Review: Mama Mio Lucky Legs

When I was first sent a sample of Mama Mio's Lucky Legs, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The front claims "rapid relief for heavy legs and feet," so my first thought was of tireless nurses, retail clerks, and others who are on their feet all day. My daily schedule is hardly demanding, but I recently found a wonderful opportunity to test this when I started to really wear out my legs with some new dance classes.

Pros:

• Provides a gentle cooling effect to legs
• Absorbs quickly
• Shimmer effect is subtle
• Easy to apply
• Soothing to tired legs
  

Cons:

• This type of specialty product is often off the radar

Summary:
It turns out Lucky Legs is quite useful for someone like me. Although I have a sedentary desk job, I tend to push myself hard when I work out. Between tap, ballet, and my rebounding, my legs can get quite tired. Lucky Legs is cooling and feels soothing when you're sore from the knees and below, whether from exercise, standing on your feet, or even being a tourist in new city. The effect lasts about an hour or two, which is comforting, but I would be careful not to treat it like a substitute for taking proper care of sore muscles. The bottle is fairly large (3.4 oz in a pump bottle), and I didn't need too much for one application.

I was glad to see that Mama Mio products don't use animal ingredients and have a "No Nasties" policy. When I put the ingredients in the EWG Skin Deep database, this came to a low 3. I was glad the shimmer effect was subtle, as I'm not much for shimmer in products. I haven't seen this product in stores, but they Mama Mio offers free delivery online. It is also available on Amazon.com. This soothing lotion is worth a try if you ever want a little pampering for sore legs.
