THE FACE SHOP SMILE FOOT MASK

Dealing with rough, callused feet is common in a tropical climate, but you deserve skin that feels comfortable and soft. This foot peeling mask is a simple at-home treatment designed to gently shed layers of dead skin, revealing incredibly smooth, sandal-ready feet without harsh scrubbing or filing.

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Vegan-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

If you're tired of rough heels, calluses, and dry patches on your feet, this is your simple, effective solution. It's a peeling treatment that uses gentle acids to make old, dead skin shed away over about a week, leaving behind fresh, baby-soft skin.

• Product Type: Foot Peeling Mask
• Key Benefit: Exfoliates and removes calluses for smooth, soft feet.
• Who it's for: Anyone with rough, dry, or callused feet seeking a deep exfoliation.
• What to expect: Feet will feel normal for a few days, then begin to peel significantly for about a week. Do not use right before an event where you'll be barefoot!

1. Prep & Wear: On clean, dry feet, put on the plastic booties and pour the liquid solution into each one.
2. Wait & Rinse: Secure the booties and relax for 60-90 minutes. Do not exceed 90 minutes. Afterwards, remove and rinse feet thoroughly with water.
3. Peel & Moisturise: Wait 4-7 days for peeling to start. Let it shed naturally. Once peeling is complete (around day 10-14), keep your new soft skin hydrated with a good foot cream.

Note: Already own a foot scrub? This mask provides a much deeper peel. Use this for a major reset, and a scrub for maintenance weeks later.

This is a once-a-month treatment, best done in the evening when you can relax.

• Step 1) Cleanse: Wash and completely dry your feet. Soaking them in warm water for 10-15 minutes beforehand can enhance results.
• Step 2) [THIS PRODUCT]: Wear the booties with the solution for 60-90 minutes.
• Step 3) Rinse: Remove booties and rinse feet thoroughly with water. Pat dry.
• For the next 7-10 days: Do not apply any moisturisers or lotions, as this can inhibit the peeling process. If feet feel very dry, a light, oil-free hydrator is acceptable. Soaking feet in warm water daily can help the peeling process along.

• Amount: One packet of peeling liquid per foot. The kit is single-use.
• Frequency: Use only once every 4-6 weeks at most. Overuse can cause sensitivity.
• Method:
  1. Put on the plastic sock-like booties provided.
  2. Pour the entire contents of one liquid pouch into one bootie. Repeat for the other foot.
  3. Secure the booties. You can wear regular socks over them to keep them snug and allow you to walk around carefully.
  4. Leave on for 60 to 90 minutes. Set a timer. Do not exceed 90 minutes.
  5. After the time is up, remove the booties and rinse your feet thoroughly with lukewarm water.

If-This / Then-That:

• If peeling hasn't started by day 7: Be patient. Soaking your feet in warm water for 15-20 minutes each evening can help initiate the process.
• If you have a special event: Use this mask at least 2 weeks *before* the event to ensure the peeling process is complete.
• If your feet are very callused: The first peel will make a big difference, but you may need a second treatment a month later for best results.

Watchouts:

• DO NOT Forcibly Peel: Let the skin shed naturally. Pulling it off can damage the new skin underneath and cause soreness.
• Photosensitivity: The new skin will be sensitive. Apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) to your feet if you wear open-toed shoes outdoors in the two weeks following the peel.

Safety: Do not use on broken, irritated, or wounded skin, or on feet with eczema or active infections. If you are diabetic or have poor circulation, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use immediately if you experience a strong burning sensation or rash.

This is a periodic treatment, not a weekly one. Here’s a typical timeline:

• Day 1 (e.g., Sunday PM): Use THE FACE SHOP Smile Foot Mask for 60-90 minutes.
• Day 2 - Day 4: Nothing happens. Just wash your feet as normal. Soaking feet in warm water for 10-20 minutes daily can help.
• Day 5 - Day 10: Peeling begins and continues. Skin will shed. Avoid moisturisers and other exfoliants. Wear socks to contain the flakes.
• Day 11 - Day 14: Peeling should be complete. You can now start using a gentle foot cream to keep the new skin soft.
• Next 3-4 Weeks: Enjoy your soft feet! Do not use another peel during this time.

Rules: During the week of active peeling, do not use any other exfoliants on your feet (no scrubs, acids, or foot files).

• Immediately after use: Your feet will feel clean, but there are no visible changes.
• 4 – 7 days: The magic begins. The top layers of dead skin will start to lift and peel, often starting from the soles and heels. It is not pretty, but it is effective!
• 7 – 14 days: Peeling will continue, sometimes in large sheets. By the end of this period, the process should be complete, revealing remarkably smooth, soft, and callus-free skin underneath.

