Re: Packing Tape and Exfoliating

@SilleeMee no I have not, but I will try it. I actually tried to use tape this am for a package and could get roll started and put it aside out of frustration.

@SilleeMee That is new to me but I am willing to try...do you use it to remove dry skin?

I once ripped my lip open using some type of tape to get rid of chapped lips.  Don't know who suggested it, someone on TV.  Of course I'll try this, I'll go for anything except derma rolling.

It's not just something I do everyday @dex. I get an occasional episode of extreme peeling, dry skin from using my new Retin-a product. It's just a quick way to get rid of some the flakes when I'm in a rush. Also, just certain small areas and not my entire face. 

 

I think some get the idea I do this on a regular basis....NO! I've done this only a few times in the last several months. Woman Happy

Re: Packing Tape and Exfoliating

I wonder if adhesive tape or the sticky part of a bandage would work just as well? They are made for skin contact.

@Caffeina,

Yes, that might work. First-aid or white-sports tape will probably work well, too.

 

I remember when I was a kid and got a bad sunburn. When it started to peel my mom took some scotch tape and and removed the peeling skin. I'll never forget that.

You know those products for "rough & bumpy" skin?

I use it on my face

It's an exfoliator.

My skin is like a baby's bum.

What is the name of it?

Band-Aids might be safer to use than packing tape.  Sure feels like they strip off skin!

Gold Bond's "Rough & Bumpy Skin Daily Therapy Cream" is one.

Your pulling and stretching your skin.

That is not a good thing.
