to love the grossness of footner

So I saw a few people on here talk about footner & due to the hatred of the skin on my heels I jumped in feet first (pun intended) and bought it - NU at all....however I love it! Probably in an unreasonable manner, I sat for ages last night peeling the gross skin (and txting pics to my equally gross mate)
However I told another friend I was busy this afternoon (no pre arranged plan just a, shall I pop in on travels) as I couldn't wait for baby to have her nap, soak my flaky feet & peal it. I am sure I've got issues haha
Actually I don't care if I am bu - stealth boast on my gross flaky feet!!!

So, this stuff has beautifully removed a layer of skin from all the places where the skin was pretty soft anyway, but has taken absolutely none of the "tough stuff" from balls of feet, heels and so on.... how long does it take? Been a week and lots of peeling in last 3 days or so, but only of the light stuff as I say.

Will it keep going to or do I need to go again?!!?

I've found my tribe! Did mine on Sunday, my feet feel right and look shines, having a very long soak tonight to ease the joy into my life. Very excited

I used the Amazon Cheapie one and left them on overnight with socks over the top. They didn't burn my skin . I just wiped them off with a towel when I got up and they peeled the same as when I left them on for two hours. Sleeping in them was more convenient as I didn't have to sit still for two hours as they are slippy to walk in.

I used some of the amazon cheapo ones on Sunday night and feet have started peeling today - I feel very excited every time I take my socks off to have a look, so far it is just round the toes - can't wait for the bottom of my feet to fall off Grin

Mine always seems to come off in tiny bits rather than great swathes! It's super satisfying :-) I only use the knock offs from Amazon, they work fine

Yeh, I think last time I think I referred to it as "disgusting confetti" when I took my socks off Grin.

Yeah they are socks with chemicals in - I popped some loose bed socks over to keep them in place as if I sat still for an hr my house would fall apart - if u do that its slippery walking round mind I fell on my arse
Kept them on for two hrs & give them a wash over
Afterwards I kept just wearing flip flops and ignoring that they were looking Grosser and grosser - havnt worn socks round the house (if u do wear them ull get flakes in them so take them off with care)
Havnt worn socks in bed - so there's prob some lovely dead skin flakes, but nowt a wash & hoover wont fix
Please tell us if any other the cheeper versions work as well mind so I can do it all the time and not be poor
Flumplet - good luck with ur spot, hold a hot flannel on it to draw it all to the surface :)

I found footner to be a bit pricey so I'm eagerly awaiting my knockoff cheaper version to arrive from China. I can't wait!! I had a massive great big spot on my cheek yesterday which I was very excited about popping, however it turned out to be one of those big oily ones that wasn't going anywhere. Fingers firmly X'd for tomorrow though! Grin

So, this is the sock things right? How long do you wear them for, and does it mean if you wear normal socks afterwards they fill up with loads of skin (eugh). Feet need some help so prepared to give it a go, but not sure DH will be that impressed if I am wearing socks in bed!!!

Do you reckon if I used this stuff on my arms it would clear my psoriasis up Grin

One foot is further normal than the other, but the skin under the peel is so soft - looking forward to the big patches going now!
