Decided to buy footners, then this happens

[FelicityBeedle]

Was going to do my bi annual footner treat, got out of the bath after I ordered them and my feet decided to do this with no chemical help! I’m impressed and heartbroken

Going ahead regardless! Kindly ignore my fat ankles (they look worse because of the sellotape!) I will update the thread if any interest

Think I sellotaped them too tightly. Picture was taken an hour after removal! Today my feet are feeling quite tights and look dryish. Didn’t protect the top of my feet enough I don’t think as they’re also very tight feeling

Had to run after cat outside and this happened (hence dirty feet), never happened so quickly before! I know I’m getting no responses but I’m leaving this thread for all the people like me who browse SC late at night!

Omg I need these

Where are these from OP?

Amazon foot peels! These are the off brand ones called eclat but all brands seem to work

Oooohhhhhh!!! Keep up the updates pls @FelicityBeedle !

My poor ankles, they’ve never started peeling when I’ve done these before, hopefully they’ll be lovely and smooth too!

I shed once a year like a snake. It's about time for my annual shed.

Me too shehas! Usually every May. Hasn't happened yet this year though

What is this and please tell me if I need it in my life. I have hard bits on the edges of both heels and on one big toe, which I slough off with a pumice stone in the shower but it always comes back really quickly. Will whatever this is get rid of it properly? I have athletes foot between a couple of toes so maybe I shouldn't try it?

This is the exact one I’m using this time. Even more peeling today, seems to be at least two layers of skin!

When I’ve had loads of hard skin I’ve filed before doing it. I’m not sure about with athletes foot, might be a bit sore?

Soaking is the key. I did my feet last month but back problems meant I couldnt peel so just had to rub where I could

@mogtheexcellent that is torturous, having peeling feet and being unable to pick at them!

Most of the rest seems to have come off in the bath and was so grim I won’t subject you to pictures. Wearing black socks to bed last night to catch any last bits

Looks amazing! Thanks for specifying which one you're using. Think I might give it a go once the athletes foot has cleared up.

Caveat: if you don't put vaseline on the tops of your feet and toes to protect them, you might end up with painful, red and sore skin there for weeks. Ask me how I know....

(But the soles were GLORIOUS.)

I put moisturised on rather than Vaseline this time, and the tops have peeled too leaving lovely skin @ArcheryAnnie

I never protect the top of my feet. They get nicely exfoliated. Only dead skin comes off with the acid.

Though I used an out of date knock off one, this time and need to repeat it.
