Let’s give breast cancer the boot

October is about more than Breast Cancer Awareness Month… In my world, October also kicks off boot season, even if the mercury still reads north of 80 here in South Florida. With more boot time comes a higher likelihood that I’d get off my pedicure schedule—which means my heels can get pretty haggard (and anyone who knows me knows that cracked heels are one of my biggest beauty fears). I have no shortage of products designed to smooth my soles, but I’m totally into Skinn Cosmetics Foot Fetish Heel Balm because every cent from each purchase—not just the profits—goes to Bright Pink, a national non-profit dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancers in young women.

Like a body butter in stick form (with an amazing grapefruit scent), this hydrating, exfoliating and easy to apply balm is just what you need to keep your feet in tip-top shape all winter long. The formula contains nourishing shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, jojoba oil and vitamins A, C and E for instant smoothing—and ultimate cracked-heel prevention. Swipe on a bit before slipping into cotton socks at bedtime, and you’ll wake up to baby-soft feet come morning regardless of whether you lead toward boots, stilettos, loafers, slides or all of the above.
