Unusual exfoliater?

[jck05]

I'm new her so I don't know if this has been discussed but.....Has anyone tried Pretty Feet and Hands on your face??....

never tried that. seems like it would be too gritty for the face, imo.

I 'd think it would be too harsh for facial skin, I think you should try it if you have nonsensitive skin and in a smaller amount, maybe a dime sized amount.

Once, on accident. Definitely not a good idea. You need something that is perfectly round or damn near close to it to gently, but effectively exfoliate your face. Anything that is not rounded, i.e., walnuts, found in the Apricot Scrub as well as other scrubs can severely, yet microscopically cut and scrape your face. Your best bet is to use sugar or baking soda as a gentle, awesome and cheap way to exfoliate your skin.

I wouldn't recommend it, that stuff is harsh!

Ditto to what everyone else has said! I think it would be too harsh for your face!

Too late.....I already did it.......One day I was doing my feet and I got to thinking...hmmmmm......So I hesitantly ( at first) tried it... I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary so I kept going ....I never saw sooo much skin come off before!....I kept applying and rubbing and rubbing....I got so carried away I went to my neck....it was grosser, ( is that a word ?) even more skin......by this time I would have filled the tub and just jumped in.....

I finally washed my face... I was afraid to look in the mirror....I thought it was going to be broke out in some kind of hideous rash or look like I was in a tanning bed to long.....It was normal looking, no more than a little redness from the rubbing.....

I was a little disappointed, I just removed my entire face yet it looked the same, how could that be?.....But I must say it did feel like a babies butt, I kept touching it.....I was afraid to put any kind of moisturizer on at this point, because of the perfumes and the possibility of burning, so I just rubbed on some vaseline, which was ok....I don't think I would recommend it for someone with sensitive skin.....I have cast iron skin myself.....

jck05,Im sure it'll be fyne in a while dont worry.Take me, I can NEVER use any scrubs at all.Ive used all kinda scrubs from this world(lolz!), even tried the homemade ones like sugar..still the next day i'll be breaking out...A derm told me that we needn't to scrub our face dat much actually..when we shower and wash our face with regular cleanser and wipe with towel, that has already done most of the scrubbing it seems

 

[jck05]

The reason I asked was I wanted to see if anyone has done this long term.....I wonder if I kept going for say once every 5-7 days for 6-8 weeks would I then see a diff......

I tried to search but I had no luck.....
