Geoff, They used to sell sand paper mitts as a French Depilation System for an extravagant amount of money. Worked well on legs too. Lucky Jane. A man who plays the banjo and sands legs. You must lead a good life, lady. JenEllen, I too swear by St. Ives. I should have explained. This is not an attempt to look younger. It is an attempt to gain control over my nubile (bless you, gnu) complexion. I occasionally get a facial to help keep my pores clean and unblocked but I simply can't afford it every week. Nature is a vicious bitch. The same oil that keeps me looking 34, just like JenEllen,(shut up Amos!) has taken to causing major breakouts since menopause. Yes, I did the spot test - always do since Nair turned my upper lip into a red and swollen scab. WYSIWYG, I am not sure what you are going on about. This is a mild abrasive moisturizing cream not an acid peel. One step above St. Ives' Apricot Scrub. So no one has used this? SINS, all aglow.
