I gave my face a mini microdermabrasion last night and lots of people have commented on how nice I look today

[Enid]

[modest]

seriously, I scrubbed my (congested, blotchy, a bit oily) face with this - not meant for the face

I went quite pink

skin smooth and glowing this am

will repeat in a day or so

Crikey Enid .

If I put that near my face I wouldn't be able to leave the house for about 3 days until the Frankenstein effect wore off.

Glad it worked for you .

no seriously

am quite sensitive normally

but its just shea butter, olive oil and salt

I only did forhead, nose and chin and a teeny bit on cheeks

was very very effective

Looks good, thanks for the tip.I often use a mixture of sugar or salt with a little moisturiser to make an impromptu scrub. It does the trick and is a fraction of the price of expensive products

I bought the Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It face scrub for my elder stepson when we were in England at Easter (before removing his burgeoning collection of blackheads... eeeugh ).

Maybe I should try it on me?

I want to have a makeover, actually. A spa day. Am feeling very wintry and tired and realising that for the first time in my life my body looks better than my face

I find facial scrubs too weak

I had some blocked pores and congested looking skin (errgh) and I need serious action

was nervous about reaction but none so far

I'm so hideously lazy, I can get zillions of great products from my partner's shops and I never bother.

But I don't really like being fiddled with either.

I want to be very, very glamourous and beautiful though .

yes me too

would take me at least a full day every fortnight to remain glam and beautiful nowadays

Enid I use Time delay microdermabrasion kit and its really good. Stops my skin looking like the surface of the moon.

was considering buying that

but seriously this stuff is good (havent tried time delay though) and cheaper

Am going (with family) to hotel with spa in a fortnight.

Might seriously think of submitting myself to someone's else's attentions

I had the Ren rose body scrub when I was in berlin

was absolutely amazing

I felt great for about 3 days

Yes, the more I think about it the more I feel the need to lie back and be anointed and massaged.

Must still muster energy for waxing and hairdresser before we go.

Blimey Enid. Go easy!

Expat and I like L'Oreal Refinish

just buy a decent facial sponge and use normal soap?

much easier and it means you don't have loads of product on your bathroom window sill!

I use their hand cream, it's lovely.

oh i use the loreal one

i know they are nestle

i have also used the renoviste ant ageing glycol peel kit

which i thought would be lethal and peel actually

but in fact it doesnt

i havent done it as a programme tho which would probably be more effective rathyer than just the odd time

Sounds great, must try.

Bodyshop Pumice Foot Scrub is great for exfoliating legs before self-tan and useless for feet. Haven't attempted that on face though as it is quite gritty.

casbie then you have to keep washing it = pain in the arse

Have been using the Olay Regenerist thermal polish stuff every night and it is great!
half price in Tesco too atm!
