Being a working woman often doesn’t give me enough time to pamper myself, like I used to during my college days. At times, even going to a salon for a mani-pedi becomes difficult. I recently tried a home pedicure kit newly launched by RichFeel. Called Pedi Care, this is a quick way to make your tired feet look beautiful again in a convenient and pocket-friendly way. Here’s my review.
How to use it?
The kit comes with four different tubes, each for different steps in a traditional pedicure. First, I soaked my feet in a bucket filled with lukewarm water with a few drops of foot soak from the kit. After 10 minutes, I wiped them dry and clipped my toenails. I even cleaned off my old nail colour. You can skip this step if you don’t have much time.
Next, I scrubbed my feet to get rid of dead skin cells with the tiny beads present in it. After a few minutes of gently scrubbing them in circular motion, I washed them off and applied the pack given in the kit. This step will help brighten your feet. You need to keep the pack for at least 10 minutes to see results.
After washing off the pack, I used the last tube with massage cream to moisturise my feet and give them a healthy glow. I also painted my toes with bright red nail polish to make them prettier.
The result
All the products in the kit have natural lemon extracts. Lemon not only adds a fresh, zesty fragrance, it also is a natural bleach that helps remove the layer of tan and lightens your feet. Obviously, don’t expect miraculous change after just one session of pedicure but you won’t be disappointed with the results either.
You can expect salon-like results with this pedicure kit the only exception being, it is DIY. The kit promises to last for at least three pedicures but I think it can be used more times as well. Priced at Rs 300, I think it is a good enough deal as you will spend that much for a single pedicure session if you go to a salon. And doing it at home makes it hygienic too.
Yes, there are a few steps that aren’t a part of this pedicure such as cuticle care and using the pumice stone. You can add these as well but I did not include them and my feet looked fine.
This is a quick way to get happy feet at home. It took me about 30 minutes for the entire pedicure session. And I won’t be doing it again for at least a month.
My verdict
I recommend using this product if you don’t like going or have the time to go to salons.
