This Is The Grossest Thing, And You Absolutely Have To Have It

Okay, prepare to get skeeved out.

Then prepare to immediately purchase.

Because “Baby Foot” is like getting eight pedicures at one time. I swear.

The name is derived from what your foot will look like once this thing gets done working its magic.

Now, to be clear, you will not see immediate results. You soak your feet per the directions, place your clean, freshly soaked feet into the plastic sleeves for an hour, then you wait five to seven days for the sloughing off of all the dead, dry, calloused skin. And be prepared, there may be a whole hell of a lot of it.

Even if you are someone who indulges in a biweekly pedicure, you will still see some shedding.

It’s a process, but when it is all said and done, you should have feet that closely resemble an infant’s never-touched-the-ground tootsies.

Some folks recommend you soak your feet for 10 to 15 minutes in the days leading up to the peeling to maximize results.

I know the idea of peeling sheets of skin from the bottom of your feet does not sound appetizing to most of us, but sandal season is upon us. You know, just a friendly reminder.

Plus, if you are one of the people who is enthralled by grossness, like pimple popping videos, this has to be right up your alley.
