Review: Burt's Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion

Normally by the middle of July, my summer footcare regime is in full swing. This year, I am still optimistic that my toes will see some sun rather than being encased in wellies and Converse the entire time, and so that I am prepared for any sudden outbursts of sun, I  have been maintaining my routine.

Burt's Bees is a brand I admire for its commitment to only using natural ingredients in their products. I'm tried a few of their products and had varying results but, in general, I really admire their ethos.  I also find the name humorous for no particular reason!

Their peppermint foot lotion is exactly the way a foot cream should be- rich, quick absorbing and with a strong peppermint scent.

It absorbs quickly and I've been slathering this on 2-3 time a week underneath a pair of cotton socks and my feet are noticeably smoother and softer.

My one grumble is that the tube isn't overly generous in size and it's not super cheap either. The Body Shop's Peppermint Intense Foot Rescue gives you more bang for your buck and is easier on the wallet too.  

Verdict
A high-performing, rich foot cream which delivers what it promises. I do wish it was a little cheaper or you got more product though, as with regular application, I cant see this lasting long.
4/5

Price- £12.99
