Baby Foot Original Exfoliation Foot Peel - For Rough Cracked Dry Feet Dead Skin Removal - Foot Peeling

I've heard about these for years and put off buying one because I generally have somewhat sensitive skin and was worried that it would dissolve my body from the ankles down. I hate feet, hate them, so I am really lazy about giving myself pedicures and have never had a professional one done because the only thing worse than touching my own feet is letting someone else touch them. Feet. Eew. *shudder* Needless to say, my feet were in horrible shape. I have hard, calloused spots on the sides of my feet, bad heels and pads, arches that need exfoliation, and just dry ugly skin every where. These arrived on a Thursday and I just couldn't wait to try them. - The packaging says to soak your feet first to better results. I didn't bother. I had just showered, so my feet were still somewhat soft from that, so I just rewashed them and jumped into it. Hindsight, I would've soaked them for 20 minutes in a epsom salt bath. Not sure if it would actually help, but it would be worth testing next time. - The instructions recommend putting socks over the booties while they work. I did this, because I figured if it helps my hairmasks to have a shower cap on, it can't hurt here. Warmth helps things soak into the skin better. It also helped the liquid to settle next to my skin better. I felt like, without the socks, my feet just swam around in the booties. - I found the liquid annoying to wash off at the end. I washed from the knees down, just to make sure I didn't miss anything and still had to go back and wash my ankles again when they were sticky from residue. I used my daughter's baby shampoo to get my skin clean, I think that a moisturizing body wash would have troubles. Maybe use shampoo if you don't keep baby shampoo/bodywash around the house. - I wear socks in the daytime, but hate sleeping with them, so I went sockless for that night and the next. Since I had showered just before using them on Thursday, I didn't bother showering Friday. Saturday, I plugged the tub and let it fill to my ankles while I showered, draining it at the end so that my feet could get a mini soak. Saturday night, I noticed my skin near my big toe looked like it wanted to start peeling, so I started wearing socks to sleep so it wouldn't make a mess (something other reviewers complain about but the instructions even advise). It was worse Sunday night. Monday morning when I showered, it was the weirdest feeling. Stepping out, the skin on my arches had bubbled out and was barely holding on. It was so satisfying to pull it away. - My skin continued to peel quite well until that following Thursday (a week after application) when it slowed significantly. My feet were rather tender, and the skin around my ankles, toes, and the tops of my feet still needed to peel. I continued to soak my feet in the shower, but they stopped peeling, even though they needed to. TIPS FOR USE - Wiggle your toes while wearing the booties. It helps make sure it's all between your toes so they peel better. - Wear socks. You probably won't need them the first night or two, but afterwards, start wearing them. You will peel every where. Turn them inside out and give them a good shake over a trash bin before washing them, because it's seriously icky. - Soak your feet daily. It really helps you remove the skin faster. A 20 mins epsom salt bath will be the best, but it's not needed. Just filling the tub with water to my ankles while I showered was enough. - It can take 3-7 days before you start seeing even the beginnings of peeling. My sister did this the same time as me and she didn't start even the tiniest bit of peeling until late in the 7th day. Afterwards, it can take up to 2 weeks to fully peel. - Once the biggest bit of the peeling has finished and your feet no longer feel tender from the new skin, exfoliate. Exfoliating gloves are like $5 a pair, they exfoliate well and work without pressure that could damage your skin. - Consider switching from lotion to oil while peeling. I usually use a foot cream at night because it's about all I can handle touching my feet. I tried cream one night and I hated how it felt. Switched to body oil and it helped me moisturize the newly exposed skin and didn't feel as icky. I think the oil also helped soften the skin as it was peeling. - This can only remove so much skin at a time. It's not going to work miracles. If your feet are in horrendous shape, be prepared to need anywhere between 1-4 applications. Mine were in horrible shape and I think I will need to do this twice, maybe three times. The instructions say you can do this every two weeks after the first application, but I don't think I recommend that. Maybe if you have skin of steel that can handle anything, but considering that bits are still peeling by the second week, I would skip it. I'm at like 18 days past application and I feel comfortable ordering another, but probably won't use it for another week or two. I think once a month will be my winning ticket. I am so happy I tried this. Such an amazing product! Read more

