Today I am reviewing the Himalaya Herbals Footcare cream which I have been using for past 3 weeks. I never took foot care that much important in my skincare routine as I get no cracks or tightness on my foot skin. But this winter when I lost the softness a little, I realized nourishing feet is important too, to maintain it soft and beautiful. I always do pedicures in weekends but footcare cream? Uff no.. this is my first one and let me share my experience with this footcare cream from Himalaya Herbals brand. Previously, I reviewed some other Himalaya Herbals products which you can check it out here.

Soft and Supple feet in 3 DAYS
Deep Moisturising | Non-greasy | Daily Care
Effective relief from dry, cracked heels and rough feet. Deep moisture for soft and smooth feet. Your feet take about 8000 steps everyday. The pressure exerted on your feet often exceeds your body weight. Also, about half a litre of moisture is lost through your feet every day, causing extreme dryness, loss of elasticity and damage to your skin. Yet, your feet remain the most neglected part of your body. Moisturising your feet regularly can help prevent these problems, keeping them soft and smooth. Himalaya FootCare Cream is an unique, daily-use, natural formulation that heals and softens excessively dry and rough feet, preventing cracks and helping protect feet from microbial infections. The gentle, yet effective combination of natural moisturisers provides an unique three-way deep moisturising effect, making your skin soft, increasing the natural moisture content and keeping your feet moisurized even during extensive exposure to the elements. Sal Tree extract has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric and Honey provide antiseptic and germicidal action, and Feenugreek helps heal cracks and relieve inflammation.
Use daily for soft, smooth, healthy feet.

My Views and Ratings
The Packaging
Thank god it’s not tub (Unhygienic). The product comes in a white with orange coloured tube, wrapped with a paper box which looks cute with a foot shaped card. The tube looks very simple, yet sturdy with a green coloured screw cap like every other Himalaya Herbals products come. I can easily carry it around as there is nothing to fear about leaking or something else. Overall, the packaging is not that cute, but simple, perfect and best for usage.
4.5/5
Colour, Consistency & Fragrance
This foot cream is thick, beige in color and smooth in texture. Though the consistency is thick, the cream spreads quickly onto the skin without leaving any greasy feel or whitish cast. The fragrance is little herbal + little floral mixed, also had a slight powdery smell. For a foot cream, the smell is not that overpowering. It’s good and bearable still I wash my hands after using this cream.

How it works on Me
I am blessed with no cracks on my heels and hence I asked my mom to try this cream too. First, let us see how it worked on me. The cream instantly made my feet smooth, soft without any greasy feel and my feet felt soft for 5 yours, then I had to reapply. It vanished fine lines on my feet and what a magic! It cured the wound that i got because of my new slippers. And yes! I saw a great difference on my feet within 3 days. It improved the texture of my feet overall. So what my mom said is that her heel cracks very controlled and prevented within a week of usage and she also felt a slight change over the cracks. Overall, I guess this would be everyone’s summer pick, sweaty feet may feel it best in winters. Decently priced, simple yet good packaging and for all the above reasons such as no greasiness I love this product. It also comes in a bigger pack of 50g, but I am not sure about the prize. The product does what it claims! (That too very naturally) :D
