Foot Peeling: Review of Magic-Foot (foot mask)

We focus on our face so much that we neglect one of the most important parts of our body that keeps us going--- our feet.

What is it:

Magic-Foot is an exfoliating foot peeling mask. It claims to give you smoother, softer and supple feet. It also claims to give to amazing results in just days and it is easy, safe and convenient to use.

I bought this from a very popular store in Hong Kong called Bonjour for HKD 59.9. Normally one pack has only one pair of mask but these days they have an extra pair for free inside.

It is recommended on the box that you use this mask every 2 months to maintain soft feet.

What is inside the box:

2 pairs of masks

tape

Once you open the box, you will see a silver packaging. Clear foot-shaped masks can be found, containing liquid inside.

How to use:

1) Take out the masks, cut following the directions

2) Wear the masks on clean feet

3) Use the tape provided to seal the masks so they won't come off easily

4) Let your feet soak in the liquid for 45-60 minutes

5) Remove the masks and wash your feet

Comments/feelings

• I love the fact that you can have your feet cleaned in such an easy way. Who wouldn’t want new and clean skin on their feet?

• The mask is also easy to put on.

• Basically, you don’t have to do much work. All you need to do it put on the mask and let is work automatically in the days ahead.

However, there are certain things that you need to be aware of:

• As you need to put on the mask for 45-60 minutes, you are bound to just stay in one place. You must keep your feet on the ground or on your bed/sofa; you cannot really lie down as the liquid will leak and make a mess. You can lie down but your feet must be on the ground/bed/sofa. This can be pretty inconvenient and tiring.

• The peeling process, when started, really makes your feet look ugly and disgusting. It is embarrassing to take such feet to work or even be around others. Unfortunately, I used the mask right before going on a school trip. Luckily, I am in Australia and can use socks to hide my feet as it’s winter here.

• The whole process is quite long. 45 minutes for the mask. One week for the peeling process to start. Another week or 2 for your skin to be fully peeled off.

after two weeks

Suggestions:

• Based on the inconveniences mentioned above, it is highly recommended that you use this mask when you have a lot of free time first of all.

• Use this mask in winter so you can use your socks to hide your feet when going out or to work.

• Use this mask when you have a long holiday.

• When taking a shower, the skin that’s coming off becomes softer, you can then peel off as much as you can to make your feet look tidier.

• It is suggested on the box that you can wear socks when you have the mask on. This may let you move freely, but there is a chance that your socks may become dirty because of the liquid.

Final verdict:

I will use this mask maybe twice a year when having a long holiday. It is good to take care of your feet of course.

10/10 for doing its job
