My footner results *Warning Photos

user1494055864 · 28/04/2020 15:42

Here are my skin results from using Footner. I'm not sure how many pictures I'm allowed to post in one day, so I will start with before and after of my big toe, as that was my worst dry skin.

It never worked for me. Sheets of healthy skin would come off but it still left the hard skin. I do have hooves though.

user1494055864 · 28/04/2020 15:54

I'll try and upload my heels. They have always had really deep cracks, so I think this is the best outcome I will get.
I will continue using Flexitol cream on them now I have finished peeling.

I'm not sure I wouldn't get the same results with a hard skin file or pumice stone followed my a good moisturiser tbh. They look nice though.

They look great :)

My toes were too bad to file, it was too painful to use my scholl roller on them, and they were much too dry for the flexitol cream to sink in!
The footner didn't hurt them at all, although, due to lockdown, I have been going for longer walks, and I found I was more prone to getting blisters on my good skin, more than usual. So although I thought it was a good idea to do it in lockdown before the summer, it meant that some days I was unable to go for a long walk due to my newly formed blisters!

I did mine on Saturday. They have just started peeling. I'm loving it.

AnPo · 28/04/2020 17:27

I did it last Thursday and had just about given up on anything happening. Until low and behold after my shower this morning I noticed some slight peeling and now my feet resemble that of a 90 year old. It's gross but fascinating!

Joyfulincolour · 28/04/2020 19:14

Great results OP. You could stop them from building up again by using Newton's Chiropody Foam. It's about £2 from Amazon and you rub a bar of soap onto the hard foam then rub your heels with it. Works a treat! Then apply Flexitol each night!

whataballbag · 28/04/2020 19:16

I'm so jealous I did a pound land one and nothing happened!

PutOnAHappyFace · 28/04/2020 19:26

I'm so jealous. Mine hasn't worked at all, I even soaked my feet every night for 4 nights at the start.

HelloChompy · 28/04/2020 20:07

Another jealous one here! I used the superdrug one 3 or 4 weeks ago and no change at all.

VioletCharlotte · 28/04/2020 21:21

I did mine 9 days ago and very little has happened. Some peeling, but the dead skin on my heels hasn't budged. I'm so disappointed!

user1494055864 · 28/04/2020 21:22

Thanks for the tip joyful I have just ordered the newtons sponge.
I think you need the specific Footner brand for it to peel properly.
It's a shame it hasn't worked for some of you! I did one last year, but unless you keep up with creams every night, it just comes back.

OMG!! I'm off to buy some if just for the peeling process alone Grin

Strongbeatsskinny · 28/04/2020 21:30

For those that it hasn’t worked for do NOT wash feet before you put the footner socks on. Don’t wash your feet as soon as the footner socks are taken off just dry them. Start the soaking Process the day after Using the footner socks this gives the chemicals times to settle in.

getyoursocksoffhoney · 28/04/2020 22:11

I did it 8 days ago now and I'm pretty much at the end of the peeling process now, I'll add my pics tomorrow once my phone has battery again!

getyoursocksoffhoney · 28/04/2020 22:13

Also I've done it a couple of times now and this time has definitely worked the best, I'm not sure if this is the reason why but I did completely forget I'd done it until 4 days later so that was my first soak and by the next day (day 5) the majority of my foot peeled off!

JamieFrasersSassenach · 28/04/2020 23:23

Have you tried this flexitol OP? It has a much higher urea content and really does make a huge difference to cracked/dry feet - as long as you use it twice a day to begin with

Crickets · 28/04/2020 23:46

I did it recently. Couldn't be fecked with peeling for days so used the Newton's Chiropody Foam when it all went dry. I use it everyday on my heels in the shower now

TattiePants · 29/04/2020 00:01

I’ve order Footners for DH and me today plus a Newton’s sponge and Flexitol. Can’t wait to get started.
