Dimitris Hand Demo

staceyluvsyou — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:07:49 GMT

I know Dimitri has always been a "hard sell" and I really like some of his products,however it really bothers me when hes showing a before and after of a firming product he has only used on one side of the models face.On the side with the lift product he will show how good the lift is by taking the skin and pushing it up with his fingers,on the side without product he pulls the skin downward.I have noticed this technique more than once. Now his new sales pitch is his hand,how perfect his one hand is because he demos his products on that hand.To me it looks like he had fillers in that hand.He just may be insulting his customers intelligence a little too much....

I completely agree with you about "the work" he's had done on that one hand. I mean, come on. It reminds me of many, many years ago when I watched Joan Rivers on QVC. I would marvel at how nice her hands looked for a woman of her age. I had no idea you could have fillers or such done. Later I tumbled to it, and those chubby but wrinkleless hands of hers all made sense. Ha!

Now don't get me wrong, I like Dimitri and generally enjoy watching his shows. I've been using some of his products as of late. And Mrs. Rivers, I loved watching her and have the jewelry to prove it. I have enough of her stuff to open my own QVC shopping channel!!!

I have to disagree with you ladies on this! I always put my products on my left hand to sort of emulsify them before I put them on my face. A few weeks ago I was shocked to see how much younger and better my left hand looked than my right! Made me happy to know that these products worked!

If you use your face serums and creams on your hands they will look better, but it's only temporary. Just like the skin on your face, if you stop using the products your face will wrinkle and continue to fall. That's gravity and aging.Ugh!

@BlingQueen022 When a vendor is on selling his goods as much as Dimitri is... days at a time, hours at a time and several Today's Top values sometimes in a day.... you begin to really disect what he says, and listen to his sales speech... He does say somethings that make no sense even though he touts being such a renowned skin expert and hair specialist.... I think that Dimitri has gotten a big head.. and a bit greedy. It can happen to anyone even though they start out with a good heart and a want to help others..

Of course it's only temporary....I understand that, but I'll settle for that and just keep using the products! Most everything we do in life is temporary, but that doesn't mean we stop doing it!

Let me start off by saying that I like Dimitri and most of his products. That said, I no longer believe any of his demos or before and after pics. Lipstick before and afters where if you look carefully, the dry parched lips in the before have painted or made up white groves or stripes to appear as severely dry chapped lips. Under eye products where the befores show under eye areas that have purple and red make up, or brown and yellow. Forehead lines that look to me as if painted on. That's just 3 examples. Look closely and I think you may see what I mean.

I've bought many Skinn products over the years and still use a few of them. But one thing I noticed is that he uses the same models and always does one side of their face. In all the years he's used the same models, I really have not seen any improvement in their skin tone & firmness. Shouldn't one expect to see some improvement after all this time? To me that means either the effect is temporary at best or there is no improvement at all, it's the silicones coating the skin making it look smoother. I'm still using his Dermappeal and 6X lip treatment but I've moved away from his skin care treatments as his Stem Regen eye cream was so thick it caused millia at the top of my brow bone which has never happened with any other eye cream before - although it did seem to have a bit of a lift effect - and he's now including dimethicone in many of his serums and creams which my skin cannot tolerate as it causes raised red bumps for me. So as I finish up his products, I'm looking for new brands that do not include dimethicone for one.

June222 - You don't like him yet you watch him so much that you sit there and disect his words? Don't you have anything better to do? I get the feeling that you just have a chip on your shoulder and hold grudges toward certain people and/or products, in general. You've made unkind remarks about Christie Brinkley, David Hasslehoff, Dimitri James, Lori Goldstein, Tyra Banks...and probably more. Doesn't that get exhausting?

It's not just Dimitri - they ALL do it. That's how they sell sell sell. I do believe his hand on one side is better - for years he has put the product only on one hand - it's bound to look better.

Why do we have to bash Dimitri to point out his suspect selling practices? You're not accusing him of insulting our intelligence when he does. Everyone can see how he holds his treated hand in a curve but his untreated hand in a backwards curve. When you hold both of your hands like this, they will look noticeable different too. What we're saying is, when your products work like you say they do, there's no need for the trickery.

Look again at those hand cream episodes one hand (the treated one) is held taut (or downward whatever) the other one (un-treated is held normally or upward) try it, you'll also see the difference

After hearing him claim that he's never had any work done on his face, I don't even bother listening to his presentations. I mean please, it's so obvious he has had work done and plenty of it.

It actually is not that hard to notice, over time, when someone constantly posts negative feedback, put downs, diatribes and has a generally bad attitude...those types of people show themselves for who they really are and cannot hide behind their keyboard or disguise their true self...most people who dislike something tend to avoid that thing and not continually come back with longer,more elaborate posts meant to bring hurt feelings and discourse to those who may like a vendor or product...you may be best off staying in those topics of those vendors/product lines you love/like because by all appearances, you hate Dimitri.his products and we all know it...Enough said...
