Wasn't able to take a real-life picture of this (gave it to my sister) but saw this in Argyle Street, Glasgow yesterday. Collection Primed & Ready Correct & Conceal Kit, £1

I bought one in Home Bargains for 89p and used it on Tuesday night. You have to leave it on for 90 minutes so I did it while watching BGT. I didn't have much hard skin so it'll be interesting to see what happens. The instructions reckon skin will start peeling after 7 days. Watch this space......

Well the skin has started peeling in patches - mainly on undersides of toes and ball of foot. Nothing on heels yet. I would describe the areas that are peeling as what your skin looks like when you've had a blister and it has popped and then the skin looks loose.

I've seen a few people on the Poundland FB page say that their feet are still peeling after a few weeks so I would probably avoid these things.

Which makes me wonder: what is the point of using something that trades unsightly hard skin for unsightly peeling skin? Because if the aim is to have presentable sandal-ready feet, its not going to happen for weeks.

I'll keep you posted as to how long it takes to stop peeling - heels have been peeling since my last post.

Does it make your feet uncomfortable?

I have been going at my feet with my trusty poundshop version Ped-Egg, thick moisturiser and winter socks, and they are the best they have looked in years! (Once the socks come off, obvs ).

I meant that since I posted that the peeling had started on toes and balls of feet now my heels had started peeling (2 days after the peeling started elsewhere). I didn't mean that the heels had been peeling since the beginning. However - peeling started on 4th in some areas and other areas have started peeling on 5th and 6th. The instructions tell you not to pull the skin off but the temptation is too great to give it a helping hand.
