Baby Foot Original Exfoliant Foot Peel - Home Treatment Solution To Repair and Remove Dry, Damaged and Cracked Skin - 2 Boots - 70ml - Lavender Scented

Product Information

Unlike the rough scrubs and files you’re probably accustomed to, foot peels can be done at home with minimal effort. Many are chemical peels, which often use hydroxy acids (like AHAs and BHAs) to dissolve dead skin in the outer layers until it literally sheds or sloughs off your soles, explains Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital’s dermatology department in New York City. He recommends looking for formulas that contain ingredients like glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid, which are popular chemical exfoliators. That snake-like shedding is what caused Baby Foot to go viral: large swaths of dead skin hanging from users's feet, revealing fresh, soft skin beneath. The brand claims that "after peeling, your feet are reborn just like a baby’s foot, giving you healthy, beautiful feet.” Customers rave the product is "revolutionary" and its results are "remarkable."

Shirazi agrees, explaining that the outcome could be even worse than just some redness. "If you put this same formula on the face skin, which has a thinner, more delicate outer layer, it can cause significant damage to the skin barrier, resulting in a chemical burn," she says. Your feet, however, can take it like a champ. What if Baby Foot doesn't make your skin peel as promised? Well what the hell is wrong with me, then? Webb said one’s results could also vary with the climate (drier climates work best) and time of year. “Some people get a really great peel like after the summer months, and summer sandal weather, is over with. You’ve got certain points on your feet or your toes that your sandals are rubbing on that cause a lot of friction, and that friction causes a lot of buildup. So generally you’ll get a better peel after spring and summer sandal season is over with.” And when they do start to detach, boy, do they ever!

The expectations: My beauty editor friend told me about it. She said you let your feet soak in these booties for an hour, and within a few days, your dead skin comes off in sheets. I'm looking forward to a really satisfying, postpedicure result. I'm hoping it will leave my feet smooth, soft, and less beaten for a longer period of time than if I had just used a foot cream. The only thing you need to do is you need to wait two weeks from your first treatment.” She said to think of it like a “mild facial peel,” except on your feet, and, I guess, except for that fact that your friends feel the need to aggressively warn you about it beforehand. “The beauty of it is, the formula targets only the dead skin cells. It doesn’t go any further than it’s supposed to go. We don’t recommend you leave it on past an hour, you know — that’s the recommended time — but even if you do it’s not going to go any further than where it’s supposed to go.”It’s essentially exfoliation on steroids,” says dermatologist Mona Gohara, M.D. Which is why, she tells me, people with eczema, psoriasis, or even just sensitive skin, should be wary of the product since it can cause major irritation. Ditto people who have any cuts or open wounds on their feet.

Webb — my friend now, as we’ve been talking about feet for so long — cited herself as proof that frequent use of Baby Foot will not dissolve your flesh. “I do it quite often because I do a lot of trade shows with my boss, so we always want to make sure we’re peeling for the show. I’ve done it two weeks apart, six weeks apart.” And does she have to, like, walk around in ill-fitting shoes for miles beforehand, to build up dead skin? “No, no! Because everybody has a certain amount of dead skin cells.” Sometimes people’s feet are in really good condition and they honestly don’t have a lot of dead skin buildup. Some people, they’ll peel like a snake. And for other people it’ll be this powdery, flaky-type peel. If you have a lot of calluses on your feet, generally we don’t say it will take care of those calluses.” She cited her father as an example; he’d used Baby Foot once and, though it helped, many of his tough calluses remained. After the second time he used it, he saw an improvement. The results: Before the peeling started, my feet were dry and rough. They started to slightly peel on day three but with a lot of help on my end (I was pulling at the skin a bit—OK, a lot). It didn't hurt, and I could hardly notice anything was happening unless I looked down and saw the pieces of skin everywhere. It wasn't as visible and drastic as I was expecting, but it was very satisfying when big sheets of skin came off. It kind of felt like I let a lot of Elmer's glue dry on my feet and then I peeled it off. The next few days weren’t as dramatic. The magic moved up to the tops of my foot, and even my toes peeled. There were a few patches on my heels that didn’t want to come off on their own, but they scrubbed off easily with a washcloth in the tub.

After drying off, I cut the top off the gel-filled plastic booties and slipped my feet inside, securing the top with the enclosed tape strips. Then I put my feet up for an hour and spent some QT with my Netflix queue. After 60 minutes, I rinsed the gel off my feet. If you haven't heard of foot peels, seen the results on TikTok, or tried one yourself, allow me: A foot peel is a baggie of exfoliants—usually glycolic, alpha hydroxy or lactic acids—that you slip onto your foot. After allowing it to absorb, you remove, cleanse and...nothing happens. At first. According to Frey, foot peels are entirely safe, unless your feet have any active wounds and sores. But because of the strength of the acidic blends you're dealing with, it's also important to diligently follow instructions. Don't leave foot peels on longer than indicated, or apply to other areas of your body.
