Oriflame Eucalyptus Exfoliating Foot Scrub

I have very dry feet & with winters around they tend to become drier! For years I have not followed any foot care regimen but blogging world has taught me how important foot care is! Recently I bought this Oriflame scrub & I’m completely in love with this scrub!

Why is important to scrub your feet:

Our feet work hard every day & still they don’t receive the appreciation they deserve!

Like the rest of our body, our feet also have thousands of sweat glands. Since most of the time they are encased in shoes or socks they retain more perspiration than less –restricted parts of the body. This results in unpleasant odour & accumulation of rough, dry & dead skin that leads to irritation & soreness.

A foot scrub is a wonderful product which removes dead skin from the foot and imparts a healthy glow to the skin. When used regularly, foot scrubs can soften calluses (callus is an area of skin that is thick or hard from continual pressure or friction), minimize the appearance of bunions (Bunion is a painful swelling of the bursa of the first joint of the big toe), and keep feet looking!

How to scrub your feet:

I. First scrub the soles of the feet with a hand brush which has moderate stiff bristles.

II. Use a tooth brush & scrub between the toes.

III. Rinse the feet with warm water & gently in a rotary motion rub a pumice stone or foot file on heels & the balls of feet.

IV. After this make sure you dry your feet & the area between your toes to avoid any fungus growth.

What does Oriflame claim about the scrub: Contains Almond shell granules that gently cleanse & soften feet, removing rough skin. With glycerine & Eucalyptus to hydrate & soothe.

My Experience with the Oriflame Foot Scrub: I have been using this scrub for almost a month & every time I use it, I feel the tan on my feet fades away & they look super fresh & smooth. There have been days when I didn’t care about how my feet looked but now when I see this scrub I get a reason to cleanse & scrub them & feel so elated after I see them squeaky clean. I love this scrub so much that I use a very little amount to scrub my feet because I want this to last for a while & I’m so happy that the small amount is good enough for scrubbing! The scrub looks like a gel with white & brown colored granules. This product in the form of a orange colored tube & is very light in weight, can be carried in a bag even while on vacation. I’m planning to gift this scrub to a good friend of mine because of the amazing results it has shown! This scrub has made more disciplined in terms of personal care!

Pros of the Oriflame scrub

I. It completely stood up to its claim that it cleanses & softens my feet keeping it hydrated as well.

II. It contains the almond shell granules that scrub so well that I can see results instantly.

III. The granules are not very abrasive but gentle enough to cleanse your feet.

IV. It smells like mint, which gives me an instant fresh feeling.

V. The scrub doesn’t lather much & has a thick consistency & gently exfoliates; I like my scrub to be lather free.

VI. Just need a pea size to scrub a foot.

VII. Once or twice a week scrubbing with this product keeps the feet super soft.

VIII. The packaging is kind of OK. It comes in the form of tube with screw lid; I wish it had a flip cap.

Cons of the Oriflame scrub:

I.            This will not work for cracked heels! But I like this!

Will I repurchase: Definitely! This has delivered good results & made me come out of the laziness to scrub the feet. Worth the buy!

  1. oh great……does one need to moisturize after using this scrub? I’ve been using the Oriflam foot cream (chamomile) which is super. But of course, it does not scrub off the dry hard areas.

  2. Thank you!
    @debasree not sure of the permanent removal ?:-) but yes after using this I could see a slight improvement in the skin color.
    @mounika, No moisturization required after this! I’m glad the foot cream also delivered good results :-))
