Do your favorite shoes reveal cracked heels or dry foot skin? Fix it with Equilibrian Foot Care Kit

Do your favorite shoes reveal cracked heels or dry foot skin? Fix it with Equilibrian Foot Care Kit

Feet don’t get much attention over winter, and foot skin quickly becomes neglected and unsightly. But who wants scaly feet during that mid-winter tropical vacation? Or during a yoga, barre or pilates class? Keep feet smooth and delicate all year long without a special trip to the salon. This kit contains everything you need to get soft feet.

Are dry feet with cracked heels embarrassing you in yoga or pilates class? Try the Equilibrian Foot Care Kit to peel away all the dead skin and keep feet smooth and pretty.

ABOUT THIS SET

This Equilibrian Foot Care Kit keeps feet smooth all year long. It contains:

  • Two pairs of foot peel masks
  • Moisturizing gel socks
  • One hydrating foot mask
  • Bonus foot rasp file and a silicone scrubbing pad

Kit contents

STEP ONE:  Foot Peel Mask

This mask contains AHAs, BHAs, natural extracts, and botanicals. It gently and safely penetrates dead skin cells to break down and remove the outer layers.

Two pairs of the Step 1 Foot peel

Foot Peel Ingredients

Glycolic Acid(AHA) Glycolic Acid (AHA) exfoliates by loosening the “glue” that adheres dry, dead skin to healthy skin, and then dissolves away the dead skin. There is also limited redness or irritation after use. Skin is brighter, younger, softer, and it glows like younger skin.  Glycolic Acid also promotes collagen production.

Lactic acid exfoliates and brightens skin. It is gentler than glycolic acid. Lactic acid holds moisture while increasing firmness and skin thickness.

Salicylic Acid is a bHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid removes dry skin debris without excess drying. It helps build collagen. Salicylic acid works best when paired with another peeling agent.

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients. It holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor seeds

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant reduces inflammation, heals scars and hydrates.

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

 

 

STEP TWO: Moisturizing Gel Socks

One size fits all, they are suitable for women and men.

These hypo-allergenic gel lined socks are infused with essential oils and lotion for soft, healthy feet. They are reusable and washable and will hydrate feet for up to three months or sixty wearings.

Gel lined socks with skid-proof bottoms

Wear the moisturizing gel socks for one hour per session to keep feet smooth and soft. I like to use them once or twice a week. They have skid-proof treads on the bottom for safety.

Moisturizing Gel Sock Infused Ingredients

Grapeseed Oil Extract kills bacteria while softening skin

Grapeseed Oil is nourishing to the skin and contains building blocks for collagen production. High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging. Grapeseed Oil Extract kills bacteria while softening skin.

 

Lavender

Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin.

 

Jojoba is excellent for body skin. Jojoba has a similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils the scalp needs to stay healthy. It removes impurities and skin flakes, reduces inflammation and soothes skin. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats. Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.

Olives benefits the skin

Olive Oil has skin enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols. Olive Oil makes skin smooth and supple. Linoleic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect.

STEP THREE:  Moisturizing Mask Booties

These disposable hydrating booties are fortified with powerful natural hydrating ingredients to moisturize and nourish foot skin. Wear them for 15 to 20 minutes, no need to rinse off feet after use.

Step 3 disposable booties

 

Moisturizing Mask Booties Ingredients

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Oil is an emollient that softens and smooths. It contains antioxidant vitamin E and nourishing fatty acids (mostly oleic acid 54-74%, linoleic acid 12-35%). It has nourishing and moisturizing properties and is quite easily absorbed into the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients. It holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant reduces inflammation, heals scars and hydrates.

Rosa Rugosa

Rosa Rugosa

Rosa Rugosa flower extract is rich in vitamin C, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, and carotene.  It promotes collagen production and reduces enlarged pores. It also makes the skin exceptionally smooth while removing excess inflammation.

Macadamia oil is very rich and contains many natural lipids and fatty acids. It’s a high oleic acid oil (50-67% oleic acid and only 0-5% linoleic acid) that makes it very emollient and helpful for dry skin types. Macadamia uniquely contains high amounts of the rare palmitoleic acid (12-25%) that give Macadamia oil a “cushiony” feel. It’s also easily absorbed and makes the skin soft and supple.

BONUS

Use the bonus tools to address calluses or especially rough patches of skin such as cracked heels.

