This single-use foot mask is a chemical peel designed to gently remove calluses and stubborn dead skin from your feet. In Mauritius, where open-toed shoes and sandals are a part of daily life, feet can quickly become rough and callused. This jelly mask uses a blend of fruit-derived acids to accelerate the natural shedding process, causing old, hard skin to peel away over 7-14 days, revealing incredibly soft, smooth skin underneath without harsh scrubbing.

Feeling self-conscious about rough heels or callused soles? This treatment is for anyone looking to reset their foot texture and achieve 'baby-soft' feet at home.

• Product Type: Single-use foot peeling mask (chemical exfoliant).
• Key Function: Removes layers of dead skin and calluses over 1-2 weeks.
• Who It's For: Individuals with rough, dry, or callused feet.
• What to Expect: A simple 90-minute soak, followed by 4-7 days of waiting. Then, significant skin peeling for about a week. The final result is smooth, renewed skin. The peeling process can look dramatic, so plan accordingly!

1. Prep: Wash and thoroughly dry your feet.
2. Apply: Pour the jelly essence from the pouch into the provided foot sheet "booties" and wear them.
3. Wait: Leave the booties on for 60-90 minutes. Relax and avoid walking around too much.
4. Rinse: Remove and discard booties, then rinse your feet well with water.
5. Patience: Do nothing else. In 4-7 days, your feet will begin to peel naturally. Moisturize only after the peeling process is completely finished.

Note: This is an intensive treatment, not a daily product. Use it as a substitute for harsh foot files, not in addition to them.

This is a single-use treatment designed to be used once every 1-2 months at most, depending on your needs.

Step-by-Step Guide:

• Amount: Use the entire contents of the pouch, divided equally between the two foot sheets.
• Method:
  1. Cut open the pouch containing the peeling jelly.
  2. Place your clean, dry feet into the plastic booties.
  3. Carefully pour the liquid into each bootie.
  4. Use the attached sticker or tape to secure the booties around your ankles to prevent leakage.
  5. Relax for 60-90 minutes. You can wear regular socks over the booties to keep them snug.
  6. After the time is up, remove the booties and rinse your feet thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use only ONCE. Wait at least 1-2 months before considering another treatment.

The Peeling Process (What to do for the next 2 weeks):

• Wait: Peeling will not start immediately. It typically begins around day 4 to day 7.
• Do NOT Peel Manually: It is crucial that you do not pull, pick, or scrub the shedding skin. This can damage the new, sensitive skin underneath and lead to irritation. Let it shed naturally.
• Soak: To assist the peeling process, you can soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes each day. This will help soften and loosen the dead skin.
• Moisturize After: Only begin moisturizing your feet *after* all the peeling has completely stopped (usually around day 10-14). This helps maintain the new, soft skin.

Safety First:

• Do not use on feet with open wounds, cuts, eczema, or any inflammation.
• A mild tingling sensation may occur, which is normal. If you experience strong burning or pain, remove the booties immediately and rinse your feet.
• After the peeling is complete, the new skin is sensitive. Avoid direct sun exposure on your feet for at least a week and apply sunscreen if they will be exposed.
• Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, diabetic, or have poor blood circulation.

• Immediately (Day 0-3): After rinsing, your feet will feel clean and normal. There are no visible signs of peeling. They might feel slightly dry or tight.
• First Week (Day 4-7): The magic begins. Large and small pieces of skin, especially on the soles, heels, and between the toes, will start to lift and peel away. The appearance can be quite dramatic and unsightly. Wear socks to contain the shedding skin.
• Second Week (Day 8-14): Peeling typically peaks and then subsides. The process concludes, revealing a new layer of smooth, soft, and visibly renewed skin.
• 2 Weeks & Beyond: Your feet will feel incredibly soft and smooth. To maintain these results, moisturize your feet daily. Calluses will be significantly reduced or gone completely.

Swap harsh physical removal for a gentle chemical peel.

