What is a foot peel, and how do you use it?
A foot peel is a specialised treatment designed to help remove dead skin from your feet. These products sometimes contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic or lactic acid, to exfoliate the skin gently. Many formulations include botanical extracts like green tea and aloe vera, which may provide soothing benefits.
To use a foot peel:
-
Clean and dry your feet thoroughly: this ensures the peeling solution is applied to clean skin.
-
Place your feet into the provided booties: these booties contain the peeling solution, designed to work over time.
-
Follow the recommended duration on the pack: most foot peels require you to wear the booties for 90–120 minutes.
-
Rinse your feet thoroughly: after the designated time, remove the booties and wash off the solution.
-
Be patient with the peeling process: dead skin typically begins to shed after 7–10 days, revealing the softer skin underneath.
-
Do not overuse: most foot peels are designed to be used once every 6 weeks.
Follow the instructions on the product packaging carefully. If you have any concerns, consult a healthcare professional before using a foot peel.
How often should you use a foot peel?
The duration between foot peels will depend on your skin’s condition and sensitivity. Most foot peels recommend waiting a minimum of 6-8 weeks between peels; however, different formulations may have different requirements noted on their packaging.
Using a foot peel too frequently may cause discomfort, so it’s a good idea to follow the usage instructions and allow time between applications for recovery.
What are the benefits of using a foot peel?
Foot peels may offer the following potential benefits:
-
Exfoliation: they may help remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother texture.
-
Improved appearance: by addressing rough patches and calluses, foot peels may help your feet appear smoother.
-
Hydration and nourishment: many foot peeling masks contain botanical extracts and moisturising agents, which may help support overall foot health.
These treatments may also improve the absorption of moisturisers or foot creams applied after the peeling process, helping you maintain soft, healthy feet.
Foot mask vs foot peel – what’s the difference?
While both foot masks and foot peels care for your feet, and the terms are often used interchangeably, they serve different purposes:
-
Foot peels: focus on exfoliation using AHAs or BHAs to remove dead skin. The results may be gradual, with skin peeling occurring over several days.
-
Foot masks: primarily aim to hydrate and nourish the skin without causing peeling.
Combining the two in your routine may help you maintain foot care and the appearance of your feet.