Well made dual sided foot rasp and silicone scrubber

Well made dual-sided foot rasp and silicone scrubber

 

MY EXPERIENCE

This three-step system gently removes dead skin, then the gel socks and moisturizing mask keep feet smooth.

After using the peel, my feet felt instantly smoother. The dead skin started to peel in a few days. Then they continued to peel for about two or three days. So much dead skin came off! Skin slowly exfoliates away layer by layer until all the dry skin is gone. I was especially impressed with how much smoother and softer my dry, cracked heels were immediately after using the peel.

There is no discomfort, stinging or burning while using the peel. It does not sting like AHAs and BHAs do on the face.

The peeling will continue for several days, however, and it is unattractive, so be prepared to cover the feet during this unsightly week. But afterward, the feet are so smooth!

How to Use the Peel

Open one STEP ONE package. There is one pair of booties folded inside. You can see the peel solution. 

Step 1 booties have the AHA and BHA acids to gently peel feet

Soak feet, unfold the booties and tear or cut the tops. Slip the booties on the feet for 90 to 120 minutes. It does not sting or burn, you can put your feet up, relax and watch a movie. Then remove the booties and wash off your feet.

Next put on the gel socks.

The gel socks are comfortable and wearing them for an hour makes my feet softer and smooth.

I like that they are hypoallergenic, reusable, roomy and comfortable. The essential oils and infused lotion means I don’t have to add any extra lotions or creams for my feet to be soft after use.

The bonus tools are of good quality and manage calluses before they become unsightly. The foot rasp is particularly effective.

great gift

This three-step system gently removes dead skin, then the gel socks and moisturizing mask keep feet smooth. It comes nicely boxed and makes a great gift!

5 Weird Skincare Trends You May Want to Try

· 2 Comments

Throughout the years, the skincare industry has gone through a constant evolution of trends. You’ve probably already heard of 24-karat gold face masks, the multi-step Korean skincare routine, bubbling face masks, and scary vampire facials — the list goes on and on. The thing about weird skincare trends is that they tend to be more shocking and Instagram-worthy rather than helpful to your skin. While some of these trends may be questionable in terms of their efficacy, here are some recent yet slightly strange trends that come with actual skin benefits to get you that gorgeous glow in no time:

1. CBD and Hemp Infused Products

Commonly associated with marijuana, these anti-inflammatory and non-psychoactive ingredients are becoming a rapidly growing trend in the realm of skincare for their subversive nature. Elle raves about how CBD-infused lotions can help relax tired muscles and hemp oil is a fantastic moisturizer. Fun fact: The Body Shop has been using hemp in their products ever since 1992.

2. Algae Face Masks

We tend to associate algae with the green stuff growing in our aquariums or floating around in the ocean, but this natural ingredient is power-packed with a wide range of goodies for your skin. In our article ‘Stable Waterless Vitamin C That Soothes: Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream’, we describe how algae extract “conditions, hydrates, softens, refines texture and detoxifies the skin.” Isn’t this multi-tasking amazing?

3. Dry Brushing

Originating from ancient Chinese medical practices, dry brushing involves using a soft bristle brush across your entire body from the bottom to the top to get rid of dead skin cells. Parsley Health explains that dry brushing may have a surprise health benefit, in the fact that it simulates the lymphatic system. The idea behind dry brushing is that you’re brushing towards the heart, working with the body’s natural lymph flow while exfoliating dead skin. It’s the perfect stress-reducing addition to your routine before taking your bath or shower.

4. Probiotic Skin Care

Okay, putting bacteria on your face might sound weird at first, but as long as it’s the good kind it can actually repair your skin barrier. In fact, using harsh facial cleansers and antibacterial soap can lead to dryness and irritation, but Forbes suggests that probiotics function as a “protective shield against bad bacteria, dialing down inflammation, preventing premature aging in the skin” and even reducing acne.

5. AI Personal Customization

Would you trust a machine to make skincare recommendations for you? A brand called Proven may be your best bet yet. It was founded by a team from Stanford University and relies purely on algorithms and artificial intelligence, gathering and analyzing data related to “individual ingredient efficacy to consumer testimonials and scientific-journal reports” to deliver top-notch personalized skincare. After all, robots are getting smarter and so should we in terms of the decisions we make regarding our skin.

 

At the end of it all, skincare trends always come and go. Something to keep in mind before trying any skincare trend it’s that it is always important to do your own research and conduct a patch test to prevent any negative skin reactions, especially for those with sensitive skin or any allergies.

