Six cooling drugstore foot treatments for Spring/Summer

Six drugstore options to keep your feet cool this Spring/Summer.

So I have feet that feel uncomfortably hot, especially in the night, and are extremely dry and warm all day. I get up many times to reapply foot lotion because they are burning hot, despite the room temperature set at 17C. No, it's not hormonal, it is there all the time and I have inherited it. And it ruins my already non-existent sleep.
This Spring/Summer, I am determined to break the pattern, keep my feet cool and hydrated at all times and get some decent sleep. I have stalked the drugstore aisles - offline and online - to come up with six products that are keeping my feet from boiling up.

More on the drugstore foot care products I reach for to keep my feet cool and hydrated:

In April, I only used up four items:
1. Freeman Barefoot Foot Lotion
2. Lush H'Suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment
3. Park Avenue Beer Shampoo
4. Clinique All About Eyes Rich

Freeman Barefoot Softening Foot Lotion in Iced Teaberry & Mint is a lightweight cooling lotion I apply overnight. It smells mild and doesn't feel greasy or stain the sheets. I've already got another one, but I'm starting on The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion for now.

Lush H'Suan Wen Hua is a hair pack to condition the locks. I won't repurchase because it contains parabens (Why, Lush?), it lasted just three uses and it didn't do my hair any favours. It smelled nice, but my hair didn't feel softer or shinier and the frizz and dryness were still there. I might try Roots next time.
