Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant ($20 for 2.5 ounces) is the latest in Avon?s expanding lineup of ?Clinical? skin-care products that are meant to substitute for doctor-performed procedures such as collagen injections, Botox treatments, or, in the case of this product, microdermabrasion. I have explained before why these at-home microdermabrasion scrubs are not reliable replacements for the real thing, despite the fact that these (Avon?s included) contain the same ingredient you would get in a professional setting, namely, aluminum oxide crystals. The reason scrubbing the stuff on yourself isn?t the same as the treatment version is because your hands can?t manually do what a machine can do. You don?t have the ability to systematically or evenly ?shoot? the crystals at your skin; rather, you would just be massaging them around. Microdermabrasion is far more than just the crystals, the machine?s action is a vital part of its efficacy.
Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant is just a fairly abrasive scrub, one that, if used too aggressively, can produce irritation and microscopic tears in the skin. Of course, doctors and aestheticians can get too aggressive when using microdermabrasion machines, but those who are sufficiently trained and have experience should know how to perform the treatment so that side effects are minimal. To their credit, Avon did not include unnecessary irritants such as menthol or eucalyptus, but this is still a scrub to use with caution, and definitely one to avoid if you have sensitive skin or conditions such as rosacea or acne. It is best for normal to oily skin as an occasional (no more than once per week) scrub, and--perhaps most important--be very gentle while scrubbing.
(da svoj piskerček pristavim). Tudi mene zanima glede maske. Prebrala sem za Freemanono (avokado), da je dobra. Trenutno pa ravno gledam pri Avonu Planet SPA energising face mask white tea in cleansing face polisher white tea, ker je ful ugodna cena. Ali so te primerne za mešano kožo z ogrci, ki pa je trenutno zelo dehidrirana? Lahko pa tudi kako drugo še. V bistvu rabim eno za čiščenje in eno hranilno. Gledala sem tudi Avonovo multivitaminsko regenerativno masko za obraz (Vitamin Boost). Kakšna je pa ta? LP
No, se dobro, da sem se prej pozanimala.
