Sommer Shiels Sales & Marketing
After Sommer’s full run down on the company, I left with their signature Exfoliating Boots, an anti-ageing at-home foot treatment developed by medical and skincare professionals that provides a simple, intensive and long-lasting solution to dry, cracked heels and foot odor.
Cracked Heels
My test case would be my partner; I photographed his feet so he could see this transformation unfold literally over the next 10 days. First you wash your feet, dried them thoroughly then place your feet into the plastic booties, which contain a unique formulated blend of 10 percent alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), plus gentle flower extracts.
Step1 Wash Feet , Booties On
Leave the booties on for 45 minutes, Sommer recommend placing a pair of socks over the booties and just walk around the house. During the last 15 minutes or so, you will feel the feet tingle a little, and then after 45 minutes remove the booties and thoroughly wash the feet, so all of the formulation has been removed.
Step 2 Place socks over Booties
Over the next 7 – 10 days, Pure Pedi’s Exfoliating Boots remove dead skin, really hard stubborn dead skin, by allowing the feet to peel naturally. I took photos each 3rd day and it was amazing to see this hard skin just lift away revealing soft, healthy and younger-looking skin.
Step 3 Thoroughly wash Feet after 45 minutes
This is a safe, yet highly effective formula, to deliver long-lasting benefits. A single 45-minute treatment results in smooth feet and prevents hard skin build-up for up to six months. The Alpha hydroxy acids work as an exfoliant, causing the cells of the epidermis to become ‘unglued’ allowing the dead skin cells to slough off, making room for the re-growth of new skin. AHAs help improve wrinkling and roughness, so using them to maintain your feet long-term, means smoother and softer feet.
The Peeling begins, this is just beginning
One important point is that you must allow your feet to exfoliate naturally after the treatment, don’t try and pull any of the hard skin away, even though it looks like paper sheets, you must give your feet the time to renew themselves. Also no foot creams during the 10 or so exfoliating days, otherwise the exfoliation process will halt and once again the hard skin will return. As I watched my partners feet change over the 10 days, to clear pink healthy looking feet, I only wished we had used these before the summer, men with pretty feet now that’s a thought. Pure Pedi is not available in the US at the moment, but go to the Pure Pedi web site and order them online.
