What is a foot peeling at all?

A foot peeling is a wonderful method to give your feet suppleness. Because excess skin is scrubbed off and at the same time cared for.

Such a peeling usually consists of 2 main components. It is a firm component for scrubbing off excess skin. And a fluid part to care for the feet and to be able to apply the peeling at all.

You can think of it as a cream or lotion with solid pieces.

How does a foot exfoliation work?

Its function is very easy. The solid part of the peeling gently scrubs down the top layer of the skin. Thereby you support your feet in removing excess skin cells. This helps especially against thick calluses.

Above I told you something about a liquid part. This makes it possible to apply the mass. Else, for example, if you took sugar, it would just trickle away between your fingers.

But the fluid also has a further function. That is to support the peeling itself. When it is an acid, such as citric acid. Alternatively, the liquid helps to care for the skin. This would be true for olive oil.

How frequently do you peel your feet?

You might wonder how frequently you can peel your feet. Perhaps you could do one each day? But I would strongly advise against that.

Surely you don’t want to scrub your entire skin off your feet. Because it walks quite uncomfortable without skin. So give your skin a rest of between two and three days. So that it can also regenerate.

Nevertheless, for good results I suggest you peel your feet at least every two weeks. Than you are also prepared for the shoeless season.

When is a foot peeling useful?

You can tell that very easily. Just look at your feet. Maybe you see too much callus? Or perhaps too many dandruffs? Maybe even some fissures?

When you answered yes, it is especially worth it for you. With the peeling you get rid of these problems.

When should you forgo peeling your feet?

There are of course also situations in which it is not appropriate to remove the upper horn layer.

Therefore you also have to look at your feet. What do you see? Do you have any injuries on your feet? Cuts? Perhaps some mycosis? I wouldn’t recommend doing a exfoliation. Because your skin is already damaged and you could worsen the symptoms.

Also if you have diabetes I advise against it. Because the healing of the skin is disturbed. And I don’t want you to get hurt.

Ask in any case your doctor.

The power of the enzymes helps with this foot peeling. There are fruit varieties which contain protein-splitting enzymes. They help to remove excess cornea. It may happen that your skin starts to loosen after a few days. Don’t worry, your feet won’t fall off.

This is a desired effect. This is because the enzymes dissolve excess cornea with a longer lasting effect.

3. stir well and add water as needed.
4. it is ready when it has become a thick paste.
5. apply to the feet and massage gently.
6. Let it work for 10 to 30 minutes.
7. rinse and enjoy the tender feet.

Create your own peeling for your feet!

You like my recipes, but you want to create your own. Cause you just like to experiment and have fun trying out. Then learn what you need for your foot experience.

At the beginning you need a rough component. This is to remove the excess skin. The finer the component, the softer the peeling.

Mix the rough component with a liquid one. The choice is up to you. As well as the quantity. In the end, however, the consistency should be a paste. Similar to toothpaste. So you can massage your feet without too much going beside it.

Finally you can mix optional components. For the peeling result this has usually no relevance. But it can beautify the experience. Optional are e.g. essential oils. You will need only small amounts of these.

Simply start with 2 tablespoons of the solid part. Mix in as much of the liquid part until you have reached the desired consistency.
