It seems too harsh.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349956327915851336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-6438549612481893742012-01-18T13:03:42.727-05:002012-01-18T13:03:42.727-05:00I will, I will, pinky promise!

Chemical exfoliants seem to be the better choice--I just haven't found one. Never heard of Paula's Choice. I will look into it. Thanks for the recommendation. :)<br />I'd definitely love to hear about your experience at the dermatologist!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318812770398406378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-77558549410854752542012-01-17T21:23:00.451-05:002012-01-17T21:23:00.451-05:00Hmm I like this post a lot!

But maybe they haven't been strong enough or at the right pH? I will do that! Thank you! And yes! I want to hear about your trip to the dermatologist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589727970044632991.post-62683464060678219712012-01-17T20:52:24.097-05:002012-01-17T20:52:24.097-05:00I am a little scared of physical scrub seeing how ...I am a little scared of physical scrub seeing how thin my skin gets after each use. Now I have just been cover my face with a thick oil, leave it on for quite a while (and that will just soak up dry skin and make them easily rubbed off) and that pretty much works as a scrub for me. I found retinoid pretty effective but more for scar/marks removal.Citrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199668831634182275noreply@blogger.com
