OMG, this is amazing - I need someone else to try it!

You know those face razor things you can get to dermaplane your face at home?

I did my face as usual, then absentmindedly did a bit of my leg..... it was AMAZING!!!

I thought I was exfoliating quite well as did those mitt things and a scrub once a week, but I clearly bloody wasn’t! The skin and fuzz and just general crap that came off just from a small section has made my day!

Maybe this should be in sporners, I’m not sure, but my leg is so soft and it just looks shinier and better some how.

Please someone else try it so I can share this wonder! (Or tell my my legs must be super yuck and yours are all normal and nothing happened!)

I've bought some. Thanks @Ninjakittysmellz, you bloody enabler Xmas Grin

Just ordered some to try, never used anything like this before.

Do you think they will work on heels? Or do I need corn/callous remover for heels. My feet get so dry and moisturisers don't cut it.

IHaveBrilloHair · 16/12/2019 14:15

I use these, they are like sandpaper but get rid of all hair and dry skin etc.
Bloody marvellous and cheap as chips

But doesn't this destroy the mantle? I'm sure that's was what they always went on about in the olden days....the problem with physical exfoliation.

What is the mantle?!! I suspect mine is thoroughly distroyed! Grin

Its the waxy coating that keeps us waterproof..

But what do I know?

I decided that if you can scrape off the gunk, you can grind it off too. Attacked my nose with a fresh toothbrush head and some toothpaste.....nose is so damn clean looking.

But yes, my mantle is fucked too now! Grin

JuneSpoon · 17/12/2019 16:41

Grin you cleaned your nose with an electric toothbrush!! Brilliant!!

TheFairyCaravan · 17/12/2019 16:50

Someone posted these little razors on here years ago. I've been doing my face with them since then. The hairs do grow back but not quickly.

IHaveBrilloHair · 17/12/2019 17:07

They are really small though, does it not take a couple of packs for legs etc?

YouveDoneItToYourself · 17/12/2019 17:09

My razors have arrived! I'm desperate to try them but will they make me break out?? If so I will wait for the weekend!

reservoircats · 17/12/2019 17:27

I've ordered some and they're arriving on Thursday! Can't wait for my new dolphin-smooth legs/ face.

WomblingMerryChristmasOfThigh · 17/12/2019 18:29

Mine have arrived. I found that, bizarrely, they gave me irritation and a rash on the backs of my hands (I have hairy knuckles Blush) but not my face, which is smooth as a baby's bum now Grin

sluj · 17/12/2019 18:40

I havent tried them anywhere else (yet) but they work much better on your face if you pull them down to your jaw rather than try to "shave" upwards. It took me a couple of tries to work that one out Blush

Bjorksswandress · 17/12/2019 18:57

Mine arrived today. I had a go but no crap came off at all 🤔. I know my t-zone is congested so that was a bit weird. My face is a bit stingy tho and it’s very smooth.

Bjorksswandress · 17/12/2019 18:59

I went downwards in small ‘scrapes’ from forehead, to cheeks then chin. I followed a YouTube video. How often are you doing it/ going to do it for dermabrasion.

buytheworldacoke · 17/12/2019 19:30

On the strength of this post I ordered some and they've arrived today, have just done my face and am bloody delighted! So smooth.., this combined with my new serum has my skin looking positively glowing... thank you OP!

I am so happy to be an enabler! Seriously though, you think the face is good - do your legs! SO satisfying!!! I’m on holiday at the moment and I’m positively glowing (though that could be the alcohol...... Grin)

thisenglishlife · 17/12/2019 19:51

I tried it and nothing came off my legs, but I feel that they may be a little smoother. I do exfoliate them at least once a week already though and usually moisturise them once or twice a day.

CheddarCheesy · 17/12/2019 21:19

I've just ordered some!! Do you go up your leg like you're shaving, or down your leg in the direction of the hair?

Ninjakittysmellz · 17/12/2019 21:42

I went up my leg like I was shaving, but down my face..... so I’m clearly a contrary bugger with no fixed rules!

FuckWhenDidIGetOld · 19/12/2019 00:20

Omg I feel like velvet! Grin

Went over my face. I've wanted derma planing for months but couldn't afford it.

My face feels so smooth!! Gunna lob some night cream on and go to bed.

Will report back tomorrow if I look like a swamp donkey! Crown ConfusedGrin

Oooh that’s some lovely sporn there @FuckWhenDidIGetOld Grin try your leg now! Haha!

Birdy65 · 19/12/2019 12:30

I'm tempted, but do you not get stubble on your face when the hairs grow back? Is it not a razor?

FuckWhenDidIGetOld · 19/12/2019 14:04

Pleased to report no masks needed Crown Grin

I don't have the patience for my legs! Haha

I have used it on my lower arms. I'm in lurrrrve!

Bjorksswandress · 19/12/2019 19:19

Fuckwhendidigetold that’s impressive. I’m not sure why attempt yielded nothing. My chin and my nose look congested but nothing came off onto the blade. I followed a YouTube tutorial and thought i was doing it as she said to. I must say my skin does look more glowy and smoother though. How often do any of you do their face?
