Does anyone have any experience with Baby Foot Peels? Link
I have heard about them from Kate (The Small Things Blog) but wanted to see if anyone here had any tips/tricks before I use the one I bought. |

Soak your feet for a good 30 min to an hour before. Dry your feet and then leave the baby foot masks on for an hour. Rinse the excess off after as well. In about three days get ready to leave skin EVERYWHERE!

I just bought one from work, but haven't tried it yet. The peeling skin everywhere is putting me off, because I hate wearing socks and envision this trail of skin everywhere I go  I really do need to use it though. |

I actually choose to do it this week specifically because I will be able to stay home most of the week without going in public. So maybe the trail of skin wont be as obvious to others! LOL SaveSave |

I tried it right before Christmas. It worked, but not as well as I was hoping based on pictures I was seeing online. I'm not sure if I didn't do a good enough job soaking before or in the first couple of days, or if my feet were just that bad to begin with. I did have a lot of skin come off when soaking days afterwards, and my heels were starting to look better, but the are still cracked & dried. I will most likely give it another try before summer.

I used a different brand because the reviews indicated the Baby Foot 'bags' for your feet were too small if you have really big feet. The stuff works. Your feet will feel softer even before the peeling starts.
I was a little nervous the first time, and had them for a while before trying the peel. The first time it took over a week before my feet started peeling. The second time, I think the peeling started a little sooner. It lasts for a while too, so ithe process is not over with in a couple days.

It’s about softening the skin so it can absorb the mask. |

If you’re wearing shoes you’re not going to leave a trail of skin everywhere you go. Lol I am a ballet flat no socks kinda girl, I had no problem at work and stuff once the peeling started.

Totally would not mind finding a less expensive brand (if they work). SaveSave |

I do them 2-3 times a year and the peels really do work. Last time I tried a less expensive one sold by Aprilis. Not only did it not work as well, the lavender smell was so strong that it triggered an asthma attack! I'm sticking to the original one from now on!

I want to try this so bad, but I’m diabetic and afraid it will do more harm than good. I love looking at photos of the results!

I tried it and wasn’t overly impressed. There was some peeling, no skin trails. Nothing magical. I wouldn’t bother doing it again.

I use an off brand from Amazon. One trick to save money is to only use one of the socks. Put it on one foot for an hour or so and then switch it to the other foot. I do this and get the same results I get from using both socks. So your basically getting two treatments for the cost of one.

Mine didn't have the effect I was hoping for either. Did my feet peel? Yes, Did I still have some bad heels? Yes. I got a different brand right before Christmas, and it worked even less than the Baby Feet peels. ETA: I did the peel about a week before a beach vacation and they never peeled enough to notice. |

SaveSaveSoft Touch Foot Peel Mask, from Amazon. I just reordered - $19.95 for two sets. I’ve used this brand, too, with great results. The first time, I was just about to declare the experiment a complete failure when the peeling finally started. Then, it seemed like it would never end. Really, it probably went on for about 7-10 days and only days 3-5 were noticeable pieces of peeling skin. The other days it was noticeable only after showering or soaking my feet. I did it a second time about 3 months later. The peeling started faster and ended after only 4-5 days since my feet were in better shape, I suppose. |

I’ve never heard of this. Is it just to get rid of dry heels or...? I just use a pumice stone on my heels in the shower and rub them with Aquaphor nightly.

Bought them a few months ago and now they have been sitting in the box unopened. I don't know what I am afraid of - maybe just that things are going to be a peeling mess. Hopefully I will use them soon and see what its all about.

I used it once and it worked very well. I have another one ready to use.
I'm wondering how long in between you should wait before using it again. I wouldn't want to overdo it.

I tried one and it did absolutely nothing. I was very disappointed.

I really do need to use it though.
