These masks work great…IF you follow a certain process. With the first mask, I followed some advice from reading reviews, but it didn’t work as well as it should have. So, the second time I used the mask, I followed the manufacturer’s directions more to a “T”, and had fantastic results.
First, just some pointers you need to consider before, during, and/or after use:
• Do not use unless it is okay to lose your polish. So, do not waste a good, paid pedi just to use this product, because it will make the polish “gummy,” and remove it and whatever is left is too damaged to leave on. I would use when it’s time for your next pedi.
• Be prepared to take some time in your downtime during your day/evening.
• Consider buying a sugar scrub or something of the sort.
• Consider having a good foot cream or a good, thick lotion/cream.
• If you scrub off the dead skin and moisturize, you CAN wear flip flops or sandals, but depending on how much skin you have shedding, you may want to try and refrain from wearing those types of foot wear during this process…even if for the simple fact that you won’t have a good polish job on those toesies. 😉
Okay, so the first time I soaked my feet first before wearing the booties and the second time I did not. Anddddd, the second time worked so much better. Not sure if that had any play into it, but take it for what you will.
A lot of people also mentioned struggling with getting the booties opened. I did too, but I realized that it was because there was NO opening…on any bootie, in either pouch. So I took a pair of sharp scissors and just cut along the top of the bootie, trying to cut off as little as possible. Once I did that, there was no problem getting into them at all.
I am a size 11 and actually have a nerve disease from a crush injury 8 years ago that causes my right leg to swell, so my right ankle is larger than my left. With that being said, I had no problems whatsoever with them fitting.
You will feel a nice, cooling effect while the booties are on but it’s nothing you won’t be able to handle unless you have a condition or something if the sort.
So, before cutting an opening into the booties, I moved the gel-like material around with my hands and made sure it was evenly spread throughout the bootie and then I cut the slit into the bootie, slipped the first foot into one bootie and took a rubberband and secured it to make sure the bootie stayed up and stayed stationary as to where it naturally fit. Then, I proceeded to do the same to the second foot. The first go-around, I left it on pretty close to the 90 minutes…maybe even 105 minutes or so. The second time, I propped my feet up for SNL and actually left them on there for 2.5 hours. Once I removed the bootie, during the first time, I just let the gel-like material dry on my feet. The second use, I just wiped off the excess gel and let them dry for about 10 minutes. Each time I used this product, I lotioned up my feet and put socks on for the night and went to sleep.
It took 2-3 days each time for me to see skin start to peel from my feet. My morning shower definitely started the process along, but it wasn’t enough time for my feet to soak up as much water as it needed to for this product to work. So, once I started to see the skin peel, I would soak my feet for about 20-30 minutes in an evening foot water bath soak. After about 20 min, I took the first foot out of the soak (I just added some body wash to really hot water to my foot soak that created some bubbles and just relaxed for a bit), and the first time nothing else really happened much more than what would be scrubbed off in the shower, but the second time, I pulled my first foot out and immediately said “whoaaaa!” There was skin detached all over my foot. So, as I still left my other foot soaking, I started peeling the skin off that was easy to peel. I even got my partner to help me because there was a lot to peel and he kinda likes that stuff anyway lol. So, once the “big peels” came off, I used a sugar scrub to scrub my feet and again, a ton of skin came off. I would continue to dip it into the water to rinse the skin off my foot until I was ready to work on the second foot. I allowed the first foot to soak again in the water bath as I went through the same procedure for the second foot. I scrubbed good on those difficult parts of my foot where we normally get the most dead skin. I made sure to get each toe good because those even shed completely around the whole toe and in between them. I finished and rested the second foot back into the water, pulled out the first foot again and had more work to do! But I just took a dry washcloth that had a lot of “scrubbing fabric designs” instead of just a smooth washcloth, and rubbed/dried my foot off and then peeled off anything else I could. I left it out of the water from this point and then did the same on the second foot; rubbed it and dried it with the dry washcloth and then let it dry.
I trimmed around my toenails because I could see the dead skin around them and it was easier to use clippers and a cuticle remover to “clean up” around the toes. I then used some Aquaphor Healing Ointment and got my feet pretty heavily with that stuff, put a sock on each foot after applying the Aquaphor, and went to sleep.
I waited a day between each nightly soak/sugar scrub/peeling and just scrubbed my feet in the shower. It took about 3-4 nightly soaks (with a day rest in between) to get it all taken care of. The heels were the hardest part and that’s what really took me the most time and why it took so many soaks, but the time I put into it was what made it work so fantastically in the end. (And it gave me an excuse to just kick it and not ‘be bothered’ because my feet were in a water bath!)
So I’m not sure why the first time didn’t yield the same results as the second time, but the only differences in my way of using this product was:
1. I soaked my feet BEFORE placing the booties on rather than just putting them on clean, dry feet.
2. I left the booties on about an hour longer than the directions say to.
3. I used products to scrub my feet each time I soaked during my second use and soaked them a tad longer than the first go at it.
4. I used regular lotion with socks at night the first time. The second time, I used a way thicker moisturizer and made sure they were reallyyyyy moisturized with a much thicker sock.
5. I let the material just air dry on my feet the first time, while the second time, I used a towel to gently remove any excess gel material.
So this product takes time and dedication and a little elbow grease. But holy heck, no pedi place could EVER, nor have they EVER gotten my feet this smooth and soft.
I was so happy to go get them polished again after I was completely finished “shedding” and wear all my shoes that showed my feet off as much as possible!
(And ladies, I don’t know about the rest of you who have used this with success, but because my feet were more soft and silky than my partner had ever felt, he sure as heck rubbed my feet a lot that next week when all was complete!)
I mean, c’mon…score all around! Go on and get ya some! 😉😇

How To Use Soft & Smooth Gentle Peeling Foot Mask

Don’t waste your money
This didn’t even work, don’t waste your money.UPDATE:PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT BUY THIS.I bought this a couple months ago and my feet were never dry, never cracked, pretty smooth besides some callouses from working out. This is how it’s been for 20 years. I’ve used a peeling foot mask before (the baby feet one) and it worked great and did the job perfectly. So I expected this one to do the same. I didn’t know how wrong I was.I followed the instructions to a T and now months and months later my feet are still affected by it. Almost right after taking these off my feet began to crack in the heels and everywhere else. I thought this was normal because it was a peeling foot mask. I was so wrong. It’s been like five months and my feet are still like this. I just want my old feet back because now I have the feet of an elderly woman. Beyond dissatisfied. come on, try to tell me my feet don’t look terrible. This has never EVER happened until I tried this foot mask.
