Women are going wild for £1 foot peel - but it makes feet look gross for a while

With summer fast approaching, you're probably starting to think about getting yourself warm weather ready.

Sunny days means showing off more skin and depending on how you feel about it, that might call for an abundance of shaving, waxing and fake tanning.

But one other thing you should consider in all this is your feet, as it's almost time to ditch the boots and crack out the sandals.

And if you're thinking your soles might need a bit of TLC, then women on Facebook might have found the perfect solution for you - and the best part is that it's super cheap!

People on the Poundland Appreciation Society group can't stop raving about a £1 exfoliating foot peel being sold in the store.

Essentially it's a pair of clip-on socks filled with the tea tree and peppermint treatment, which you wear on both feet for 90 minutes and then after a week, the hardened skin on your feet should start peeling right off.

Many have branded the product 'amazing' and shared photos of it in action, claiming the skin-shedding stage was very satisfying.

One person wrote: "These are amazing. They work really well. Also really enjoy peeling the skin off."

Another commented: "I've used them and the peeling part is not pretty but my feet feel amazing now."

A third added: "I didn't really think it would work, but it started to peel Friday (five days after using it)."

Someone else claimed it "practically cleared up" their really bad skin. They added: "Well worth £1!"

"I love doing mine," wrote a fifth person. "I have to wear socks around the house but the results are soooo worth it."

However not everyone loved the way the peel worked, with some thinking it was gross and others saying it left their feet looking awful.

"My feet are still peeling three weeks later," responded an unsatisfied user. "It's just annoying me now. My feet look horrible."

A second person who tried it said: "They are just constantly dry and peeling even weeks later. It might be because I didn't wait for it to fully peel off itself and that might slow the process maybe."
