And almost a month later my feet are still freaking peeling.
It took almost 2 weeks to start to peel and it was ugly for a few days, but now, two leeks later, my feet still look like a sunburn peel and my major calluses are still there. I soak, I scrub, I lotion and I still don't stop.
The things we do for beauty.

I was already afraid to try one of those peels. Your post reinforces that fear. I hope it stops soon. I use THIS SCRUB on my feet and whole body once a week. I really love it! |

I had the opposite problem. I tried one...soaked my feet first, followed the directions to the letter, and just minor peeling. I was totally underwhelmed.

I am totally afraid to try them.
I use the Amope foot exfoliator and then apply O'Keeffes foot cream with socks on.

Might have to purchase some of those fish that nibble it all off. J/k. Doesn't sound fun.

I did one a few weeks ago and I finally stopped peeling the other day. Mine says not to use lotion until the peeing is done. That slows the process.

I wish I had started the process sooner, but CA weather can be so strange, you never know when spring will hit. Like I said, it didn't get rid of my super thick calluses, but my feet are pretty smooth otherwise. |

I do the foot peel a couple of times a year. It’s amazing. And yes, the lotion is what’s causing yours to take forever. Suck it up and wear shoes (not sandals) for a few days with no lotion.

I did one last month for the first time. It took 3 days before starting to peel, then it lasted for about a week. I soaked my feet everyday and used lotion.

I did one a couple of weeks ago. It started peeling on day 2, stopped about day 7. Now my feet are pretty soft, other than the heels which are a tiny bit thicker skin. I didn’t do baby feet, it was a lavender scented one off of amazon.

Is there not a more natural way of doing this? Soaking in soapy water and scrub some or some other more natural product ,home remedy kind of thing?

I am pretty sure that would be one step above being water boarded on my list of fears. |

I was on a trip and figured when I saw a place that I should try it. It tickled more than anything but my feet weren't super smooth after I was done. Some of the fish were kind of lazy and we were there at around 4pm so then I spent the last half of the time wondering if they had been feasting on big nasty man feet earlier and that led to a realization that they cant sanitize a fishes mouth so I scrubbed them as soon as it was over and spent the next month worried that I had a terrible disease and was dying a slow death everytime my feet itched or ached. I have a tendency to overthink things but I definitely should have googled the possibilities before instead of after. |

I'm going to take this as advice to do it at the very beginning of winter or even late fall, lol.  |

I am an over thinker too! Was this outside the U.S.? I was in Rome. I had never seen one in the US so we decided to just try it. Recently I've heard that there is one in the mall at Polaris in Columbus. I cant see how it's a good idea and kind of want to go check it out just to see. There have to be some sort of cleanliness standard but I cant wrap my mind around it. |

I think everyone gets different results. I cannot get smooth feet with any scrub no matter how often I use it. The peel works for me for a good 6 weeks and then the build up begins again. I have few friends who can use a scrub and be fine. Mine peel a lot from the bootie peel, but it never looks like what happens in the advertisement. Personally, I think those people have gone a very loooong time without any foot care to build up to that kind of a peel.

I did mine a week ago and the peeling started a couple of days ago.
Yesterday I did some yard work and that really caused some more peeling on the bottom of my feet. Where my skin has not peeled it is "shiny" so I am assuming that will have to peel at some point. My feet did not have a lot of callouses since I use a pumice stone regularly.
I am not sure if I will try it again, it depends on how my feet respond, right now they are tender when I am walking - so I hope they toughen up some what!
But I do wish I did this sooner since it is pretty much sandal weather here. I am thinking it would be nice if I could of just applied this to my heels where I have thicker callouses.

I've tried various brands but the only one that really works is the Baby Feet brand name. If you have really thick callouses you may have to treat again in another two months or so.
