For a long time I'd been putting up with dry feet. I had tried various moisturizers, foot scrubs and exfoliant tools but they had not worked.
I stumbled across Baby Foot and thought it would be worth trying. The reviews all seemed good and they were promising soft and smooth feet.
They come as plastic bag socks with the gel liquid inside. You slip your feet in and can choose to wear socks overtop to keep the bags on tight. I chose to wear socks so I could keep walking around.
I had a hot shower beforehand to soften my feet then put the bags on with socks. I kept them on for around an hour before rinsing my feet in the shower.
At first my toes looked wrinkly and the skin felt tight. Then two days later the skin on my foot started to flake. The instructions said not to pull the skin off so I didn't touch it. Day three was amazingly gross! I went for a walk, my feet got hot and sweaty and when I took my socks off it looked like a snake had shed its skin! Just like peeling skin with a bad sunburn, the layer was thin and easy to pull back. I succumbed to the peeling and thoroughly enjoyed stripping back layers of my skin.
I took a shower and used a pumice stone to exfoliate the dead skin off my feet more aggressively. For another two days my feet kept flaking and then finally stopped. It left my feet a lot more smoother than before, and now I follow up with a daily moisturizer to ensure they stay hydrated and smooth.
I would absolutely do this again!
This was such an experience. Booties on, slimy feet, little effort required. But a few days later.... wow. Skin was just sloughing off like I'd soaked them for days. Absolutely amazing. Gross though, don't plan to go barefoot anywhere for a wee while after.... !! But once the peeling is all done - fresh baby feet!
Tips: Wear socks to bed - you'll get bits of skin everywhere!!