Stable Waterless Vitamin C that Soothes: Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream

· 12 Comments

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream is a stable Vitamin C with a Who’s Who of skin-friendly supporting ingredients, including their own trademarked KB5™ Complex. This complex is used instead of water or fillers. This creates a potently stable yet soothing C product.  This innovative light cream hydrates like a concentrate but dries down clean and remarkably smooth.

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream boasts an impressive array of natural, eye skin-enhancing ingredients

The Caveats of Vitamin C for Delicate Eye Skin Care

Crow’s feet, wrinkles, crepey skin and discoloration. Vitamin C can work wonders on the delicate eye area skin for targeted skin-rejuvenation.  It is an anti-aging, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse. Vitamin C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C also minimizes wrinkles and improves sun-damaged skin texture.

But… Vitamin C can also irritate sensitive eye area skin. Many people cannot tolerate daily Vitamin C around the eyes.

Fortunately, Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream contains a host of soothing, nourishing, treating and buffering ingredients that support Vitamin C efficacy as well as make daily Vitamin C use possible even on the most sensitive eye skin. This formula uses STAY-C, a stable form of Vitamin C,  activated only upon absorption. Stable C is more power with less irritation.

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream reads like a who’s who list of amazing skin-friendly ingredients.  Let’s take a closer look.

Ingredient Profile

In addition to STAY-C Vitamin C, Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream contains an impressive formulation of natural, skin-enhancing ingredients.

KB5™ Complex: The first five herbs are individually cold-processed into essences. They create the proprietary KB5™ Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burke formulas.  There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burke product. This makes highly concentrated and pure formulations.

INGREDIENT DETAILS

Nutrient-C Eye Cream features KB5 Complex™ instead of water. It is a combination of:

  • Arnica flower is a natural anti-inflammatory. It reduces puffiness without causing dryness or dehydration around the delicate eye skin. It also decreases bruising and inflammation. Arnica promotes healing and reduces swelling.
  • Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) improves elasticity and reduces sagging. It boosts antioxidant activity, strengthenings the skin and increases blood circulation. [1]
  • Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.
  • Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin
  • Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [2]

Nutrient-C Eye Cream also contains:

  • Safflower Oil is high in Omegas 3, 6 and 9. It hydrates dry skin, soothes irritation and enhances skin texture and appearance. It delays premature aging, tightens and brightens the skin.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base. It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.
  • Aloe Leaf Juice has an enzyme that repairs skin cells, soothes and heals the skin. It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
  • Evening Primrose Oil restores a glow to the skin. It is excellent as a topical ingredient to provide moisture without clogging the skin and is helpful for eczema and acne. Supports elastin, moisture, and skin firmness. [3]
  • Jojoba Seed Oil is very similar to the composition of our natural skin oils, so skin tends to absorb Jojoba very well. Jojoba gives skin elasticity and softness. Jojoba Oil is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients. It smoothes wrinkles and fine lines without causing irritation.
  • Grape Seed Oil is nourishing to the skin and contains building blocks for collagen production. High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging.
  • Neem Seed Oil is particularly effective on healing sun damage and restoring moisture.  It deeply penetrates the skin to enhance elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production
  • Vitamin E to soften skin and make it more pliable.
  • Caffeine reduces puffiness and inflammation. Caffeine has antioxidant properties and slows down photoaging.
  • Maris Sal (OMC-92 Ocean Mineral Complex) is “An Ocean Mineral Complex of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and a blend of 92+ nutritious ocean minerals to needed for proper skin cell function.” [4]
  • Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Leaf Extract are  anti-inflammatories suitable for highly sensitive skin
  • Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi) Extract comes from a mushroom with polysaccharides. These are responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water.  It promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.
  • Juniper Fruit Extract has both soothing and antioxidant properties.
  • Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation.
  • Horsetail Plant Extract has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. It reduces redness and soothes skin.
  • Geranium Extract makes skin glow and heals inflammatory skin conditions and topical ingredient induced irritation.[5] It also contains a fatty acid profile that promotes healthy skin cells and reduce wrinkles [6].
  • Dandelion Extract stimulates collagen production. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, it protects skin against free radical damage and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Magnesium and zinc detoxify skin, and anti-inflammatory properties calm irritation and under-eye puffiness.
  • Algae Extract is packed with skin essential vitamins and minerals.  It conditions, hydrates, softens, refines texture and detoxifies the skin.

