I can't stop peeling my crusty ass feet. Every time the skin grows back I start picking again. Then it hurts to walk for a couple days. My mother keeps telling me to put vaseline on my feet at night and sleep in socks but I gotta sleep barefoot to be comfortable. Then my feet get caught on my sateen (yes, sateen) sheets and it makes a lot of noise and wakes my baby. It's so annoying. I just wish I could break this unhealthy habit. Does anyone else do this...

Get those foot masks off of amazon. You leave it on for 50-90 mins and within a couple days your feet starts peeling and then you have smooth skin. Also make sure you have a proper foot care routine. Moisturizing is important.

Why your feet crusty though? :sidefrown

You can buy foot cream, feet peeling masks, feet moisturizing masks, etc. You can also get a pumice stone and exfoliate your feet when you shower. I've heard the vaseline in socks trick works also, but if you can't do it at night, try to do it during the day for a few hours. These measures will keep the crust at bay. Good luck.

Try a foot mask and start exfoliating your feet with some exfoliating gloves everytime you take a shower/bath and then make sure you moisturize afterwards in order to keep them soft. Or you could try one of those foot exfoliator mats you put down on your shower floor so you're exfoliating as you shower, I haven't tried the exfoliating foot mat, so I don't know how well it works, just a suggestion.

Hey, this repeated picking can be a form of OCD, I’d talk to your doctor if you can’t get it under control. I deal with it too, since I was a kid.

The treatments above are good at keeping the thick skin on your feet under control but even once they’re nice if it’s become an ingrained habit you’ll need to replace it with a different behavior. I’ve found cute fidget jewelry on etsy before that I use to curb my picking. Hope it gets better!

There are socks that just cover your heel and have a silicone gel to keep your heels in the lotion or Vaseline all night.

-Put your feet under hot water with vinegar and salt-20 min
-Use a towel to dry the feet
-After, you just need to exfoliate with a pumice stone, to get rid of dead skin.
Do this everyday for a week and then 1/2 times a week.

Do vaseline and socks in the morning. You might slip and slide a little in the first hour or so but you'll get used to it lol.

I second baby feet. It's like having brand new feet after using that stuff. But you CAN'T pick it off. No matter how tempting it may be.

After baby feet, use a pumace stone or an exfoliating scrub/wash on your feet. Those little green Korean towelettes are good exfoliators for the whole body. The people who say that visible dead skin came off while using those things are either lying or white. But they definitely helped me get rid of my strawberry legs and keep my feet super smooth.
