I can’t remember the last time I was in a nail salon. You probably don’t either. Or maybe you do because the time away has been particularly difficult, despite saving major coin over the past few months. But now that Shot Girl Summer is basically here and the number of reopened salons is on a very slow uptick — oh, and the fact that we’ll be able to actually our houses this year — your feet are probably still in winter mode and in need of the best foot peel products to get them back into shape.
I’m talking calluses, flaking, and skin that sounds like straight-up sandpaper because they’ve been hiding under thick socks for the past year (and perhaps have been neglected in the midst of your low-key, stay-at-home beauty routine.)
For many (including my mom), foot masks, foot peels or whatever else you want to call them are the must-have lifesaver for open-toe shoe season. Whether it’s a stylish slip-on bootie or basic wrap, all of them contain an insulated formula of exfoliants (alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, botanical extracts, etc.) that go beneath the skin surface to encourage dead cells to naturally fall off. Is it kind of gross to watch your skin shed off like a snake? Well, yes, but it’s oddly satisfying too. IYKYK. Scroll through below to check our favorite foot peeling masks to get those tootsies of your ready for sandal season.
