with good weather to wear sandals, no one wants to have dry, rough and flaky feet. If your feet are in bad shape after a long and cold winter, consider an exfoliating foot peel. It uses a number of natural acids to remove dead and dry skin, so your feet look and feel as soft and smooth as possible. Since this peel comes in plastic socks that you can slide over your feet, it is very easy to do it yourself at home - this means you can always have smooth and beautiful feet.

To step

Part 1 of 3: Prepare your feet

1. Wash your feet. To make sure there is no dirt, oil, or other residue that could prevent the peel ingredients from getting into your skin, wash your feet. Wash your feet with your usual shower gel or soap.
   • It can be helpful to apply the peel after a shower or bath as it makes it easier to wash your feet.
2. Soak your feet for a few minutes. After your feet are clean, fill a tub, foot bath, or bathtub with enough warm water to submerge your feet. Let them soak in the water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften the skin so that the ingredients of the peel can be absorbed by the skin more easily.
   • If the skin on your feet is particularly dry and hard, you can soak your feet for up to half an hour to make them really soft.
   • Add some Epsom salt and 15-30ml apple cider vinegar to the water before soaking your feet to make them even softer.
3. Pat your feet dry. When you apply the peel, you don't want to have excess moisture on your feet that could dilute the ingredients. Pat your feet dry with a clean towel after you soak them so they are ready for exfoliation.

Part 2 of 3: Applying the peel

1. Cut the socks open. Most exfoliating foot peels have plastic socks that contain all the ingredients, so you can easily keep them on your feet throughout the treatment. To use the peel, take the socks out of the box and cut them open with scissors in the location shown.
   • The peeling socks are always sealed at the time of purchase, so that the ingredients do not leak out before you use them.
   • It is best to cut the socks one by one and put the opened sock on your foot before opening the next sock. That way, no peeling fluid will seep out while you fasten the socks.
2. Secure the socks to your feet. After you cut the socks open, put them on over your feet as you would with regular socks. They have adhesive tabs that allow you to attach them to your feet, so pull the tabs off and secure them around your feet.
   • The adhesive tabs are usually not that strong, so you may prefer to attach them to your skin rather than the plastic. Your skin has more texture than the plastic, which makes it easier for the adhesive to adhere.
3. Put on regular socks over the peel socks. It is extremely difficult to walk around with the plastic socks on your feet because you slip easily. Put regular socks on over the plastic socks to make them more comfortable and easier to move with.
   • It is best to wear tighter socks, as they can hold the acids in the peel against your skin better than with the plastic socks alone.
4. Leave your feet in the socks for an hour. When the socks are fully attached to your feet, let them sit for an hour or according to the directions of the peel. It is best to stay off your feet while wearing the socks to avoid slips and falls, so you can use the hour to relax.
   • If your feet are very dry, you can leave the socks on for more than an hour. Wearing it for up to two hours can improve exfoliation.

Part 3 of 3: Take care of your feet after the peeling

1. Take off the socks. Take off your regular socks when the hour is up. Then gently pull the peeling socks off and throw them in the trash. Rub the residue on your feet into your skin.
   • Although your feet have absorbed some of the exfoliants, there is always some residue on the skin that can be very slippery. Pull the socks off as close as possible to where you will be washing your feet to avoid falling.
2. Rinse your feet with warm water. After taking the socks off, rinse your feet with warm water to remove the residue on your skin. You can take a shower or bath, or wipe your feet with a damp cloth.
3. Wait a few days for the skin to peel. The results of the peeling are not immediately visible. It usually takes two to three days for your feet to shed, but it can also take up to six days. The skin will peel off on its own, but you can rub your feet with a sponge or washcloth to help exfoliate.
   • If your feet are still not shedding on the third or fourth day after the peel, soak them in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes to initiate the process.
   • While you are waiting for your feet to feel shedding and even after they shed, do not moisturize them with foot cream or body lotion. That could stop the peeling.

Tips

• To have the softest and smoothest feet, you can do an exfoliating peel every month.
• While the alpha and beta hydroxy acids in the foot peel are safe, consult a doctor before use if you have corns, warts, open sores, or sensitive skin problems on your feet. If you are diabetic, you should also consult your doctor before using this type of product.
• When your feet are done with the exfoliation, apply a rich foot cream daily to maintain the result.

Warnings

• Do not use an exfoliating foot peel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
