With Summer almost upon us, its time to get your toes ready to bare to the world. I love wearing summer sandals, flip-flops and my beloved Birkenstocks, but my feet do leave a little to be desired at the moment. Time to hit them with the full force of scrubs, lotions, and all manner of tortuous looking foot files.

First to face the test is this duo from Aubrey. Aubrey produce a wide range of body care, hair care and even household cleaners all of which are Organic and free of petrochemicals – check out the full range HERE.

The “Neat Feet” range consists of a scrub and a massage cream designed to cleanse, deodorize, and remove rough skin and callouses.

The foot scrub has a very earthy smell, tinged with a peppermint edge, which will either be to your taste or not – I personally didn’t mind it, and I also liked the way that this means that the scrub is more suitable for both men and women. Obviously if you like your footcare fragrant and feminine then this might not be right for you.

The scrub itself has a very creamy base (coconut fatty acid is the base ingredient here), and is filled with almond, ground walnuts and oats as scrub particles.

The scrub applies well, and is a nice thick creamy consistency - it left my feet feeling refreshed, clean and deodorized, however I personally would have preferred a rougher scrub to deal with dry skin and really slough away at rough skin on heels etc. This just wasn’t tough enough for my trotters, but if you have minimal problem skin then this would be sufficient. This scrub retails at £10.20 for 118mls.

The lotion of the duo was very nice and left me feeling far happier though;

Being a massage lotion this takes a bit longer to work into the skin than a standard footcream. But this is no bad thing, and its nice to use if you have the time to give your feet a good massage, which makes your feet feel better anyway. This has a similar scent to the scrub, but is more minty and slightly less earthy smelling. it also has a pleasant warming feeling as you massage it in. A little seems to go a long way too, which makes this decent value, at £8.57 for 118mls.

I wouldn’t describe this lotion as the richest or most deeply moisturising footcream I have ever used, however this can be viewed as a good or bad thing – On one hand, its not the sort of thing you could apply at night expecting to wake up with perfectly softened feet, however on the other hand, you don’t have to walk around with greasy feeling feet for hours so its  a good one to apply after a tough day at work. The deodorizing qualities of this would also make it a good one for after runs or workouts.

So would I repurchase? Of the two in the set, I’d be most likely to repurchase the massage cream, as I liked the warming sensation, and was partial to the scent, and I also feel its a reasonable price. The scrub, although nice enough didn’t really meet my needs, so I’d be unlikely to repurchase that.
