23 Oct (Review, Before/After Photos): C.O. Bigelow Mentha Tingling Foot Cream and Chapped Hands Remedy
Since the colder months are around the corner, it’s time to stock up on necessary items. I don’t mean food and snacks, but remedies that fix dry skin.
C.O.Bigelow, the country’s oldest apothecary, really knows its formulations. From the Mentha Tingling Foot Cream to the Chapped Hands Remedy, each product is carefully numbered, and the presentation is so “apothecary.” The only thing you’re not getting is a doctor in his lab coat writing out prescriptions.
Geeks that we are, we love the presentation and packaging — it really fits the brand.
We had the opportunity to review two products that are included in this giveaway.
The Chapped Hands Remedy is a sleek portable tube that is super cute. Its formulation containing 40% glycerin makes your skin hydrated within minutes. For $14, this is a winter lifesaver. Take a look at the before/ after photos below (we also love that it’s TSA friendly at 1.7 oz):

After
The Tingling Foot Cream contains 2.25% Peppermint Oil and comes in a sleek green tube that’s a perfect stocking stuffer. It also contains aloe vera, so you can use it to soothe tired skin especially if you’ve been out in the sun. The best way to use this is to wash your legs and dry off with a towel before you apply this all over.
It’s not too pepperminty either, which is a characteristic of most foot creams.
In honor of fall and winter, we’re giving away a set of the below items to one lucky winner:
C.O. Bigelow Ultra Mentha Lip Shine: flavored Mentha lip balms which give you a glossy shine. $7.50.
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint: mint-infused lip balms. $7.50 each.
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Tingling Foot Cream (described above: $14)
C.O. Bigelow Chapped Hands Remedy No.1012 (above; $14)

Posted at 21:20h, 29 OctoberDuring the cooler months, I like using Burt’s Bees products on my lips. I like how they have natural, wonderful benefits. For my hands & other dry areas, I use coconut oil. It is, however, very greasy so I use it sparingly. I love to put it on my feet in the evening and cover with socks, then in the morning my feet feel soft and smooth. For my face, I belong to Skin Authority in which I receive products every 4 months or so, suited for my skin. I love the vitamin A in the evening, because it is a bit thicker than the regular moisturizer. That’s my story 🙂

Posted at 21:35h, 29 OctoberI like to clean my face before bed and spray a spritzer that has vitamin B and lots of water in it. It seems to hydrate my face and make me feel good. I am always looking for good hydration for my skin.