• Why this, not that? A chemical foot peel is a safer and more effective alternative to using foot razors or harsh metal files. Razors can easily cause cuts and infections, while aggressive filing can lead to skin irritation and may even cause calluses to grow back thicker as a protective response. This mask dissolves the bonds holding dead skin, allowing it to shed gently and evenly without risk of injury.

• Works with: After the peeling process is completely finished, this treatment works wonderfully with rich, hydrating foot creams (containing ingredients like Urea or Shea Butter) to maintain softness.
• Use carefully: During the 7-10 day peeling period, avoid using any other exfoliants (scrubs, acids) or rich lotions on your feet, as this can interfere with the process.
• Avoid on: Do not use this mask on skin that has cuts, blisters, eczema, or any open wounds. Also avoid using on the top of your feet if they are sunburnt.

• Ideal For: Normal, Combination, and Oily skin types on the feet with significant callus buildup.
• Use with Caution: If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area of your foot (like the arch) for 60 minutes to check for adverse reactions. If you are diabetic, pregnant, or have poor circulation, consult a doctor before using any foot peel product.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data. / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

• MFDS Class: Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic for brightening or wrinkle improvement.
• Claims Basis: The exfoliating and peeling effects are based on the known keratolytic properties of its active ingredients, primarily Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid, which dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Medical Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product for exfoliation. It is not intended to treat, cure, or prevent any medical foot conditions like warts, fungal infections, or issues related to diabetes.

Key Actives Explained:

• Lactic Acid & Glycolic Acid (AHAs): The primary exfoliants. These alpha-hydroxy acids work by dissolving the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to shed easily and painlessly over several days.
• Alcohol Denat.: Acts as a solvent and penetration enhancer, helping the acids absorb effectively into the thick skin of the feet.
• Urea: A keratolytic and humectant. It helps break down hard, callused skin while also drawing moisture into the newly revealed skin.
• Pine Leaf & Ginseng Root Water: Botanical extracts included to refresh and soothe the skin during the treatment process.

Full INCI List: Purified Water, Alcohol Denat., Latic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Lactate, Glycolic Acid, Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer, Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Panax Ginseng Root Water, Butylene Glycol, Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Urea, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicylic Acid, Betaine, Potassium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ('Fragrance/Parfum'). The scent is generally described as a clean, slightly medicinal, or herbal scent.
• EU Allergens: The full INCI provided does not explicitly list common EU allergens, but the general 'Fragrance' term may contain them. Patch testing is advised for fragrance-sensitive individuals.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or any active skin condition on their feet.
• Pregnant or nursing individuals should consult a doctor before use.
• Those with diabetes or poor blood circulation must consult a physician before using this product.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Cut open one of the liquid pouches and apply a small amount of the solution to a sensitive, less callused part of your foot, such as the arch.
2. Leave it on for 60 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience excessive redness, a painful rash, swelling, or intense itching, do not proceed with the full treatment.

If Irritation Occurs: During the main treatment, if you experience painful burning or intense itching, remove the booties immediately and wash your feet thoroughly with soap and cool water. Apply a soothing, plain moisturiser. Do not re-attempt the peel.

• Texture: The solution is a clear, watery liquid. The booties are thin plastic socks.
• Scent: A fresh, slightly chemical/herbal scent due to the acids and botanical extracts.
• Feel: Your feet will feel wet and cool inside the booties. After rinsing, they feel clean. During the peeling phase, your feet will feel dry and tight before the skin begins to lift.
• pH: Acidic (not published, but expected to be low, around 3.5-4.0, for the AHAs to be effective).

• Issue: My feet aren't peeling after a week.
  Quick Fix: Be patient, as it can take up to 10 days. Soaking your feet in warm water for 20 minutes each night can significantly speed up and encourage the peeling process.
• Issue: The peeling is messy and flaky.
  Quick Fix: Wear socks as much as possible during the peeling phase to contain the flakes and protect the new skin. Gently rubbing your feet in the shower can help remove skin that is already loose, but do not pull or pick at it.
• Issue: My new skin feels sensitive.
  Quick Fix: This is normal. After peeling is complete, keep the new skin well-moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. Most importantly, protect it from the sun with SPF 30+ if wearing open shoes to prevent sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

• Sandal Season Prep: This mask is perfect for the year-round warm climate in Mauritius, helping you maintain smooth, beautiful feet for sandals, beaches, and poolside events.
• Sun Protection is Crucial: The newly revealed skin after a peel is highly vulnerable to the strong Mauritian sun. You MUST apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher to the tops of your feet for at least two weeks after peeling if you are wearing open shoes. This prevents sunburn and the development of dark spots (hyperpigmentation).
• Timing is Everything: Plan your peel for a week when you don't have major social events. The peeling process is not glamorous, so it's best done when you can comfortably wear socks at home.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our products, including this foot mask from THE FACE SHOP, are sourced directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. Your product should have a mix of Korean and English on the packaging, along with a batch code and expiration date. If you have any doubts about your product's authenticity, please contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with a photo, and we will be happy to verify it for you.

