Hello again Smile

I have a question about what product to use to exfoliate my chest area. I am getting the tca on my face and neck but can not get it on my chest since I am having implants at the same time. I don't want my face and neck to look all smooth and lighter than my chest so I need an "at home" kind of peel to use there.

Also I have terrible dark circles under my eyes..not the kind you get from bags as I have no fat under the eyes. They are dark purple slash marks not quite vertical but not horizontal either. The dark purple is under the skin. A nice firming mask would be nice too. I would appreciate any recommendations for these problems.
Thanks

My recommendation in regards to the dark circles would be the PTR Power K Eye Rescue cream. It's worked very well on my dark circles when nothing else would. It contains vit K which is often used by surgeons to reduce bruising etc There is also Eye Bright by CellularSkinRx. It's a nice hydrating gel, particularly useful if you use vit C serums around your eyes. I haven't seen much results with it but have seen good reports about it here.

...I think the eyebright is only for light circles...I reckon heavy ones would need some PTR stuff

Thank you Masby and guapagirl Smile

I have this feeling I am on my way to becoming addicted to skin care Shock

Beeba,
I use the Eye Bright but have used the PTR as well. I think they both do a good job of lightening up your undereye circles. I get the EB now because it works and it is not so expensive. As for your exfoliation question, I think enzyme peels/scrubs are a nice gentle way to dissolve the top layer of dead skin. I have used Adrien Arpel's Papaya Enzyme scrub and like to use it as a mask on my body to get rid of dead skin. For physical exfoliation, I have been using the Polishing Grains from cellularskinrx.com. (Same site as the EB product) They are a very fine powder made from adzuki beans (something that asian women have been using for ages to smooth their skin)...I mix them with pretty much any cleanser/oil/moisturizer I have on hand to make an exfoliating paste and then use on legs, chest, elbows, etc. besides my face. It's just a nice easy way to turn everything you own into a scrub. Smile

Good luck with your TCA and your implants!
