exfoliator help by The_Chavez on 16 Aug, 2007 08:53

I went to Wal-mart last night to get a exfoliator....And I couldn't find any. I saw alot of things called "face wash" and "face scrub"or "face clenser" ......Are those the same things? I went ahead and bought some kind of face clenser by Nivea for sensitive skin and used it this morning....it seems like i got a closer shave but I still have the problem with the bumps? Do i just need to use it for awhile or did I get the wrong thing?

thechavez..... yes face scrub is the same as an exfoliator. a good face scrub is "st ives apricot srub" or the nivea 4 men energizing face scrub. there r many but these r the ones that i use & r excellant. keep us posted on your steps 2 slyness.

Ditto what warhawk said, St. Ives does a great job. You can also try HeadShed from the guys at HeadBlade.

I'm with Paul. HeadShed is the way to go. I even use it on my beard.

Yeah, what the others said. St. Ive's Apricot Scrub is a very good one. They also have a knock off brand at Targets that is even cheaper. And the Nivea stuff you got is good for in between cleanings. Because you don't really want to use the scrub everyday because it can irritate your scalp. Then again it just depends on how sensitive your dome is. But for me I use the St. Ive's twice a week. Then in between I use the Nivea Sensitive Face Wash on my dome and face.

Yeah, what Lance said...I started using the Target brand and find it just as good as St. Ive's!!!

You can also crush up broken glass and mix it with p-nut butter.....definitely not for sensitive skin.

I'm with all my sly bros and use St Ives Apricot Scrub. Works great as an exfoliant and gets rid of dry skin on the dome and helps you get a clean and smooth shave. I use 3x per week.
I shave every day.
I have never used the Headshed although I hear it produces good results. -

Is that a formula you'll be selling soon?

I would therefore assume that you use the "crunchy" and not the smooth?

Actually, the Meister is a pussy. Peanuts are too tough for him. He uses filbert butter.

Not familiar with filbert butter. Is this like almond butter?
I am a fan of tahini which is a seasame paste with a nutty flavor. I have eaten it for years. Very good with middle eastern type bread.
I wonder if this would make a good exfoliator.
