One brand which keeps my feet in the best condition they can be, one which has got me through lockdown without being able to go and have a pedicure is Margaret Dabbs. The latest launch from Margaret Dabbs is Bare Feet, a collection which is described as being a smart, distinctive and effective way to give your feet the love they need, packed with great smelling, long lasting and hard-working ingredients including Manuka Honey and Ginger.
Bare Feet, the new collection from Margaret Dabbs is said to offer a simple, economical and easy remedy to create happy feet, alongside a happy environment, giving everyone the chance to put their best foot forward into Summer 2021. This collection has something for every need your feet have, be it a cooling spray, a scrub or even a soothing soak, the Bare Feet ingredients are antibacterial, rich in antioxidants and also help prevent the ageing process, whilst the uplifting Green Tea fragrance combined with zesty Lime provides a refreshing treat for your feet.
The first product from the collection is one if the most important products you can have at home, even if, like me, you are really not a fan of feet.
The Foot File (£12) is the easiest way to remove hard dead skin which can be really unsightly and in some cases painful. This file is podiatrist approved and with its long handle, it is easy to grip and work its way across that hard skin, especially on those heels which is where I always have a problem, but since using this file, my heel skin is left feeling soft and smooth
The Conditioning Foot Cream (100ml £8.00) is an absolute delight to use and not only is it suitable for all skin types, it is designed to hydrate dry or rough skin of the feet, and help to reduce the build-up of hard skin and callus, leaving feet feeling soft and smooth.
This intensive foot cream not only helps to treat dry, damaged feet and severely dry, cracked feet, it also hosts antibacterial properties which not only help to keep feet hygienic, healthy and protected, but can also help to treat the symptoms of common foot conditions such as Athlete’s Foot. This cream is every bit as luxurious as it sounds and it is blended with energising Ginger extract, skin soothing Manuka Honey and nourishing Avocado Oil not forgetting the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea & zesty Lime.
If you need something a little more intensive to the cream above, then the Nourishing Cracked Heel Balm (100ml £8.50) which is designed to be used daily is one you need.
Designed to visibly improve the condition of cracked, sore feet, this balm uses healing Manuka honey, moisturising Sweet Almond oil, and antibacterial Eucalyptus alongside both Salicylic and Lactic Acids which help to gently resurface the skin. Again, as with the foot cream, there is also the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea and zesty Lime.
After a long walk or exercise when you have tried aching feet, this Soothing Foot Soak (200ml £7.00) is just divine and my favourite product of the range.
I suffer with Plantar Fasciitis which can be incredibly painful and it flares up at random times usually without any signs whatsoever. One of the things I love doing is filling a bowl of either really warm or really cold water and soothing my feet. This soak, is formulated to cleanse, hydrate and refresh tired feet and legs and it uses reviving Ginger extract and calming and moisturising Manuka honey alongside antibacterial Eucalyptus. Again, the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea and zesty Lime are present and it smells just incredible.
Margaret Dabbs makes some of the most incredible exfoliating foot scrubs and this one, which is part of new collection, Exfoliating Foot Scrub (100ml £8.00) is just divine.
This scrub, which includes the natural exfoliant of coconut, apricot stone and sweet almond shells to gently buff away dead skin cells. The scrub itself is quite runny compared to other scrubs I have used and it is just as effective. It is blended with Ginger extract to energise the skin and ease muscle and joint aches, alongside the antibacterial and antibiotic qualities of Manuka honey and again, that uplifting scent of of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea and zesty Lime is also present.
As well as a relaxing foot soak, this Bare Feet Collection also features a Cooling Foot Spray (100ml £8.00) which is designed to instantly help cool and revive tired, aching feet and legs.
I have been nursing an ankle injury for almost three years and the Covid Pandemic hasn't helped with any treatment, so instead I've been following advice whilst being at home. One side of this injury is that it causes my ankle to be constantly swollen and painful and if I over-do the walking, it becomes painful to walk, so anything that I can use which is soothing. This spray is packed full of long-lasting and hard-working ingredients, blended with energising Ginger extract, skin soothing Manuka Honey and hydrating Aloe Vera. Again, this spray is beautifully scented with the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea & zesty Lime, providing a refreshing treat for your feet.
The final product within this Bare Feet Collection is the Cracked Heel Sealer (10ml £9.00) and its job is to form a thin, transparent barrier on the skin to prevent surface cracks from deepening.
This innovative dry heel solution forms a transparent, protective barrier on the skin to help prevent surface cracks from deepening or becoming more painful. The formula is a quick dry formula that locks in moisture to give a skin smoothing effect that lasts all day and as a product it should be used in conjunction with the Cracked Heel Balm and Conditioning Foot Cream to keep the feet, particularly the heels smooth, moisturised and hydrated.
As a collection of products, not only are they purse-friendly, they do everything that they promise to do and if you want to get your hands on them head over to the Bare Feet Instagram page where there is a chance to do just that.
