Get the Gloss: Foot Peels & Exfoliating Socks

The health, wellness and beauty experts at Get the Gloss investigated the latest ways to keep our feet smooth – foot peels and exfoliating socks.

The article was entitled:

“Are foot peels and exfoliating socks the key to baby soft feet?”

Exfoliating socks wrap your feet in acids to slough off  the outer layer of hard, dead skin. The idea is to reveal fresher, newer and softer skin beneath.

The article explains:

“All you have to do is slip your feet into the gel-filled socks, strap them on and chill. There’s no sloughing, filing or elbow grease to speak of – instead, an exfoliating acid blend begins to nibble at your dead, dry and hard skin.”

Get the Gloss asked Clinicbe Aesthetic Physician, Dr Barbara Kubicka to explain exactly how foot peels work. She said:

“They break down the outer layers of hard dead skin, kick-starting a peeling process which then encourages new skin cells to form.”

Ingredients vary, but most foot peels designed for use at home are based on an AHA formulation (alpha hydroxy acid). This often will include glycolic and lactic acid. It may also include beta hydroxy salicylic acid. In addition, exfoliating socks or foot peels also include moisture-boosting ingredients (e.g. glycerin, vitamin E, plant oils) to further help soften the skin.

The process can be messy, as significant amount of skin is shed once the peel gets to work. However, results can be impressive and long-lasting.

The article suggests a choice of 7 foot peel products to try at home.
