Tony Moly - Shiny Foot Peeling Liquid

For whatever reasons, my heels start to crack a couple of weeks ago and has a mild unpleasant odor :x It looks really ugly and i'm stopping myself from wearing shoes that will show my heels when i walk. I tried to exfoliate my feet and put on lots of foot lotion, but it doesn't help much. Decided to give this product a try when i saw it on GMarket. Got it off at $9.40, inclusive of delivery fees.

Did i say I'm into GMarket recently? Some of the products you see on the site are from Korea and prices are definitely lower than what you see in local market. subscribe to their newsletter if you have not, and be updated with their promotions :)



Description
This special treatment for foot calluses contains plant-derived extracts, and will make your feet soft and supple. It removes rough dead skin cells from your feet, leaving your feet smooth and silky soft.

How to use:
Pour the liquid into the socks and gently place foot in and leave on for 1.5hr. (you may also wear the socks first and then pour the liquid in). Rinse off with lukewarm water.
From days 2-5, dead and rough skin will start peeling off from the feet. You may very gently rub off these dead skin cells while in the shower.



Not sure if you can see the picture above clearly. Anyway, the sock is designed in the way that you can tie them up, so there's no problem with moving around in that pair of socks. It works like a foot mask. The liquid is cooling and has a pleasant smell. Throughout that 1.5hr feet pampering session, there is no discomfort feeling at all.

I did not observe any immediate result after the 1.5hr session, other than some flaking on my heels.The dead skin start coming off from day 2 onwards and stopped by the 5th day. My feet felt much softer, smoother and healthier by end of the week. That's my HERO product :D

As expected, my feet look terribly dry and ugly during that 4 days of peeling. But it looks like baby feet now. Overall, i like the result the product gives.  I wouldnt recommend that you use the product frequently, cause i think the chemicals in the liquid can be quite bad to the skin.

When i'm younger, the skin on my palms always peel off during a certain period of the year, without me doing anything to it. I guess its fine cause it only peels off once a year. Its like changing a new set of skin. With that kind of thinking in mind, I wont use any of such chemicals on my feet for the rest of the year. Afterall, i don't know the effects of using such chemicals frequently. I promise i'll take good care of my feet now, and do everything to prevent it from cracking.

How to Exfoliate Feet for a Pedicure

  1. Buff the calluses and dry skin on your feet with an emery board. Use gentle back and forth strokes to remove the dead, dry outer layers. Do this before putting the feet in the water bath.

  2. Soak the feet in a warm foot bath for at least five minutes. You may add salt or other products that soften the skin if you wish.

  3. Lift one foot out of the water and apply exfoliation cream in small circular motions. Apply the cream to a loofa sponge or pumice stone to help reduce calluses. Exfoliation increases the circulation, stimulates the lymph flow, removes dead skin and smoothes the skin's surface. Be gentle when applying to the top of the foot.

  4. Place the foot back into the foot bath and rinse the exfoliation cream off.

  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 on the other foot.

  6. Remove feet from the foot bath and dry them. Wrap them in a heated towel for five minutes.

  7. Apply a gentle lotion and massage it into the foot. Peppermint lotions can leave the feet feeling refreshed and tingly.
