Too Graphic

BSurLife65 — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 09:17:58 GMT

Is anyone else totally grossed out by the Emjoi and dermabrasion demos??? They seem to be decent products but watching the skin bits fall from bare heels (& for 20 minutes!) turns my stomach. Why such gross close ups of the woman's red peeling skin as she tortures it with that PDM tool? What next? Oh yeah --- armpit laser hair removal and bad teeth "before" one of the lightening products. Any more??? Lots of fast forwarding on DVR and no desire for product no matter what. And don't show me someone plucking their chin hairs!!!! Blecchhh !! Just tell me & don't hurt my eyes!

It doesn't bother me, it's real life and some people need these products. In general, people like to see how something works before spending their money on it, whether it's sanding down the dry skin on someone's heel or doing makeup application. The on-air demo's have probably played a big part in some of these items becoming top sellers. It's a good thing you're in control of what you allow your eyes see and you can always fast forward your recording, walk away, or change the channel.

They don't bother me either as they do give viewers a good idea of how they work and what to expect once they try them. It's all a part of everyday life and neither of these are offense to me. And what is wrong with before and after of tooth whiteners? They show them all the time in commercials.

Just keep on fast forwarding

It's purely subjective with me. Certain visuals just gross me out like seeing neighbors dogs poop then owner picking it up. There's a long list but I just thought the on-air demos were excessively drawn out & close up. I'll have QVC on in background then look at screen shot of close up foot callouses (often while I'm eating!!! ) & lose my appetite. Must be my DNA!!

How do you conceal your falling skin bits? If it works for my appetite control, I'll plan to watch a show or two.

Yuk

and it is not good to keep using the product that long on the skin in the same place must be very sensitive after the demo

I have one and think it's great. Understand the reason for the live demo but there could be a nice way

Doesn't bother me as that's the best way to show how good it is. I wouldn't have bought the Emjoi had I not seen the great demo on how it really does work. It would be an ineffective presentation without it.

If it turns your stomach no one is making you watch. I wouldn't want someone just telling me these things work as it would not be believable without showing it. How do you keep your feet looking good or your armpits free of hair if removing dead skin and callouses, removing armpit hair or chin hairs if it's so disgusting? You can't ignore these things. Seeing horrible looking heels and feet, armpit hair or chin hair on anyone out in public is way more gross!!

So many things seem to gross OP out - makes me wonder how she gets through life.

The first time I saw this on TV it made me kind of nauseated and yes I think it is beyond gross!!!

I thought it was just me! I do change channels when they're sanding their feet. However, Emjoi is a great tool.

OMGosh! It's not open heart surgery! It's just dry flakes of skin! lol...

The thing that grosses me out is the fact that if the hosts are going to do it on themselves, please also Purell your hands in front of us before you go off for your next presentation when you're handshaking or touching the next vendor. Who wants to touch hands of someone who you've just seen messing with their feet??

Re: Too Graphic

ellietoo — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:23:56 GMT

It does bother me. I don't want to see a close up of someone's cruddy feet and flakes falling off them. It's usually not the demo that is the worst, it is the close up of the "before" picture of a disgusting foot! I have seen it on other channels for other foot products as well.

Please! Spare us the close up photos of people with layers of dead disgusting skin on their feet! I can't grab the remote control quick enough!

I can look, no problem. But I do think that the pmd demos are a bit too casual when you consider the possible affects on different skin types. I woke up with road rash on my face the next day! you really can not make more than 1 pass over the same area but you wouldn't know that watching the presentation

That one doesn't bother me.

The PMD device does. Their skin looks so irritated after.

LOL! If you really want to see GROSS just go shopping at WalMart and see who shops there and how they look and dress. Really quite humorous and entertaining~ It is 100 times more disgusting than any dry skin on foot demo on QVC.

this doesn't gross me out but josie fingering the whipped body butter does. i don't know why but it skeeves me out.

I wonder why you are watching? I can't imagine sitting there and watching someone chisel the dead tissue off their feet on TV. I don't worry so much about the gross-out factor; it's just something I can't imagine spending my time watching. If I want this sort of grooming aid, I'd probably order something from an online vendor or pick it up at a local store. I'm not going to watch it on TV for an hour and then pay a steep S&H fee to have it delivered.

Good lord some of you woman really do need a fainting couch. No it does not bother me. Perhaps I am not paying as much attention to the demos as some of you obviously have.

On a bright note. I have this little machine and I love it.
