If you often go to bed with tired, heavy feet, the Footsie Keep It Clean Overnight Detox Foot Pads (10s) might be just the night time pamper your feet deserve.
I am not a fan of feet, something I have mentioned many times on this box, but there was something about an invitation to try these detox foot pads that I just could not resist. Not only do they promise to support relaxation, better circulation but also a rejuvenated feeling in the morning. Let’s dive into what they are, how they work, and whether they may be worth adding to your self-care routine.
What are Footsie Overnight Detox Foot Pads?
Footsie detox foot patches blend ideas from aromatherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The concept is simple: you apply the patches to the soles of your feet before bed, leave them on overnight, and remove them in the morning. The active ingredients are meant to interact with energy (reflexology) points in the feet, helping to detoxify the body, promote clearer sleep, and boost circulation.
Key Ingredients
-
Bamboo Vinegar Powder — commonly used in detox foot pads; reacts with moisture such as sweat and may change colour after use.
-
Artemisia Princeps Extract — also known as mugwort, a plant extract often used for its fragrance and traditional calming properties.
-
Sodium Chloride — simple salt, included for its moisture-balancing qualities.
-
Tourmaline — a mineral sometimes claimed to promote wellness through energy or circulation support.
-
Dextrin — a natural carbohydrate that acts as a binder to hold the patch ingredients together.
-
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil — lavender essential oil, used for its soothing scent and relaxing properties.
Key Benefits
-
Relaxation & Sleep Aid
Lying down with these pads helps promote calm before sleep — both physically and mentally. The scented components (if included) can also support winding down.
-
Supports Circulation
By stimulating reflex points on the sole, there’s the potential for improved blood flow. Many users say their feet feel lighter and less swollen in the morning.
-
Detox & Wellness Feel
While “detox” is a marketing term, many feel cleansed or refreshed after use. It’s about the ritual as much as the results.
-
Convenience
Simply place them on before bed; no extra steps in the middle of the night required. You wake up, peel off, then you’re good to go. Perfect if you have a busy evening schedule.
How to Use Correctly
To get the most out of the Footsie Overnight Detox Foot Pads:
-
Clean & dry your feet before application.
-
Place the patch on the sole of each foot, focusing on the arch or pressure points if that feels best.
-
Wear them through the night—comfort is key, so make sure the patch adheres well and doesn’t bunch up under sheets or socks.
-
Remove in the morning and gently wash off any residue.
-
Use regularly, perhaps nightly or a few times a week, to maintain the effects.
Final Thoughts: Are They Worth It?
For those who are curious about wellbeing, self-care, and holistic routines, Footsie Overnight Detox Foot Pads can be a relaxing evening ritual rather than a medical remedy. They won't replace good rest, nutrition, or medical care, but they offer a simple, low-commitment way to give your feet some extra love.
As you can see, the end result is rather shocking and even I felt slightly queasy removing the pads from my feet to see the goo sitting there.
If you suffer from foot fatigue, restless nights, or just want a moment of quiet wellness, trying these foot pads could be a small but effective addition to your nightly routine. And for anyone who already uses foot care or reflexology techniques, they may complement what you already do.
These Footsie Overnighy Detox Foot pads are on sale for £8 in Boots and if you are as intrigued as I was, they are worth trying!
