Our feet are probably the part of our body that feels the most pressure and gets overexerted. It happens when we stand, walk, run and so on. However, many of us tend to neglect proper care for them and we don’t have the time nor the dough to book a pedicure appointment regularly. That’s why Beauty Insider is introducing to you the world of foot masks that will moisturise your pretty tootsies.

A foot peel is essentially a chemical peel that you apply to your feet. When you put these masks inside plastic “socks” or “booties,” they chemically exfoliate the dead skin cells on your feet while simultaneously moisturising, leaving your feet smooth and baby soft. They’re especially useful at this time of year when sandals and flip flops are quickly becoming your go-to footwear.

1. Baby Foot Original Exfoliation Foot Peel

Baby Foot © Original Exfoliation Foot Peel (16 Natural Extracts)

This best-seller is not only one of the most popular, but also one of the most intense selections available. The Baby Foot Original Exfoliation Foot Peel is a fruit-acid-based solution that exfoliates and moisturises feet while also inducing peeling and leaving them considerably softer. It contains 16 distinct natural extracts and salicylic acid to induce peeling and leave feet visibly smoother. For an hour, put on the pre-soaked plastic booties.

Then, over the following three days, marvel as all of the dead skin peels away. After around 5 to 7 days, you’ll notice some peeling, but the complete results can take up to two weeks, so plan ahead if you want to show them off.

Amazon.com: Patchology PoshPeel Pedi Cure - Intensive Foot Peel Mask  Treatment and Deep Skin Exfoliation for Calloused and Dry Cracked Feet -  Achieve Baby-soft and Renewed Skin (1 Pair) : Everything Else

This peel is a little more expensive than the others, but we think it’s worth it because it’s so versatile. Depending on how much exfoliation you desire, you may pour different amounts of the active essence into the mask socks. This product contains AHAs and BHAs like glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and citric acids, as well as a variety of other chemicals. The progressive therapy takes three to seven days on average, which is faster than other treatments, and keeps the majority of the pedicure polish intact.
