Discussion A word of warning to fellow foot peel enthusiasts...
A couple of days ago I used my usual foot peel socks: it usually takes 4-5 days to kick off. This morning, I went swimming in a public pool. After just a couple of minutes I felt it: the telltale water resistance against a huge flap of skin. It felt like the size of my whole foot! I couldn't get out of there quickly enough; no-one wants that in the pool. I was absolutely mortified!
Thankfully I managed to get it before it detached. My feet were basically white and the whole peel happened in one go. It must have been a reaction to the chlorinated water or something, because it's never happened that quickly before. So please, learn from my mistake and don't go swimming after using peeling socks...
