Can wash or work on paddy field after using this

This is the Wild Glow Foot Peel Mask - a Korean exfoliating foot treatment that works by soaking your feet in a chemical solution (typically containing AHAs like lactic acid or glycolic acid) for about 10 minutes, which causes the dead skin to peel off over the following days.
Can you wash dishes or work in a paddy field after using it?
Short answer: No, you should avoid both - especially for several days after using it.
Here's why:

Right After Applying (During the 10-minute treatment)

  • You wear the booties/mask socks for 10 minutes, so you physically can't walk in a field during that time
  • Light activity at home is fine

The Days After (Days 3-7 when peeling starts)

This is the most important period:
  • Washing/water work - Prolonged soaking actually speeds up peeling, which can make your skin raw, sensitive, and vulnerable to irritation or infection. It's best to keep contact with water minimal and short.
  • Paddy field work - This is a definite no:
    • Standing in muddy/stagnant water exposes freshly peeled or peeling skin to bacteria, fungi, and soil pathogens
    • The skin underneath the peeling layers is new, thin, and highly sensitive
    • Risk of infection (cuts or open skin + muddy water = high risk)
    • The rough terrain and prolonged wet exposure can cause pain and damage to delicate new skin

General Advice After Using a Foot Peel Mask:

  1. Keep feet clean and dry as much as possible
  2. Avoid soaking feet (no long baths, no paddy field, no pool)
  3. Do not peel or pull the skin manually - let it shed naturally
  4. Wear clean socks to protect the new skin
  5. Apply a moisturizer once peeling is complete
  6. Wait at least 1-2 weeks before doing heavy outdoor/wet foot work
If you must work in the paddy field, it's better to wait until the peeling is completely finished and the new skin has had a few days to toughen up.
