So you thought an electric toothbrush can only clean the pearly whites?
Well then take a look at this cool microdermabrasion method for clearing up the skin. You will never look at the electric toothbrush the same again!
Watch the video for a detailed walkthrough with this treatment. How does this work?
Well basically, we all know the skin is
the largest organ in the body and for that it needs constant care. Your
skin is constantly shedding and the old layer of skin is being pushed
away by the newer skin layer. Exfoliating the top most old layer of
your skin "Stratum Corneum" helps the newer skin layer emerge and
moisturizers other treatments becomes more effective. The stratum
corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world
and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from
getting through, so if we exfoliate it, then the products that you are
using on your face will be more effective.
A blackhead is basically a plug in the pore made up of oil, dead cells and bacteria. If the skin pore remains open, the exposure to the air causes the plug to darken in color, this resulting in a blackhead. If the pore is closed, a whitehead forms because of the build up of white blood cells that attacks the bacteria in the plug.
Everyone
has pores. Pores are inevitable and they are only visible if they have
dirt and oil in them. Once they are stretched, it is pretty much
impossible to close them unless you have laser treatments, but we can
stop them from getting bigger and clear them. By that, exfoliating your
skin to promote the newer skin layer to rejuvenate will help keep the
pores clear. A clear pore looks smaller than a clogged pore.

SOFT BRUSH Electric Toothbrush
Make
sure you test it on your hand to see if it is gentle enough. If it is
not, use a pumice stone and run it over it to soften it. Plus it is very inexpensive, 7 bucks I paid for this one!
An exfoliating scrub of your choice. I have suggested.
Or Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System around $30 ?
Make
sure your face has been washed, and take the exfoliating scrub of your
choice and with the electric toothbrush, gently apply it and scrub your
skin. The video will show you how I used it.

Depending on your skin, if it is very sensitive I say use this treatment twice a week. I really hope this works for your folks.