• Instead Of: Using aggressive metal foot files, graters, or razor-like callus shavers that can cause cuts, lead to infection, and often trigger the skin to build calluses back even thicker as a defense mechanism.
• Use This: A chemical foot peel like this mask. It uses AHAs and BHA to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together, allowing them to shed evenly and painlessly without risk of injury or creating rough edges. The result is smoother and longer-lasting.

• Works Well With:
  • Moisturizers (After Peeling): Once the peeling process is fully complete, daily application of a nourishing foot cream or body lotion will help maintain softness and hydration.
  • Warm Water Soaks: During the peeling phase (Day 4-10), daily soaks in warm water can help accelerate the natural shedding process.
• Use With Caution:
  • Other Exfoliants: Avoid using any other scrubs, peels, or exfoliating acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid lotions) on your feet for at least two weeks before and two weeks after using this mask to prevent over-exfoliation and severe irritation.
• Do Not Use With:
  • Irritated or Broken Skin: Never apply this product to feet with cuts, blisters, sores, rashes, or sunburn.

• Excellent For: Feet with calluses, rough texture, and significant dead skin buildup. Suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin types (on the feet).
• May Be Used By: Those with dry skin on their feet, but it is essential to follow up with intensive moisturizing once the peel is complete.
• Caution Advised For: Individuals with extremely sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, diabetes, or poor circulation should consult a healthcare professional before using any foot peel product. A patch test on the top of the foot is recommended if you are prone to skin reactions.

• MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a Functional Cosmetic by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
• Claims Basis: The product's peeling effect is based on the well-established chemical exfoliation properties of its key ingredients (Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid). (Evidence Tier: Ingredient Rationale).

Key Actives Explained:

• Lactic Acid & Glycolic Acid (AHAs): These are alpha-hydroxy acids that work on the surface of the skin to dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, promoting exfoliation and revealing smoother skin.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): A beta-hydroxy acid that is oil-soluble, allowing it to exfoliate both the skin's surface and inside the pores. It helps soften and break down thick, hardened skin.
• Urea: A powerful ingredient that is both a humectant (draws in moisture) and a keratolytic (helps break down thick skin). It works to soften calluses and deeply moisturize.

Full INCI List:

Water, Alcohol Denat., Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Lactate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicylic Acid, Urea, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Thuja Orientalis Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance.

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance ('Parfum'/'Fragrance'). The scent is generally described as a fresh, slightly medicinal, or herbal scent. Intensity is moderate during application but does not linger after rinsing.
• Alcohol: Contains a high concentration of Alcohol Denat., which helps with ingredient penetration but can be drying. This is expected in a peel-off product and is washed off.
• EU Allergens: The specific components of the fragrance are not declared by the brand, so the presence of EU allergens (like Linalool, Limonene, etc.) cannot be confirmed or ruled out.
• Botanical Extracts: Contains numerous botanical and fruit extracts (Lemon, Lime, Orange, Tea Tree, Lavender, etc.). While natural, these can be potential sensitizers for individuals with specific plant allergies. A patch test is recommended for highly reactive skin.

• High Suitability: This product is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate. The prevalence of wearing sandals, flip-flops, and going barefoot leads to faster callus buildup, making a powerful peel like this highly effective.
• Strategic Timing: The peeling process (around days 4-10) is not visually appealing. It's best to use this treatment during a week when you don't have beach plans, weddings, or other events where you'd want your feet to look their best. Plan to wear socks and closed shoes during the main peeling phase to manage the shedding skin.
• Post-Peel Sun Care: After peeling, the new skin is very sensitive to the sun. In Mauritius' high UV environment, it is crucial to apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) to the tops of your feet if you wear open shoes for at least one week after peeling stops to prevent sunburn and hyperpigmentation.

Use this peel on its own. Once the peeling process is completely finished (after 10-14 days), maintain your new soft feet with these essentials:

Post-Peel Maintenance Routine:

• DERMA: B UREA 9.8 FOOT CREAM 80ML — The perfect follow-up. Use this daily to deeply moisturize and gently manage callus regrowth with 9.8% Urea.
• APLB GLUTATHIONE NIACINAMIDE BODY LOTION 300ML — A great all-over body lotion that can be used on feet to keep the new skin hydrated, bright, and even-toned.
• THE FACE SHOP JEJU ALOE FRESH SOOTHING GEL 300ML — Use this as a lightweight, cooling moisturizer for your feet in the hot Mauritian weather, especially after a long day.

