A daily hit of the most stupendously brilliant things to land on the beauty desk. This is survival of the fittest

Exfoliating your feet is an unglamorous but necessary task. All that filing and moisturising feels like a massive faff, which is why we often ‘forget’ and then feel sheepish when we hit the streets in strappy footwear that reveals the shameful, calloused truth. 

Enter Footner Exfoliating Socks, which contain the same active AHAs that are used in cosmetic skin peels to slough off dead cells and general grub and give you smooth, pretty feet – all without you having to lift a finger. You simply pull on the socks, watch an episode of Game of Thrones, then rinse off the gel. A few days later, the dead skin will peel off (curiously, horribly satisfying) and you’ll have adorable, baby-soft feet.
