steppin out...

it's spring time. that means lots of fun shoes that will need pretty feet to fill them! avoid dry, cracked heels with steppin' out from the lippmann collection ($38). it's an ayurvedic foot cream loaded with kokum butter.

what's kokum butter? well, it's similar to cocoa butter and melts just slightly when it comes into contact with skin. it's also rich in essential fatty acids, allowing for accelerated cell oxygenation which makes nutrients more readily available to our skin. it doesn't clog pores and it absorbs quickly so you won't have a sticky feeling after using it.

traditionally, kokum butter has been used in india (comes from the garcinia indica tree) for skin softening. it naturally restores elasticity and heals rough calloused skin. the garcinia indica tree belongs to plants in the mangosteen family. hello anti-oxidants! i love love love mangosteen! but i digress...

pros: smells great and feels even better!
cons: it doesn't come with a hot pool boy to rub your feet... damn.

ps if you have nut allergies, be careful.

love it!
