different directions than usual [SEP] i have used a few different foot masks before and these have very different directions most tell you to put them on for minutes these only have you leave the foot masks on for minutes when we used these we followed these directions i am not sure if they would have worked better if we would left them on as long as we would with normal foot masks along with that the directions say that if they are not working as well as you would like you can use a new mask as soon as days after the first mask that seems really soon for me often you are not going to even begin seeing results until about four or five days after you first used the mask other brands suggest that you do not use another one for at least a month that makes me think that these are not as powerful as other foot masks which could be a good thing if you are concerned about your foot masks being too powerfulone thing that surprised me about these masks was that there was no mention of soaking your feet daily after using the foot masks every other foot mask that i have used has included that in the instructions i am not sure how well these would work without soaking your feet since my family soaked our feet even though that was not part of the directionsone thing that i liked about these was that they do smell really nice they have a refreshing coconut scent some of the others that i have tried smell a bit chemically or like medicine unfortunately i did not feel like these worked as well as other foot masks they are probably a star item for me they are less expensive than the other masks that i have tried but they do not seem to work as well i would be willing to pay a little more for higher quality
