Chemical Peels In Atlanta, GA

I use this for situations where I have been very dirty and sweaty for several hours, like working tearing up sod in my yard and other heavy forms of gardening. Before I get into the shower, I mortar up a few vitamin C’s into a paste, and mix it and a few vitamin E’s that I release from their capsules, with whatever cheap clay mask I can find at the drug store. After rinsing off in the shower and shampooing, I put on my hair conditioner, tie it up in a plastic bag and put a towel over the bag, so it doesn’t drip onto my body and the heat is retained by the towel for extra conditioning. I use the clay/vitamin C and E mask all over my body, let it dry, go back into the shower and rinse. When I emerge from the shower, I pat dry and apply lotion or oil to my damp skin. It’s very refreshing and cleansing when you are filthy from the garden, but I would caution overusing it.

Ingredients:
Whatever cheap basic clay mask you can find that is nondrying (i.e. doesn’t have alpha hydroxy acids in it, or perfumes, several vitamin C’s and E’s, your favorite body lotion (I usually add a few beta carotene’s and E’s to mine, plus some Bulgar Rose oil)

How to prepare:
as explained, mortar your C up until fine, mix all ingredients in a small bowl. You may have to add a bit of water to get the proper consistancy

How to use:
With your hands. LOL. Unless you have a willing man-slave available. 🙂

Results (observed by submitter):
Nice clean fresh smelling skin and a rosy glow.

Smoother looking hands

If you have purchased a facial scrub that is too harsh, don’t throw it away, just use it on your hands. Do this a few times per week. You could also use a microfiber cloth. Follow up with a good handcream and don’t forget to apply sunscreen. You can also use the facial scrub all over your body just before you take a shower.

Also, make sure to protect your hands throughout the day. Make sure you have a pair of dishwashing gloves by the sink. Protect your hands from harsh detergents when you are doing the dishes or cleaning the oven. Keep an extra pair of gloves in the garage and use them if you have to deal with solvents and paint. Paint remover on hands is very drying so use the gloves.
