How To Make DIY Foot "Power Peel" (Easy to make!) | Beverly Hills MD Beauty Tips

When it comes to skincare, there is one body part we often forget: our feet! As we age, the skin on our feet begins to lose its natural oils, leaving them cracked and dry. Which is not only painful, but can also make your feet look less-than-presentable.
Today the professionals at Beverly Hills MD teach you how to make a basic foot peel out of natural household items! This do-it-yourself treatment is designed to moisturize your feet, while removing layers of dead skin - making them look smooth, supple, and luxuriously soft. Try it out for yourself and share your results in the comments!

So... I'm trying to make this with a capfull.. however its not a paste and I've done the 2tablespoons of the lemon and water. What do I do...?

[@vekeishajack1148]

For anyone wondering if this method works, YES IT DOES!!!!! I was struggling with dried, tough dead skin on my heels, bottom feet and stubborn calluses. I made the paste, let it sit for about 3 hours, rinsed my feet with warm water and used a foot file to help remove the peeling dead skin. I did this a week ago and my feet are still so smooth and calluse free. I definitely recommend this video. Thank you doc! ❤

[@BeverlyHillsMD]

We appreciate your feedback, thank you for the support.

[@melanyferrer48]

any kind of aspirin is ok to use

[@HanilaAli]

@@BeverlyHillsMD Is it safe to use for kids aged 8 years old? My daughter is suffering from cracked feet and calluses at such a young age 😢

[@tiffanysimagination]

Thanx for letting us know I'm definitely going to try this.

[@llamabeans]

For anyone curious, the science behind why this works is this: • Aspirin contains Salicylic Acid, which is a very effective chemical exfoliant, known as a Beta-Hydroxy Acid, or BHA for short. Salicylic Acid is an active ingredient in acne washes and dandruff shampoos. It is a keratalytic agent and works to break down old dead skin cells. • Lemon juice is acidic in nature, so it has the power to soften dead skin. It sort of paves the way for the Salicylic Acid to work. • And the water - it's purely a carrier for the ingredients in this recipe. :)

I wore combat boots for 300hrs or more a month for a year and had severely cracked feet. I used this mask for about a hour and a half. My feet are so soft and don't hurt anymore when I'm walking. I wanted to say thank you. This really works.

[@BeverlyHillsMD]

We appreciate your feedback!

[@Syerren]

Here you go.. 1 capful finely crushed non coated aspirin 2 TBS of lemon juice 2 TBS of water Mix together, apply on the sides and bottom of your feet wrap them in plastic bags put on some warm socks and let them cook for at least an hour.

[@joymcinvale896]

It works. I bought a $0.98 bottle of coated aspirin at Walmart. I crushed half the bottle of aspirin, 2 table spoon of lemon juice, 2 table spoon water. It wasn't a paste it was more liquid so I just poured it over my feet and rubbed in the aspirin that had settled in bottom of bowl. Covered feet with plastic bags and slipped on socks. Left for 1 1/5 hrs. Now the first day I didn't really see anything different, next day not much difference so I wrote it off as a waste of my time but the third day I rubbed my feet with oil and noticed much smoother feet. My feet are like they looked and felt in my 20's and I'm blown away by the results. My feet didn't peel like in the picture but must have flaked off in my socks over the few days. Next time I do this I will use a different ratio to form more of a paste.

[@kausarparveen2505]

Absolutely amazing, the only diy which worked wonders for me, im in love with it, i did it only twice 6 months apart and I never had cracked feet again for last 1-1/2 years ❤

[@annastasiaeckard6044]

Scrub feet at night and rub lemon juice on. Leave to dry. Do this a few nights and craks will disapear. Works

[@sonja897]

I will try this too. I use Epson salt and one cup of vinegar and soak for 20 minutes in a foot pan to keep my feet and toenails healthy. This cleared my yellowing toenails to a healthy white color. Also keeps my feet soft and callous free.

[@BeverlyHillsMD]

Let us know how it works for you!

[@wendyc5217]

It works!! I left it on my feet for 3hrs and they are silk smooth!! No peeling skin yet I will wait and see what happens over the next few days

[@pattyh5248]

This was definitely not a paste. It was a liquid, but that didn't matter. It worked wonderfully! I used my Amope electric file the next day and was really happy with the results so far. I'm 59 yo and had tried many different lotions and soaks. This is by far the best!

[@jesusloveseveryone888]

Love your video, Doc! I am in the process of making this as well, but in following your exactly recipe, I have a liquid and not a paste! I decided to soak paper towel halves in the solution, apply cling wrap to keep them in place, then place an outer bag…and finally later on the socks! God bless you for this! I swear by weekly (only once a week) Aspirin facial masks, and my skin is like glass! I have the perfect recipe if anyone is interested. 💝

[@LizzieWhiz]

I use aspirin and a body wash which has lactic acid in but it is usually for my toes, I apply it with a nail brush and let it sit for 5 minutes while I wait for my conditioner to get to work. then rinse. I find it exfoliates the dead skin and brightens the toenails so they look less yellowish.....the latter must be an age thing because it is not toenail fungus. I will definitely try your remedy on my feet though.