This foot peel is an excellent choice if you want a dramatic, periodic reset for very rough, callused feet.

However, if your needs are different, consider these alternatives from our catalog:

• For Gradual Softening (No Peel): DERMA: B UREA 9.8 FOOT CREAM 80ML — Choose this if you prefer to soften calluses and maintain smooth feet through daily care, without the intense peeling phase. It's a gentler, more consistent approach.
• For Light Hydration & Soothing: THE FACE SHOP SMILE FOOT MASK — Choose this moisturizing sock-style mask if your feet are just dry and tired, not heavily callused. It provides a quick hydration boost without any peeling.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have a foot cream or body exfoliant you enjoy, finish it first. This peel is an intensive treatment; you may find that consistent daily moisturizing is all you need to keep your feet in good condition.

• Packaging: The product comes as a single-use kit containing one foil pouch of jelly essence and one pair of sealed plastic foot sheets (booties).
• Sustainability: The packaging is disposable and consists of mixed materials (plastic, foil), making it difficult to recycle in local Mauritian facilities. Please dispose of the used components in the trash.
• Travel: The flat, sealed pouch is very travel-friendly. You can easily pack it for a trip, but remember to time its use so the peeling phase doesn't interfere with your vacation plans.

Aggregated sentiment from independent online reviews.

• The Good: Many reviewers consider this an affordable and highly effective alternative to more expensive brands like Baby Foot. "My feet started peeling in sheets around day 5," one Reddit user noted, "and the skin underneath is ridiculously soft." Users frequently express satisfaction with how well it removes thick calluses on the heels.
• The Process: The peeling phase is consistently described as "gross but satisfying." A common piece of advice is to "soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes every night" to speed up the process and make it less messy.
• The Caveat: A frequent point of feedback is the need for patience. As an Amazon customer review (2024-05) stated, "Don't expect anything for the first few days. The real action starts almost a week later." Some users also mentioned the booties can be a bit small for larger foot sizes.

Launched in 2003, THE FACE SHOP is one of South Korea's most recognizable "roadshop" beauty brands. Now part of the LG Household & Health Care group, its philosophy is rooted in the concept of "Natural Story." The brand aims to harness the power of natural ingredients sourced from around the world, combining traditional herbal wisdom with modern science to create affordable and effective skincare and makeup for a wide audience.

• AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acid): A type of chemical exfoliant (like Glycolic and Lactic Acid) that works on the skin's surface to dissolve dead cells.
• BHA (Beta-Hydroxy Acid): A chemical exfoliant (like Salicylic Acid) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to work on the skin's surface and inside pores.
• Callus: A thickened and hardened part of the skin, especially in an area that has been subjected to friction.
• Keratolytic: An agent that breaks down or softens the outer layer of the skin (keratin), helping to shed dead skin cells. Urea is an example.

Is the peeling process painful?

No, it should not be painful. The dead skin sheds naturally. You should not feel any pain or rawness. If you experience pain or burning during the 90-minute application, rinse the product off immediately.

Can I pull off the peeling skin myself?

No. It is very important to let the skin shed on its own. Forcibly pulling it off can tear the new, delicate skin underneath and cause irritation or injury.

What should I do if my feet don't peel?

Peeling can take up to 7-10 days to start for some people. Soaking your feet in warm water daily can help initiate the process. If after 14 days there is absolutely no peeling, it may be that your skin is very resistant. You can safely try the treatment again after 4-6 weeks.

How often can I use this foot mask?

This is an intensive treatment. Do not use it more than once every 1-2 months to avoid over-exfoliating your feet.

Best For: Those who need a powerful, once-in-a-while treatment to remove significant callus and dead skin build-up for a total foot refresh.
