I can't wait to use the microdermabrasion thing!

>>Make sunday a day of pampering, luv! Make yourself a delish drink...take a hot bubble bath..watch a girlie movie. Coddle yourself....you deserve it!

Good idea, Talon!

Two things I do: I keep a little plastic bottle with a flip top full of baking soda in the shower and add a couple of shakes of that to pretty much any facial wash I use. I think I usually grab something from Neutrogena. It's a super inexpensive way to exfoliate.

I also use hydrogen peroxide as a toner. I learned that trick from a friend who's been in the facial business for years. After I wash my face, I just use a cotton round and go for it. The combined cost of a box of baking soda and a bottle of peroxide is maybe $3.

>>Great tip. I'm trying this today. Thank you, Fatale.

>>This is interesting..the peroxide wouldn't be drying either, compared w/other alchohol-based toners.

It can sometimes stain your eyelids too.

>>I really like this idea...Do you find that the powdered milk works better than using regular whole milk added to your bath?