I rarely get salon pedicures as I just don't feel like it's worth the money. I can paint my own toenails without much trouble, for much cheaper than they charge at the salon. But I do have callused feet - I LOVE going barefoot, is one big problem - and I don't have the time or patience to sit and pumice my calluses for hours on end. So when I saw this advertised, I thought - what the heck; it's less than the cost of a pedicure and if it works, great. My process went like this - I did the peel last Sunday: Day 1 - do the peel. As other people have mentioned, I soaked my feet first and per the package recommendations, put socks on over the peel bags while I waited the hour for the peel to be done. I was worried it was going to burn or sting - I felt nothing, other than an occasional tingle. The peels I have used on my face, by contrast, were much more uncomfortable. (DO NOT even think about using this product on your face or anywhere but your feet, BTW. Based on the level of peeling I experienced on my feet, I do not think you would have a face left if you put this on your face.) Day 2 - nothing happens. I soak my feet again as people have suggested. Day 3- still nothing. Is this thing really going to work? Day 4 - HOLY CANNOLI, my feet start peeling like crazy. There are huge bubbles of dead skin all over the soles of my feet as the dead skin starts to lift. Day 5-Day 6 - CRAZY peeling, my feet are shedding skin like crazy. Almost to the point where it becomes bothersome having to pick up little bits of skin that come off if I walk around without socks. Day 7 - most of the peeling is done (I will confess, I used a foot brush on my feet GENTLY last night in the bath to try to get some of the smaller dead-skin pieces off, and it worked well). But there are still places where dead skin is lifting, and I'm pretty sure I'll keep peeling a little for a few more days. My feet are incredibly soft and smooth now. One thing I am really happy about is that I had a lot of dead skin on the ends of my toes that I couldn't seem to do much about - pumice didn't really help, nor did a lot of moisturizing. The other day I sat in the bathtub and with very little effort, peeled the dead skin off the tops of my toes in coin-size patches. I have never had a pedicure or home treatment that was able to get rid of the dead skin that effectively. Here are a few words to the wise: - Peeling is supposed to start on Day 3. Plan to wear socks day 3-7, if you don't want to leave a trail of dead skin behind you at work or at home. I wore socks 24/7, even to bed, during the heaviest peeling days. - Turn the socks you wear INSIDE OUT to wash them and wash them separately. Trust me, when you see the dead skin that has come off in your socks, you will understand this advice. - Make sure you're giving yourself enough time if you're doing this before a big event. My feet are still peeling a little, seven days later. If you're doing the peel before a wedding, dance, etc. I would give yourself 10 days minimum; two weeks to be safe. - I do think it helped to soak my feet every night in the bath and also to put some lotion on so my feet didn't get overly dry. The lotion didn't seem to affect the peeling one bit. - If you have cracked heels (I do) you'll see some improvement, but the cracks don't totally disappear; at least that's my experience. I had a crusty ridge of dead skin on the inside side of both heels that is completely gone, though, so I don't think my feet will be as likely to crack in the future. - You will have to be careful about your shoes after the peeling is mostly complete. Shoes that rub aren't going to cut it. Remember, you have a much thinner layer of skin on your feet than you used to. Be kind to your feet; wear shoes that don't pinch or rub and carry some blister bandages with you just in case. I have had horrible calluses, dry skin, cracked heels, etc. on my feet for more years than I can count. And now my feet look - well - like baby's feet! I will be doing this again in three months - spring is here, summer is coming, and usually by mid-June my feet are pretty rough. Grateful for this product! Read more

I’ve been using Baby Foot for years and always get great results. Prep is key: I soak my feet in warm water for about an hour, then before opening the booties I push the gel toward the bottom so it mainly treats the soles. If you have sensitive skin on the top of your foot, it helps to soak only the bottoms—but I personally prefer when the whole foot peels and haven’t had irritation. Peeling starts after a few days and usually finishes in about four; soaking your feet daily during this time helps speed it up. You’ll need to wear socks while peeling since the skin sheds a lot. I prefer this over salon pedicures because it peels naturally, is more effective, and avoids sanitation issues. Read more

I can’t believe how well this sloughs off dry and cracked skin on my feet. You’ll have to put up with a few days of peeling, flaky skin, but the results are worth it! Your feet are going to feel so soft and smooth!!! Read more

I was skeptical about the effectiveness of these, but it worked great and got a ton of dead skin off of my feet. They look completely different! My feet were awful, they were cracking so bad they hurt to walk on and the dead skin had built up about a quarter inch or more on my heels. Honestly, I was embarrassed for people to see the bottom of my feet.. they looked scary😂. The peel did amazing and got most of the dead skin off with no pain. They started flaking within four days and we’re mostly peeled by the sixth day. I don’t have any more pain from cracking, but I still have dry skin and think I will be getting a second peel to finish the job! But like I said, my feet were super bad! I am amazed with the results from the first peel and would definitely recommend this for anyone having issues with dry or cracking feet. Read more
