Most people don't pay their
feet enough attention and we get a build up of
hard skin that is often
difficult to remove without visiting a
podiatrist or
pedicurist. For
busy mums taking time out for
beauty treatments which can be expensive isn't an option, so products that can be
used at home are a real boon.
Footner Exfoliating Socks offer a single application to remove
hard skin. The socks are slipped on the
feet and fastened with a tape. I didn't find the tape very effective and resorted to some Cellotape. You the don some socks and wait an hour for the o do their work.
Afterwards you
wash your feet in warm water and then wait.
It takes five to ten days for the
skin to begin
peeling and it isn't a very pleasant sight (as critical daughter constantly pointed out!). The
peeling effect can last up to two weeks. On my feet the
peeling began at five days and lasted about a week. Dring this time you should not apply
moisturisers.
Unfortunately I didn't read through to the end of the
tips (not very clear on the box) and missed the advice to
apply Vaseline to areas you didn't want to
treat. Thinking about this, I think I'd prefer a
product that you could
apply to the actual
hard skin rather than the whole
foot.
However,
Footner Exfoliating Socks did their job and most of the
hard skin was removed. Obvioulsy if you are treating your
feet before a special occasion or before a
holiday you should
time your application about a month previously.
