and bottoms of your feet. The Alpha Hydroxy Acid formula gradually softens your skin from within, to reveal ultra soft to the touch heels and feet over time.
It took about 2 weeks to start seeing softer heel results. However, you can speed up the process by combining the moisturizer with other products in your pedicure regime. You can use a foot scrub or pumice stone in the shower, or heel file while your feet are still damp out of the shower. Follow up by applying the moisturizer to make sure all of the layers beneath stay hydrated as your skin cells turn over.
Runners no longer have to be embarrassed about their heels, and can go from sneakers to flip flops with ease. I’d suggest keeping this in your body care routine throughout the year to ensure you always have smooth feet after any activity, even if its just from standing on your feet everyday or more intense fitness routines that add a lot of pressure to your feet.
The Heels & Feet Moisturizer is currently available at select CVS stores nationwide, and CVS Online. If you are interested in learning more about this moisturizer, or any of the other products from Arm & Hammer for feet, visit Arm & Hammer Foot Care Online.
