Skinny Dip







I pulled this this wonderful Micro-Dermabrasion kit from a Nutrimetics party lucky dip last month for half it's usual price of $80.95. I thought I was saving money, but you ladies all know how freebies usually turn out - I am now addicted and almost willing to spend the $80.95 for a replacement kit when this one runs out.

A lot of women go through the pain and expense of Acid Peels in salons. But this exfoliant gets the same results for just 2 minutes of scrubbing in the shower, once a week.





As you can see, the exfoliant itself is still a smooth, gentle paste for the face. Since using Micro-Dermabrasion, my skin has been smooth and clear. I get even better results than when I am at the Beach with the sand and sea salt being a natural exfoliator. i wonder what other treats Nutrimetics has available?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EDITTED to add: After using this moisturiser a bit more, I have noticed how red and angry it makes my skin for an hour or so after use. A red, hot reash creeps across wherever I have spread it. Turns out this moisturiser has too much SPF in it for me as I am madly allergic. (it does say clearly 'SPF 25' on the front of the bottle... I just don't know my limits with moisturisers and makeup) I've only ever been able to use Ell McPhearson's Invisible Zinc when spending hours in the sun. But moisturisers and foundations have never been a problem until now.

Anyway I will continue to use the scrub, but have gifted the moisturiser to a friend of mine who is already addicted to Nutrimetics Micro-dermabrasion.

Shopping Intimacies


Looking over a shiny glass counter at the David Jones’ check-out, I sometimes feel just as transparent.

These women that serve me month-in and month-out probably know even more about me than my Beautician! With every item they tuck neatly into those crisp paper bags, they learn something more. LancĂ´me moisturiser for sensitive skin? Goldwell Hair Volumiser? 5-Inch peep-toe stilhettos… that’s right ladies I’m not really this leggy, and yeah, it sometimes takes a bit of scrubbing and rubbing to make my skin have this healthy glow!

Then, as if they haven’t already summed up your life in a couple of paper bags… the till pops open and they ask “Cash, Cheque or Credit?”. Anyone that has ever held their breath waiting for ‘approved’ to flash over the eftpos machine, should know what I’m talking about when I say that even my Mother doesn’t know what my financial situation is… But Lidia at David Jones now has a clue!
