Road-Tested: Milky Foot Active Pads

WARNING: This video is not for feet-haters. But if you’ve been suffering from rough, dry heels or rock-hard calluses, you’re definitely going to want to watch until the end.

Milky Foot is an at-home intense peeling treatment for feet. bh’s Laura kindly volunteered to try it, so you could see exactly how it works. As summer is just around the corner, it’s the ideal time to start prepping your feet (hello, sandal weather!) and Milky Foot is certainly one hard-working option.

But a picture (or in this case, a video) says a thousand words, so go on - watch it. Or, if you’re not that keen on surprises, you can scroll down at your own pace to see what happens below…

How to use Milky Foot Active Pads

#1 First, make sure your feet are clean and dry, as well as free of nail polish, moisturiser and fake tan.

#2 Cut along the dotted line of the foot pad and then place one on each foot.

CUTTING MILKY FOOT PADS

#3 Leave on for 45-60 minutes, keeping your feet relaxed and flat on the ground so the product is covering your feet evenly. Once the time is up, remove your feet, rinse them in warm water and towel-dry them.

MILKY FOOT PADS ON FEET

#4 Your feet will start peeling within 3-7 days and can peel for up to a week, but you shouldn’t feel any pain.

FEET PEELING MILKY FOOT

#5 Once the peeling starts, you can speed up the process by soaking your feet in warm water.

SOAKING FEET MILKY FOOT

#6 As tempting as it might be, do not pull on the peeling skin - just let it fall off naturally.

#7 Also, this may sound gross, but it’s a good idea to wear socks to bed to catch the dead skin as it falls off overnight.

PULLING SOCK ONTO FOOT

#8 Milky Foot is such an easy way to achieve smooth feet and you can repeat the process every two months.

MILKY FOOT BEFORE AND AFTER

#9 Laura used Milky Foot Active, which is specifically formulated for active people and has the added benefit of neutralising foot odour. There is also the original Milky Foot, which is available in regular and large sizes.

This looks so weird...I'd be so nervous about it

I don't think I could trust myself not to peel the skin off!

I stupidly tried a cheaper brand second time round and it didn't work anywhere near as well. So I now have to buy Milky foot again so I can have nice soft feet again!

nicsta 10 Jun 2016 3:16 PM

I love this product! I usually do this treatment maybe 3 times a year when I can remember. I use the extra strength one they now have and I find my skin to be so perfectly smooth after all the skin sheds off! The only annoying thing is when there is only the skin left on the sides or top of the foot to come off, and it's noticeable to others! Also, when you place the booties on your feet, ensure you wear thick socks over them to avoid any leaks. Try not to walk around when you have them on!

Luckily the skin on my feet is so soft and smooth but that's probably because I moisturise them heaps.

This is fascinating and horrific. I don't know if I could stand my feet peeling like that for days and days.

I've been considering doing this lately but was unsure if it wasn't a rort. After reading this I will definately give it a go. Even though the peeling part looks pretty feral.

Sparkle 77 28 May 2016 9:29 PM

I tried this a month or so ago and it took 6 days for my feet to start peeling! I really thought it wasn't going to work but once one (painless) air bubble blisters turn up it just keeps going for days until your feet are silky soft.

Wear socks because it is really gross and you don't want skin EVERYWHERE. This so effective that I would recommend it before you spend money on a pedicure.

Mmmm yummy.

I don't think I could deal with skin peeling. I think I'd rather a balm or cream!

eeeeee866 8 Apr 2016 4:10 PM

I think ill give these a miss

TanLover 5 Apr 2016 8:13 PM

Yes! I can't wait to purchase these!! Hopefully I'll be able to get them in beautorium

itslinda 4 Apr 2016 9:31 PM

great article

Deantra728 4 Apr 2016 7:22 PM

My partner did this last night - looking forward to the results!! Only thing I gotta say is, please I wish they would make them larger for those of us with bigger feet!!! :)

annieleex 3 Apr 2016 8:47 PM

I would love to try this!

duality 3 Apr 2016 8:23 PM

I don't get why this brand is so expensive, there are at least.3 on the market at 1/4 of the price and they work just the same.

darasparkle 29 Mar 2016 11:34 PM

Interesting article - my feet have been definitely needing this for quite some time after consistently wearing ballet flats for work 5+ days a week. Bookmarked for later.

clearcrystalwater 23 Mar 2016 2:37 PM

I've never tried this but it looks hard-working!

talk-a-lot 26 Feb 2016 9:54 PM

I would like to try Milky Foot it seems to work well.

AndreaJW 20 Feb 2016 6:23 PM

I have hard dry skin on my feet and this product really is the best thing on the market for it.

ren812 7 Dec 2015 6:21 PM

Have not tried milky foot. The soles of my feet are a little dry especially the heels but it helps when i use a pumice stone in the shower. Might have to try this though!

Pink_Sugar 4 Dec 2015 12:41 AM

I don't have particularly dry or cracked feet but I got this in this year's beautorium. Excited to try it. I don't think I'll have that much peeling though.

Stresseduser 3 Dec 2015 1:43 PM

I love this product. Use it once or twice a year. I put socks over the booties the last time and it means you can walk around while wearing them
