Now and then, the topic of “exfoliating the skin” comes up. Here’s the best solution I have found so far: “micro-dermabrasion WITHOUT the machine!” (Actually, there is no need for the machine at all!)
You can purchase the aluminum oxide crystals on-line or from a beauty supply (get the medium grade). These crystals are “razor sharp” and will not “dull” in water. As you can see in the photo, put a small amount in your hand, add some water (make a paste) and start rubbing GENTLY! This stuff REALLY works, so “go easy.” Afterward, just wash it off with soap and water. You will need something to put on afterward to calm the skin … aloe?
I like the product because it’s not “organic” and will always be germ free. You also use a new batch each time … again much safer.
The product you see in the photo was from a company that “gave up” selling the stuff. See, the public THINKS you need the machine. However, (in my opinion) the machine has some risks. Doing this YOURSELF, and getting familiar with the right “feeling,” i.e., before you start doing damage, is easily learned. Oh, by the way, I bought 25 of these bottles for only $1 each. (I’ve been giving them away to clients that want to do this. I only have 2 left.)
