![]() ![]() As for the hard-callus buildup, I think that's something that's starting to come back a lot sooner than I expected. When the dead skin was first starting to peel off and the new skin was showing, that new skin did still feel moisturized, and I didn't feel any irritation or any pain walking on my new baby feet. Do my feet feel and look exfoliated and moisturized? I would say yes and yes. So, it's been about three weeks since I had the chemical foot peel, and this is what my feet look like today. I was thankfully glad to have my feet back. The area that still had some peeling to do was the sides of my feet. It looks pretty gross, but it was an overall painless peeling process.īy day 11, all of the dead skin from the bottom of my feet had completely peeled off. Thankfully, the freshly peeled feet didn't hurt, and I didn't feel any stinging when I walked. The drastic peeling continued from day five to about day eight. I think that going to the gym or showering and soaking your feet will generally make it peel faster. I came back from the gym, and oh, boy, did my feet peel. Or, like, you know when you step on a really good carpet? No? Why don't we go in between the toes?Īt the end of day three, I started seeing peeling in random spots. ![]() OK, you know what? Just imagine a facial brush, the way it feels on your face, on your foot. Someone tickling your foot with a feather. It's just like some type of liquid just going on and swiping on my feet. Like, it was painful, and that was, like, all the acids. It's derived from apples, and it's actually very moisturizing for the skin as well and exfoliating.Ĭaroline: The main difference is, with a face peel, the minute they put on the peel, like, my face burned. And then there's lactic acid, which is derived from milk and sugar, so it's very hydrating, but it's also exfoliating. Salicylic is extremely exfoliating in nature, but it's also anti-inflammatory. Nidah: So, the chemicals in the peel are salicylic acid, lactic acid, and malic acid. After the moisturizing agent is wiped off, it's time for the peel. ![]() Ooh, that feels so good! The warm, wet towel is my favorite part of a facial, and now it's my favorite part of a foot peel, too. It's kind of, like, relaxing me a little more. Yep, you're definitely needing a foot peel.Ĭaroline: The first step is the moisturizing agent, which stays on your feet for about three minutes. So, right here, if you can see the whiteness, and there's some cracking on the side, see the sole right here, then on the sides here. So it's really important that you do get a chemical foot peel because it will definitely dissolve the calluses.Ĭaroline: Nidah recommends a chemical foot peel about three times a year. Calluses interfere with moisturizing the feet and proper health of the feet, because if you have all this dead-skin-cell buildup that's hardened, obviously, no matter what you apply, it's not going to get absorbed. We would do a hydrating step to bring out the natural moisturizing factor in the feet, which is basically pulling moisture from the dermis, and on the other end, it would be exfoliating the dead skin cells off. With my peel, it is a two-step, so it'd actually be hydrating. The major benefits would be, obviously, deep exfoliation. It's just natural to be stuck in shoes and socks and those dead skin cells would be building up. Nidah Barber-Raymond: People would come to get a chemical peel for their feet because there's a lot of dead-skin-cell buildups. What am I supposed to expect on my feet? Like, what does a chemical peel for your feet do? But Nidah from The Peel Connection has been doing chemical peels for over 10 years, so I knew I was in good hands. OK, I'm not gonna lie, I was super nervous going into this. ![]()
