I've been going about foot cream all wrong

Am I the only one who (for whatever reason) associates foot cream with bedtime? This obviously makes sense as we don’t want to be slipping and sliding around in our shoes all day, but slathering a rich cream on my feet at night poses a few challenges for me. First, I hate sleeping with socks, but if I don’t the cream gets all over my bedding. Second, I usually have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once during the night, which leaves a trail of greasy footprints (that now translates to extra housework in order to clean). But with all of this said, foot cream is essential for keeping my heels soft and smooth, so what’s a girl to do?

One solution: These toe-less gel socks, which definitely stop cream from getting everywhere and let my little piggies roam free. The gel lining also helps prevent the actual socks from sucking up the moisture and forms an occlusive layer that helps foot cream penetrate even better.

But yesterday I was testing my new Beauty Pie foot cream for the post about my latest haul and I had an epiphany. Now that I’m home all the time, I can totally apply foot cream, slip into socks (or not), slide on my rubber “house” Birkenstocks and get the same sole-softening benefits ON MY SCHEDULE—and without the extra task on my cleaning to-do list. Things are looking up!
