Baby foot update

[TrickyBob]

It takes about a week.

[ClaireOtoms]

I did Baby Foot a week and a half ago, and I am officially over it. How much skin can there possibly be?! STOP IT, FEET!

I've also been trying to come up with a clever way to tie Baby Foot into skin suiting, but...I've got nothing.

ETA:  A wordplay, that is.  I'm not actually trying to turn my own skin into a suit.  omg.

What is this?

My feet naturally do this every time I go to the beach. It's so gross, I can't imagine willingly doing it to myself, lol!

[JayhawkGirl]

I think I need this stuff.

One of my weird postpartum things with both kids has been terribly cracked, rough feet. I actually had a throw rug get stuck to me like Velcro a couple of weeks ago.

[devonpow]

I bought this a few weeks ago but am afraid to use it! I run about 3-4 days a week...do you think it would interfere? Like, is the new skin sensitive? Am I going to be at the gym trailing giant peels of skin, like toilet paper stuck to my shoe??

Don't your feet develop blisters after all the skin is gone?

[starburst604]

I am both grossed out and fascinated by this baby skin stuff. I am so repulsed by the idea of my feet sloughing, but want to try it so badly.

[missyny]

Oooh, you're doing that? I read about it a few months ago and was intrigued! You'll have to tell us more in, like, a month from now...if your tootsies are still baby soft.

[cbwm1]

I bought some, but I'm too skerred to do it.

[snorky]

I've done it twice so far and have had no blistering. It was a little shocking at first to step into a cold floor once all the skin had peeled off, but there was no real sensitivity. If you're thinking about doing it, go for the real baby foot peel from amazon. It usually costs about $25, but is sometimes $19.99. I tried an imposter shortly after I did my first peel thinking that it would just be a less effective baby peel, but it completely jacked my feet up. I ended up having to do another baby foot anyway, so just wasted the $10 I spent on the imposter.

[demelza]

These threads are gross but I can't stay away. Haha.

[Marle]

Do you use it only in the callous parts of your feet or all around?

How many applications does a tub from amazon have?

How often do you do it?

I love that we have our community *consumer reports* and I have benefitted from it already.

My feet are peeling. I didn't think about how utterly gross this was going to be. I'm having to wear socks all the time today. I feel like chelle's husband Skinflake. Ew. How long does it take to peel completely, @cse1960??

Yeah I didn't account for he wearing socks all the time. And I almost puked everytime I took the socks off

[Deleted]

I need to try this! My feet are terribly dry and rough these days.

[tdk2]

Ewwww. But I probably should think about doing this. My feet need help.

[takeonyou]

It's amazing! Do it.

No! Not at all. Not even a little.

It's just that thick layer of calloused skin that comes off. Not any soft skin. 

It's AMAZING.

This is my worry too. My feet are pretty blister-prone anyway ... But they're also scaly on the heels.

No blisters! It's totally worth it.

My heals are still a little rough, but a million times better. I only peeled for about 3 days. I would soak my feet and peel that way so more would come off, and then the last two days I soaked and the scrubed with a wash cloth. No blisters at all.

[wildfloweragain]

Socks all day. Ha! Its going to be about a week. It was definitely a drawback for me. I don't mind socks but the pieces of foot were nonstop.

Someone needs to take photos to document the process from start to finish.

Yes. It sounds gross, but enquiring minds want to know.

I have some....

[hymen]

I want to do this so badly. After the baby is born I'm going to order some.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

I used it but it did nothing on my heels. Everywhere else was great. I am going to do it again, but do more prep (use the exfoliating file for about a week leading up to make the skin on my heels as thin as possible).

[Deleted]

What about professional footwear? Can I do this and still wear heels to work? I own no boots, ftr.

[elleblue]

How long after you soak until you start peeling?

[TrickyBob]

@bigtowlittletoe Can you wear dress socks with your heels? You can do everything normal except go barefoot, because of all the peeling and it will peel some on top of the foot.

elleblue I started, I think, 4 days after I soaked.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

Mine started 10 days after.

***WARNING: FEET PHOTOS***

SPOILER: Click to show

 My feet are NOT that yellow in person, the flash of the old ass iphone + crappy lighting made it super duper yellow. I have super rough heels, so it doesn't look like much but it took off some hard calluses but I need to do it again to get rid of the really tough stuff.
