GINGER&ME Foot Peel

A foot peel is a specialised foot peeling mask designed to exfoliate and remove the rough, dead skin cells from the feet, resulting in smoother and softer skin. It typically involves applying a gel or liquid solution to the feet that contains exfoliating ingredients.

A foot peel mask offers several benefits, primarily centred around exfoliation and rejuvenation of the skin on your feet. Here are the key benefits:

·         Intense Exfoliation – A foot peeling mask effectively remove dead skin cells, which can accumulate and lead to rough, dry, and callused feet. The exfoliating acids in the peel solution help to dissolve these dead skin cells, promoting the shedding of old skin layers.

·         Smoother Skin - By removing the rough outer layers of skin, foot peels reveal the softer, smoother skin underneath. This can significantly improve the texture and appearance of your feet.

·         Hydration - Many foot peel products contain moisturising ingredients that help to hydrate the new skin revealed after the peeling process. This helps to keep the skin on your feet soft and supple.

·         Improved Appearance - Regular use of a foot mask peel can enhance the overall look of your feet, making them appear healthier and more well-cared-for. 

·         Callus Removal – A foot peeling mask is effective at reducing and removing calluses, which are thickened areas of skin that can be painful and unsightly. This can lead to more comfortable walking and standing.

·         Enhanced Skin Renewal - The exfoliation process promotes cell turnover and renewal, encouraging healthier skin growth. This can help in maintaining the overall health of the skin on your feet.

·         Convenient and Easy to Use - Foot peel masks are generally easy to use at home, providing a convenient way to achieve spa-like results without the need for professional treatment.

·         Long-Lasting Effects - The benefits of a foot peel mask can last for several weeks, making it an effective long-term solution for maintaining smooth and healthy feet.

·         Prevents Common Foot Issues - Regular use of a foot mask peel can help prevent common foot issues such as dryness, cracking, and peeling, maintaining overall foot health.

Our Foot Peel is designed to gently remove the dead skin cells with the help of fruit acids, allowing dead skin to peel away and reveal softer and smoother skin. The foot peeling mask is pain free, safe, and convenient, with results seen in as little as 3-4 days with the full treatment visible within 7-9 days.

The foot peel mask contains scientifically formulated natural extracts that exfoliate and nourish the skin simultaneously while penetrating the layers of dead skin and working on the Desmosomes (which act as glue to hold your dead skin together). This gentle and effective process unbinds the Desmosomes so that the peeling process can begin, and layers of dead skin start to peel away. In other words, goodbye to rough, dry, and cracked soles!

Our foot peel mask contains scientifically formulated ingredients and natural extracts that exfoliate and nourish the skin simultaneously while soothing it post exfoliation. Some of the key ingredients in our foot peel includes:

AHA/BHA Complex – Our foot peeling mask contains a blend of five natural acids, Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic, Citric and Malic Acid, to progressively digest and breakdown built-up keratinised skin without compromising on healthy tissue.

Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe & Cucumber Extract – These naturally derived soothing and hydrating ingredients are formulated in our foot mask peel to ensure skin is left hydrated and soothed post exfoliation to reveal smoother and softer feet.

Soak feet in water for 10 minutes. Dry and put them into the exfoliating foot mask peel socks. Gently massage feet to get consistent coverage. Put regular socks over the top of Exfoliating Foot Socks, leave on for 90 minutes and then rinse in water. Peeling will start by day 3-4 with the full treatment visible by day 7-9. For best results soak your feet in warm water every day for 15 minutes. Once peeling has finished massage your feet daily with GINGER&ME Body Butter or Bath & Body Oil.

Soak your feet in warm water for about 10 minutes before applying the foot mask peel. This helps to soften the skin and allows for better absorption of the peel solution. If you have any nail polish on your toenails, you may remove it to prevent it from being damaged by the peel solution. Ensure your feet are clean and completely dry before applying the foot peeling mask.

After a foot peel, it's essential to take proper care of your feet to ensure optimal results. Here are some things to avoid doing after using a foot mask peel:

·         Picking or Peeling the Skin - Resist the urge to pick at or forcefully remove the peeling skin after using a foot peeling mask. Let the dead skin naturally shed off to avoid causing irritation or injury to the new skin underneath.

·         Excessive Moisture - Avoid prolonged exposure to water, such as soaking your feet in a bath or swimming pool, immediately after a foot mask peel. Excessive moisture can interfere with the peeling process and may cause irritation.

·         Harsh Exfoliation – After using a foot mask peel, refrain from using harsh exfoliating tools or scrubs on your feet, especially during the peeling process. These can further irritate the skin and disrupt the natural shedding process.

·         Wearing Tight or Restrictive Footwear - Opt for loose-fitting, comfortable shoes and socks after using a foot peel mask to avoid putting pressure on your feet and exacerbating any discomfort during the peeling process.

·         Skipping Moisturisation - Continue to moisturise your feet regularly, even after the peeling process is complete. Moisturising helps to keep the new skin soft and hydrated and can prevent dryness and roughness from returning.

·         Excessive Sun Exposure – After using a foot mask peel, avoid prolonged sun exposure to your feet, especially if they are still peeling. The new skin may be more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

·         Using Harsh Chemicals - Avoid using harsh chemicals or treatments on your feet immediately after a foot peeling mask, as they can cause irritation or interfere with the healing process.

·         Over-Exfoliating - Do not overdo exfoliation treatments, such as using additional foot peels or exfoliating scrubs, too soon after the initial foot peel mask. Allow your skin time to recover and regenerate fully before considering another treatment.

·         Neglecting Hygiene - Maintain good foot hygiene by keeping your feet clean and dry. Wash your feet daily with mild soap and water and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes, to prevent bacterial or fungal infections.

·         Ignoring Discomfort or Complications - Pay attention to any signs of irritation, redness, or discomfort after a foot mask peel. If you experience severe or prolonged discomfort, or if you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage, seek medical attention promptly.

By avoiding these common pitfalls and following proper aftercare guidelines, you can ensure a smooth and successful foot peel experience, leading to soft, smooth, and healthy feet.

The GINGER&ME Foot Peel Mask is best for feet presenting with dry, thickened skin or needing a renewal, smoothing treatment.

Our foot peeling mask is not suitable for people with Glucose-6- Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD), Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women, Reye’s Syndrome, Diabetes, or people intolerant to Salicylate.

The frequency of using a foot peel depends on your skin type, the condition of your feet, and the specific product you are using. Generally, it is recommended to use a foot peeling mask every 4 to 8 weeks. Here are some guidelines to help you determine the appropriate frequency for using foot peels:

·         Every 4-6 Weeks - If you have very dry, rough, or callused feet, you may benefit from using a foot mask peel every 4 to 6 weeks. This allows sufficient time for your skin to regenerate and for the peeling process to complete.

·         Every 6-8 Weeks - For those with less severe dryness or calluses, or for maintenance purposes, using a foot peel every 6 to 8 weeks is usually adequate.
