Nothing relaxes me more than a foot soak and scrub after a long day on my feet. This foot and hand scrub from Natio is an excellent product to revitalise the feet with aniseed and peppermint in it. It is very well priced, so you can afford to pamper yourself.
The granules are fine so it is suitable even if you have sensitive skin. A great product to add to your shopping list for yourself or a wish list for presents.


I loved this product! This is probably one of those products that you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself. Like most I tend to ignore my feet so when I used this I was pleasantly surprised. It comes in simple stylish packaging and smells divine, like mint & eucalyptus.

The amount I needed to use was good so I feel you would get great value for money & many uses before having to buy a replacement. My feet had some dry skin and a lot of this came off after use and both my feet & hands felt so refreshed after. It also had a lovely cooling effect afterwards so it would be great for hot, tired & swollen feet. (I wish I had used this when I was pregnant). Good value for money, I would buy this for myself.


I gave this a test after an exhausting shopping expedition. I was firstly struck by the gorgeous mint smell which is quite strong but lovely. After soaking my feet I used this to exfoliate and it did a great job but I was mostly impressed by the soothing mint feeling that it left behind which lasted quite a while – it is just great for tired feet. Excellent value for money, a great product for the price.


I was impressed with how cool and refreshed my feet felt after using this product. It’s easy to apply with a gel texture that has gentle natural pumice exfoliating particles and I also loved the minty scent. This product is good for someone who only needs a gentle exfoliation, if your feet are very dry and rough you may need something that is deeper in exfoliation. I would purchase this product again, its great value for money.


It is quite a strong Eucalyptus, menthol scent. I love the clear, simple packaging as you can really see what you are getting. The product stimulates the circulation and feels very invigorating. Makes you feel alive. You can feel the product on your hands for about 5 – 10 mins after it has been washed off. I felt like I needed to apply moisturiser straight after as you can feel a little alcohol in the product.

The smooth feeling on the skin only lasts about a day. It is course enough to exfoliate without feeling harsh. The scent of the product is very invigorating and gives the feeling of freshness. It would not be top of my list for feet as it is not exfoliating enough, however I would purchase it just for my hands.


A solid performing scrub containing pumice particles that took 10 years off the appearance of my never-exfoliated hands. I also tried it on my feet but the effect wasn’t as dramatic, possibly because the skin on my feet is a lot tougher than that on my hands and I was standing upright in the shower when I used this scrub.

Aside from its mild sinus-clearing mint-eucalyptus fragrance, this scrub has no therapeutic properties and it doesn’t dry out the skin. Because it is a gel and the gel dissolves rather quickly, you do require a generous dollop size for each hand and feet. This isn’t the best hand and foot scrub I have tried but it does its job with no unpleasant side-effects and can be readily purchased anywhere.
