What clogged pores???
What dead skin???
I’ve only heard of these things from companies which wish to sell something.
Sure, some folks have acne and other skin problems, but most have perfectly healthy skin that sheds skin cells naturally.
And what about the skin on your butts and backs and tummies, etc. Does it not “need” to be rid of that awful dead skin?
The power of the mind. Amazing!
Um. Mangeorge. Have you noticed that, as a general rule, men keep their youthful appearance longer than do women? (Yes, I just generalized. Don’t have a hissy fit, everyone) Do you think, perhaps, it may in some small way have something to do with the fact that men scrape not only hair, but dead skin cells from their faces and necks on a regular basis? Women do not do this. Our faces and necks also show age faster than any other part of our bodies.
I am 37 years old. I do not LOOK 37 years old. I want to KEEP not looking 37 years old for as long as I can, but I refuse to have surgery to acheive that. I’ve seen what happens during a face lift. Ick.
Yes, I spend a substantial amount of money at the dermatologist/esthetician’s office once a month. To me, it’s worth it. My skin stays soft, the acne’s gone, and I’m more self confident. To me, that justifies it.
As for the rest of my body; well, pedicures, manicures, and what’s between gets rubbed, scratched and touched on a frequent enough basis, thanks. 
Lucky you…how well do you think sour grapes would work as an exfoliant?
Maureen, if nobody looks 37, then what does 37 look like? If everybody who’s 37 avails themselves of the services of an esthetician (can you believe there’s such a thing?), then they all look 37. And that big four-oh is coming, and it’s unstoppable. Actually, it’s kinda cool getting older.
It’s your money. But you don’t need me to tell you that. I spend a lot of money on my car. I eat out a lot. I’ve got no business telling anyone how to spend their money, kiddo.
And only cowards never generalize, imo.
Age = this year - birth year. That’s it. 2004 - 1945 = 59.
heheheheee…Thanks, Mangeorge. Nobody’s called me kiddo in AGES. That’s almost as good as a trip to the spa!
