A Pedicure That Uses Natural Ingredients (Review !)

Pedi Care's professional pedicure line By Gena

Like skin, feet absorb what they come into contact with. So when you're slathering harmful chemicals all over your tootsies, those chemicals are actually being absorbed through your feet. This might pose serious problems to your overall health because foot care products often contain harmful ingredients like parabens. Even the "fragrances" commonly found in all sorts of skincare products can be harmful. Some of the "fragrances" listed on the ingredient label in skincare products contain hormone disruptors.

Since I'm on a personal mission to live a happier, healthier life, I try to avoid using cosmetic products, including pedicure products, that may contribute to health problems. I've actually had some luck with a more natural-based pedicure product line and have since stopped using my foot creams and soaks that were full of questionable chemicals and replaced them with this little pedicure kit by Gena.

I'm not sure who Gena is, but she makes my feet very happy. 


There are two main reasons that I love Gena's Pedi Care kit: 

  1. The products contain natural, effective ingredients like tea tree oil to exfoliate, refreshen, and soothe your feet.

2. The results (soft, silky, soothed, clean tootsies) make this pedicure worth putting aside extra time for.

The Pedi Care Sloughing lotion with peppermint oil is great for removing dead skin and the peppermint oil soothes and relaxes the tension in your tootsies. The best part is how soft this leaves your feet.
 

The sloughing lotion works on your feet the way an exfoliating facial scrub works on your face. You just massage into your feet. As you rub you can actually see the dead skin rolling off! I know, sounds gross, but that's what fascinates me the most.  If you don't like the feel of dead foot skin on your hands, you can use a wash cloth or foot scrubbing brush, which work just as well.

The  Pedi Soft Foot And Leg Lotion with natural botanicals and fruit acids also helps remove the rough, dry skin from your feet and legs.

I have to say, I didn't exactly love the smell, but it's not terrible. No worse than most pedi products. The thing I love most about this lotion is you can warm it up and it feels wonderful on cold feet. Even better if you have someone who's willing to rub the warm lotion on your feet for you!

The Pedi Soak Foot Bath cleanses, relaxes and refreshens feet. My favorite part about this foot soak is that it contains tea tree oil, a natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. Tea tree oil has many medicinal uses and is used to treat a variety of skin ailments, but it's also a powerful fungus killer. In other words, if your feet tend to have an ... aroma, then this is going to be your best friend.

The foot gel relieves achy, tired feet. (this little guy isn't pictured because I seem to have misplaced it before I began taking photos.) The cooling gel is the perfect ending to a fresh pedicure.

Then there's the Pedi Septic Foot Spray with eucalyptus, menthol and tea tree oil. This basically adds even more protection from the pungent aroma your tired, achy, sweaty feet can develop. The menthol is cooling and it works to relax the muscles in your feet while tea tree oil, again, kills fungus and odor.

Overall, this pedicure line has the basics covered and is worth the price.
