Once upon a time, this was how my poor feet looked like.
It aches my heart now to see how badly they were being mistreated.
Because they are the furthest organ from our face, so I always leave the dirty jobs to them ie shoving anything unpleasant that blocks my way. Who cares about peeping into one's shoes to check if their feet are in good condition?! But no, not when summer comes! Being spotted with feet that are covered with deadskins and callus can be quite.. image ruining.
Look.
They were so old and frail.
Not a pretty sight *gasps*
If I continue neglecting them I believe my nails will start to rot and my toes will start to shrink.
I am not sorry if you are reading this with food cause this could be how your feet look, or worse!
So this one fine day I came across this product.
Gamila Secret Feet Balm.
It says their products were made of 100% natural ingredients.
There are a lot of hand creams in the market, but you don't always see feet cream. Feet creams are usually placed in a corner where nobody will bother passing by UNLESS you have really bad feet problem or you need an insole. This is also because most people do not take care of their feet until problems develop.
I love things that are made of natural ingredients that was why I picked chose them amongst so many other products.
I applied them after I scrubbed my feet in shower every night before I hit the bed. And then wrapped my feet with a pair of comfy stockings. Protecting them with stockings do not only help keep my bed sheet clean from the cream, that also helped ensure maximum absorption of the balm.
The balm smelled a little bit minty, which can be quite rejuvenating.
In just few days, I have seen improvements. Dead skins under my feet were softened and the skin on my feet has become more radiant.
Picture was taken after a week of application :))))
That awesome moment when you feel so comfortable and carefree in your favourite sandals.
My feet haven't felt this young!
Okay enough with feet pictures.
Hand creams can be more commonly found. They usually comes with really pleasant scents. Because of that, I have some 4-5 unfinished hand creams at home.
Shamelessly, I have added another one onto my collection.
I can't resist the packaging that's why. *gasps*
See the cap looks like some stones you can find in Bali.
Just so you know, I am a hand talent.
To me, having a pair of healthy and young-looking hands is very important. My hands were being engaged by Celcom and Maggi for one of their many print ads. Checkout my print ad with Celcom on "Media and Appearance" column at the bar beneathe the header of my blog. My hand shot with Maggi will be released this Chinese New Year.
Our hands are subjected to "wear and tear" which can lead to dryness and unhealthy nails.
Hands that are not well-taken care of reveals your age, no matter how young your face look! You don't always see me in nail polishes because I want my nails to look naturally healthy instead of yellowish and fragile. So usually I will apply hand cream together onto my nails to keep them supple and moist.
The texture of Gamila Secret's hand creams are less thicker compare to their feet cream.
You know right, feet has thicker and more stubborn dead skin so you need something extra powerful to deal with them.
I love it not oily.
Just like their feet cream, their hand cream was made of 100% natural ingredients plus it is water resistant so you can continue with your housework/water-activities without worrying them from wearing off.
One similar trait that both their hands and feet cream share is that they can be very quickly and easily absorbed by your skins!
