GeLuscious Booties (by Kathryn Holl)
Despite the many pedicures you may get, are your tootsies still dry, cracked and tired? Whether its damage caused by flip-flops, stiletto heels or athletic shoes, your feet need some every-day pampering to prevent calluses and flaking. GeLuscious, a leading spa and at-home spa products company has created GeLuscious booty’s (and gloves) that combine medical-grade, patented and scientifically proven formulas that restore moisture and glow to feet.

These booties are made with a light terry cloth material, feel like a cozy pair of socks and even have a non-skid surface that allows you to walk around the house. The gel lining releases skin-nourishing hydrators including Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Olive Oil to relieve dry flaky skin. Easy to care for, GeLuscious booty’s can be hand-washed with a mild soap and hanged to dry. They make a perfect gift and are great for traveling. I wear mine while getting ready for work and I’m guaranteed soft feet all day long. Recommended use is three times a week for 20-30 minutes. One pair of booties yields approximately 40 treatments. They come in pink and turquoise blue and retail for approximately $24.99. For more information on the GeLuscious booties, gloves or any of their other at-home-spa products, visit www.geluscious.com.
