babyfoot

i really have to catch up to my reviews. there are couple of products that i've tried and taken notes to be reviewed, but since i got a lot of things in my calendar, it got all backed up. and i have a lot of stash to try! i can't believe that i haven't tried the foot exfoliator that i bought from japan, so one night i asked my husband if he wanted to try it, and to my surprise, he said okay! hahaha.. i think the world will end since he agreed to do it without being forced to. actually, i thought this is a foot mask, but turned out it was a foot exfoliator. and i bought it for him actually, but i would try it if he refused to use it. but he wanted to, so don't be surprise to see his foot here. let me warn you though.. it's not pretty..

and this is quite a famous one.. when i was about to go to japan, i was looking for anything worth to buy from japan, and i saw these in every japan haul, so i thought it must be good. and i didn't know that there are different types of this mask. i just grab the one that i see in the store. turned out there are a few types and sizes, but luckily the one that i picked work just fine for us.

this is the description from the us website: baby foot is an innovative foot care product that will make your feet as smooth and soft as a baby's foot. the unique formula of 17 types of natural extracts allow your feet to exfoliate naturally leaving them highly moisturized. this effective and gentle process removes the unwanted dead skin cells that have built up layer after layer. so say goodbye to rough, dry, cracked soles, by using a product that really works!

the packaging: it comes in a cardbox with the famous red lining that makes it different from korean foot exfoliator. (remember tony moly and holika holika? both have similar products with this one). the box will have the description of the size and the time needed for this mask. the one that i bought was the medium one and required 60 minutes. the box has the mask, and instruction pamphlet with pictures in japanese text.

the scent: this is seriously very fragrant. although you put it on your feet, but seriously.. the whole room filled with the fragrance from this exfoliator. so probably you need to consider it if you have sensitive nose.

the product: it comes in a plastic boot-like shape. the masks' already have essence on it, and it's pretty generous. it's different type of soaking mask from the one that you put on your face, so it doesn't drip out from the plastic boot, but it's wet even after 60 minutes. so my husband told me to use it for another 40-50 minutes and it's still wet.

the result: it has cooling effect the moment you put it on your feet. and there's nothing going on the day after. but starting day 3, i started to see the peeling effect on my feet. but on my husband's, around day 4-5 the effect is really shown. he had more dead skin than me, and it's thicker, so it comes off in a single peel-off skin, pretty thick but it's not hurt at all. while mine comes off in tiny bits, very messy, so you might want to use sock if you don't want to clean the mess. but after a week, the peeling effect is gone and then i'm left with the remnant of the almost-peeled off skin. i have to scrub it to peel it. and it's really not painful at all.

soooo... will totally recommend it but lately i found out that it's so expensive. i think if you don't want to spend a lot of money, probably try the korean one since they also get a lot of good reviews. but if were in japan and wanted to try it, then definitely just grab it. it's worth the money, really.
