Footner Exfoliating Socks

Most people don't pay their feet enough attention and we get a build up of hard skin that is often difficult to remove without visiting a podiatrist or pedicurist. For busy mums taking time out for beauty treatments which can be expensive isn't an option, so products that can be used at home are a real boon.

Footner Exfoliating Socks offer a single application to remove hard skin. The socks are slipped on the feet and fastened with a tape. I didn't find the tape very effective and resorted to some Cellotape. You the don some socks and wait an hour for the  o do their work.

Afterwards you wash your feet in warm water and then wait.

It takes five to ten days for the skin to begin peeling and it isn't a very pleasant sight (as critical daughter constantly pointed out!). The peeling effect can last up to two weeks. On my feet the peeling began at five days and lasted about a week. Dring this time you should not apply moisturisers.

Unfortunately I didn't read through to the end of the tips (not very clear on the box) and missed the advice to apply Vaseline to areas you didn't want to treat. Thinking about this, I think I'd prefer a product that you could apply to the actual hard skin rather than the whole foot.

However, Footner Exfoliating Socks did their job and most of the hard skin was removed. Obvioulsy if you are treating your feet before a special occasion or before a holiday you should time your application about a month previously.