• Ingredient Rationale: The effectiveness of this foot mask is based on the well-documented chemical properties of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. These acids are known to work by dissolving the desmosomes (protein bonds) that hold dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This chemical loosening allows for the shedding of thick, callused skin layers over several days without the need for mechanical scrubbing.

• Uses per pack: 1 treatment.
• Cost-per-use: This is a single-use, high-impact treatment, offering results comparable to a professional pedicure peel at a fraction of the cost.
• Reorder Cadence: Depending on how quickly your calluses build up, you may wish to reorder this product every 1 to 3 months for maintenance.

After your feet have completely peeled, maintain your baby-soft results with these essentials.

Post-Peel Foot Care Routine

• [THIS PRODUCT] — Use once for a deep peel to reset your skin.
• DERMA: B UREA 9.8 FOOT CREAM 80ML — An excellent daily cream after peeling is complete. Urea helps to gently manage dead skin buildup and provides intense moisture.
• Beauty of Joseon RELIEF SUN : RICE + PROBIOTICS 50ML — Absolutely essential. Apply to the tops of your feet when wearing open shoes to protect the sensitive new skin from the Mauritian sun.

Budget-Friendly Maintenance

• [THIS PRODUCT] — Your starting point for deep exfoliation.

This foot mask is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are thick calluses and severely rough, dead skin that needs a powerful reset.

• For a slightly different format: THE FACE SHOP SMILE FOOT PEELING JELLY MASK — This is a very similar product from the same brand but in a jelly format, offering a comparable deep-peel experience.
• For gentle, regular maintenance: ETUDE BAKING POWDER CRUNCH PORE SCRUB 200G — Choose this if you prefer manual exfoliation and don't want the dramatic peeling process. Use it 1-2 times a week in the shower to keep feet smooth and prevent heavy callus buildup.
• For a DIY approach to chemical exfoliation: The Ordinary GLYCOLIC ACID 7% EXFOLIATING TONER 240ML — For a milder, more frequent chemical exfoliation, you can soak cotton pads in this toner and apply to your heels for 10-15 minutes a few times a week to manage calluses without the intense shedding.

Mindful-use: If you already have a foot peel or a strong exfoliant at home, finish it first to avoid waste and see if it gives you the results you need.

• Format: A foil sachet containing two plastic booties and two separate pouches of liquid peeling solution (20ml each).
• Hygiene: Single-use design ensures a fresh, hygienic treatment every time.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The outer paper box can be recycled. The foil and plastic components should be disposed of in the general trash.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Here is some aggregated sentiment from real users online (Note: experiences with peeling masks can vary greatly).

"On 5th day there was nothing no sign of even a bit of skin peel. But to my surprise i started seeing skin peels since day 6th and it went on. So yes it is a long process, have patience... it will take a full one month to fully peel off ur dry feet revealing a fresh new baby feet."
- Nykaa customer review (2024)

"Foot masks are such disgusting fun... I had the best/most peeling right after soaking a bit in the tub."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2017)

A fair caveat: "Had kept it for 70 mins, even after 7 days absolutely no difference or peeling. My skin has become super dry and itchy now. Such a waste of money."
- Nykaa customer review (2024)

Sentiment Summary: Most users report that the product works as promised, though patience is required as peeling can take up to a week to start. Soaking feet daily is a widely recommended tip to enhance the peeling process. A minority of users experience little to no peeling or some dryness. Individual results depend heavily on skin thickness and aftercare.

Is the peeling painful?

No, the peeling process should be entirely painless. The dead skin simply sheds off. If you experience pain or a burning sensation, you should remove the mask immediately.

Can I use this if I'm pregnant?

It is generally recommended to consult with your doctor before using strong active ingredients like AHAs during pregnancy.

How often should I use this foot mask?

To maintain soft feet, use the mask once every 1-3 months. Do not use it more frequently than once a month to avoid over-exfoliating and causing sensitivity.

Will it remove very thick, old calluses?

It will significantly soften and remove a large portion of them. For extremely thick calluses, a second treatment after 4-6 weeks might be necessary to achieve the best results.