OUR EXPERIENCE

The lack of water or fillers is evident.  The texture sinks in immediately and has the impact of a high-end serum concentrate. There are no remaining dry patches and skin just DRINKS it in.  The smallest dab of product fully hydrates and leaves skin exceptionally smooth.

This light cream with a natural lavender scent is quick to absorb and won’t cause makeup to run or pill. We find Nutrient-C Eye Cream works well under makeup or solo for a dewy-eyed, glowing skin look. Pair it with Kat Burki Absorption tool for a spa-like treat.

A tiny dot of this innovative cream absorbs quickly and leaves eye skin glowing,
fine wrinkles subdued and undereye skin soft and smooth.

Experience Stable C with BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner

· 14 Comments

Maybe you saw BeautyStat on Good Morning America, or read about it in Allure, Violet Grey, Coveuteur, or WWD. And now, on StyleChicks. Because here at StyleChicks we’ve tried plenty of high-end Vitamin C topicals. But our BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner experiences got and kept our attention. What happens after using a bottle of BeautyStat?  We are here to tell our BeautyStat tales.  First up is Lyn, her chief skin compliant is dark spots and hyperpigmentation due to sun damage.

BeautyStat Universal Skin Refiner contains a Stable Vitamin C for superior performance

Lyn here. I knew right away this product was unique. I was interested to see what one bottle could accomplish. BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner is a unique stable C that doesn’t oxidize. This Vitamin C is potent and fresh to the last drop. Often with a Vitamin C serum, you don’t really know if it is working by the end of the bottle and you have to invest in a second bottle and hope for the best. But with BeautyStat, I knew.

Me and C

Skin-obsessed and well over 35, Vitamin C serum has been part of my daily routine for years. I didn’t have a particular preferred brand, some Vitamin Cs worked better than others. I was getting along well until … dark spots appeared. Lots of them.

Out, darn (age) spot! The backstory

Sunscreen fanatic here. But somehow, I got dark spots on the top of my cheekbone, where light hits. Visually it appears as one larger-than-an-inch birthmark-like patch atop each cheekbone. They are far darker and bigger than freckles and they are not cute like freckles. They show in photos and IRL even when I spackle concealer over them. The unfortunate placement is like a permanent contour where there ought to be highlighter. It alters the visual contours of my face and makes me look drawn and older.

The dark spots defied all my standard remedies. I tried niacinamide, retinol, at home dermabrasion, dermaplaning, Vitamin K, topical Alpha Lipoic Acid, and glycolic peels at home and at a spa.

Meanwhile, I had been using Vitamin C serums entire time. So I expected nothing to change dark spot-wise from using BeautyStat. I was wrong.

My beautystat Experience

Universal C Skin Refiner is aptly named. The morning after I first used it, I noticed a skin texture refinement. It was like after an AHA peel without the peeling, dryness, or irritation.

BeautyStat won’t pill under my sunscreen or makeup. It is not greasy, sticky, or tacky.

My sensitive skin tolerates daily BeautyStat use, even around the eye area.

I apply a thin layer on my face, throat, collarbone. Then go back in dabbing extra on my dark spots, acne scars and eleven lines.

Stable C is potent. I recommend sensitive skin users buffer with a moisturizer to tolerate daily use. BeautyStat makes one that I haven’t tried, so I can’t opine on it. I used a light lotion with no actives (Cerave or Clinique DDML). I experienced no dryness or flaking even with daily use.

Just a bit spreads evenly and smoothly on my face

Results

My face has overall spot fading and skin texture improvement. But most notable is the breakdown and reduction of the very dark pigment of the collective age spots patches. Now normal pigment skin appears between the spots so it is no longer a mega spot. The spots no longer obstruct my cheekbone. The discolored spots are visible in bright sunlight, but far less so in indoor lighting.

I don’t know how long it will take to remove the dark hyperpigmentation completely. But BeautyStat made more progress in a few weeks than I got in two years with any other dark spot treatment. Bravo!

Will another bottle of BeautyStat vanquish my dark spots for good? I sure am game to find out.

Want to know how BeautyStat pulls off this spot defeating beauty miracle? Watch for the rest of our BeautyStat series covering the science of BeautyStat and its’ fabulous ingredient profile, as well as Courtney’s impressive results.
