Will A “Baby Foot” Peel Give You Sexy, Irresistible Feet?

If you are anything like me, your feet function as a window to the struggles of your everyday life.  This is to say that they have not experienced any real, legitimate trauma–no broken bones, no foot-binding–but they just look tired, you know?

Whiten your teeth. You can even–at least, according to Pinterest legend–make your own deodorant out of coconut oil. As someone who often “talks the talk” but does not often “walk the walk,” so to speak, when it comes to obscure beauty DIYs, I decided to find out if it would work for myself.
