I've been using the Foot Balm for the past 2 weeks about 3 times a week after my bath or shower, First I filed with my foot file and then I rub it onto my feet, bottom and top. Even up my foot to aid circulation. I unfortunately didn't take a before. I was ready to go to a parlor to have it done but thought I have the product. Why not try it before spending money over and over again and now I'm so happy to have soft, glowy heels and feet and it has a lovely subtle smell.
