Hola hola mi amor !
Sooooooo, I don't post on here much - in fact I don't post at all LOL
But I've said that I'll posting news here, updates and reviews .. And today it's a review post!
I've been given 3 products by Scholl Malta to test out, so buckle up and keep on reading :)
Scholl
Velvet Smooth
So, to start off - in Summer I have the MOST cracked and dry heels ever. I blame my constant wearing of flat sandals, my genetic dry skin and my habit of walking around barefoot. I'm also quite a busy fox, so I don't exactly have the time to sit down and rest my feet throughout the day.
Last Summer was so bad that my cracked heels where clinging with sheets and clothing arghhh I hated that! It didn't hurt and it wasn't as extreme to the extent of them being sore or bleeding but it was still very uncomfortable and annoying. I used one of those normal pedicure hard skin removing kits, and it did get better but the build up was still hard to get rid of and
it can also get tiring with all of the manual filing.
Anyways, this Summer everything will be different!
I got to try this new, innovative battery operated tool called Velvet Smooth Express Pedi* (which btw I've also seen pink ones online - Super Pretty) together with the Velvet Smooth Foot Soak* and the Velvet Smooth Essential Moisture*.
Now, first impressions on this dead skin remover was very positive. As I picked it up it felt of very good quality, not one of those light cheap plastic material things. It comes complete with 4 batteries inside which I've found so so great as it's ready to use, you just have to unscrew the lid and remove the plastic safety part and off you go removing nasty unwanted dead skin away!
I will briefly let you know what I did
1. I first soaked both my feet in the Velvet Smooth Foot Soak for 10-15minutes.
2. I then used the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi on the areas where I had hard skin. I kept on going on these areas until they felt soft and I was happy with the results.
3. I used the Velvet Smooth Essential Moisture to conclude the treatment.
Let me show you the amazing before and after.
Quite something right? I was literally amazed. I knew Scholl is a good brand and had very high expectations but I didn't think it was going to be this good in all honesty. Keep in mind this is after just one application. I'm not dreading Summer anymore now YAAYYYY!!
Also, the foot soak and moisturiser where lovely to use.

Please excuse the messy swatch - it's very runny >.< |
I expected this to have a stinging medical kind of scent, but it's totally the opposite.
It has a lovely scent and it really does absorb very quickly into the skin - BIG THUMBS UP!
I'm also applying this every night before bed so that I keep the skin as smooth as possible.
Now, some quick tips, rambling and generic info.
Do not apply too much pressure or press too hard otherwise the gadget will stop for safety reasons. I didn't have any issues with this,but it's suggested to not do so on the packaging. Once you're ready, detach the roller from the device and clean it with water. Let it dry, and put back in place. Do not wet the Express pedi. The same procedure can also be used to remove hard skin and callouses on the hands. You should not try to remove your hard skin and callouses on sore,bleeding,severely cracked skin etc you can inflict further damage.This treatment can be applied as often as you feel like, personally I will keep on doing so twice weekly so that I diminish any build up.
The Velvet Smooth Express Pedi costs 39.90 euros and it's not exactly cheap, BUT it's
fast, easy and effective and it's definitely cheaper than frequent visits to the pedologist. Plus hey, Summer is just round the corner and with our scorching hot weather this is definitely an investment - definitely recommend!
Do let me know what you think of them and how you've found them if you decide to purchase them!
These products can be purchased from all Scholl outlets and pharmacies.
