Finding a great beauty product at a farmer’s market seems unlikely. But last Sunday, I came across a local company called Brown Butterfly. I bought the foot cream they make, called “Sole Survivor”. It is light and creamy, like whipped cream, and it has tea tree, lavender and peppermint. It contains no chemical preservatives, so this is the kind of product you want to store in a cool, dry place this summer. Keep it out of your hot car, out of the humid bathroom.
I keep my potions and lotions in a beautiful red box, it is a great way to hide your make-up and creams away from light and makes an attractive storage place. This cream comes in a jar, so try not to double dip (touch your feet and then put your fingers back in the jar) and it is also the perfect example of what our Beauty Alert! labels are great for.
This cream would fall under the six month category when properly stored and no double dipping occurs. I love this foot cream! Warmer weather reminds us to take care of our feet. Make sure you get your mani/pedis in a salon that uses a good sterilizer, and never walk barefoot around a nail place, or in a hotel for that matter. Travel with flip flops. Use a cream like the Brown Butterfly foot cream with Tea Tree to keep yucky fungi away. Wash and dry your feet completely after your bath or shower, and do find a good place to get a pedicure! You don’t have to paint your toe nails, but pedicures are a great way for women (and men) to keep in touch with how your feet are doing.
