S/o feet-who did Baby foot peel?

[persa]

Since it's been established by my toenail post that I have gross feet, I might as well come all the way out and admit how dry and scaly my feet have become in the past couple months. I blame the birkenstock cork sole.

Anyway, if you did the baby foot peel, anything I should know to make it work best other than what's on the instructions?

I forget who did it here and posted a long thread, I want to say it was Sue Sue but I don't know her tag. I couldn't find it on search but I'm on my phone.

I have it sitting in my medicine cabinet. I just need to do it, lol!

I did it! Loved it.

I did it and it worked. It made the top of my feet red and a little peely for a couple of days, something to keep in mind.

I will do it again this spring.

Soak your feet for 30 minutes before applying. Soak your feet daily to increase peeling. I've done it 3 times and had best results from doing the above.

Since we're asking questions: does it really mess up your nail polish? I have it sitting in my bathroom closet, but every time I think to use it, I've just given myself a new pedicure.

Currently in the peeling stage now. Love it!

I was going to, then read somewhere that you shouldn't do it while nursing. No idea why or if it's just a CYA statement, but I was too lazy to call my doc and check. I'll do it when I finally wean DS2.

I gave this to a friend after reading a post on here. She loved it! I might just have to try it out now.

Dh does it periodically. He loves it and it works for him. He just follows the directions

It has glycolic and lactic acid which are AHA's and are safe during pregnancy so I would think they'd be OK during breastfeeding

I did it and it was great.  It did not mess up my nail polish bluetopaz.  The peeling stage was icky so I would not rec this during sandal season. I did it in October and I will probably do it in the spring again.  I still use a foot file thing, but my feet are much better.

sarahbear, how long did you soak your feet on the subsequent days?

@cse1960, why two? Does it not work well enough with just one?

Also, should I go sockless while I'm in the process or are socks OK, you know, to hide the grossness.

Oh, I have a foot cream that would be awesome to maintain the softness, I bet. Gold Bond ultimate softening foot cream. When I was good about using it, I had pedicurists comment on how soft my feet were.

And then they gave me a toenail fungus and I stopped taking care of my feet, lol.

I'd soak them about 15 to 20 min. And I waited until I saw signs of peeling before I started. The first time I didn't do this and I noticed better results by soaking. It wasn't possible every day, but I tried.

OK, I really want to do this but I need a time when H can take the babies for a solid 30+ minutes so I can do the soaking in peace.

Mine did. 

And, the peeling was magnificent. Don't do it when you plan to wear sandals in the next week or two.

Gah, I'm so freaking excited to do this!
