Olay New Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment 4.9 oz — 

I treat myself to home pedicures once or twice a week.  I soak, scrub, file, and moisturize.  I was out of foot scrub, so I picked up a tube of Olay Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment on my last trip to Target.  After using it, I'm happy enough with this product to say that I will definitely buy it again.

Olay describes the Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment as a "self-heating, exfoliating scrub for soft, smooth, and soothed feet."  It contains "Bora Bora white sand", micro-crystals, pumice, shea butter, an assortment of parabens, and other ingredients.   I paid about $8 for my 4.9 ounce tube.

After I soak and file my feet, I apply Olay Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment and really work it into the skin.  There is a fair amount of exfoliating pumice and sand that does produce a decent scrubbing sensation.  I'm a bit of a freak in that I really like super-strong scrubs, so this foot treatment left me wanting something more powerful but it is probably strong enough for most people.  I did feel a warming sensation as I rubbed it across the soles of my feet but it wasn't much more than I'd produce with a different product and some good, old-fashioned friction.  You rinse off this scrub after use and I was happy to see that it easily washed off without leaving chunks of pumice or a slimy layer of shea butter.

After use, my feet feel smoother, softer, and invigorated.  I can't totally attribute the improvement to this stuff because I also use a few foot files and a cinnamon/clove foot lotion.  Still, Olay Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment is a great product and probably the best drug store foot scrub that I've ever used.  I'll definitely buy it again.

Doesn't sound too bad for being from the drugstore. P.S. Sorry for the late rating. I had a family emergency and I am just now catching up!

You have a point there...I always either have on shoes and socks or just socks, my Mom had dry skin but she always wore sneakers or went barefoot she hardly ever wore socks.

I'm sure the fact that I wear flip flops year-round when I'm at home doesn't help the matter.

I still have babies feet, never have had dry skin on them. I hope they stay that way but if not I know what to get. Thanks for sharing. ;)
