Well, I didn’t think that I would be writing this if I am honest. I just didn’t think that it would work. It didn’t really seem possible. The Dermaflannel is a small white flannel that due to its unique weave acts as an exfoliating cloth. Just simply wet it each day and slowly rub it in circles around your face, wash it with soap gently and it’s a reusable chemical peel that you can use morning and night. It can also be used on the body.
I first looked into it as an alternative to chemical peels during pregnancy but for anyone who cannot have one or who doesn’t want to spend chemical peel money, this simple little white cloth is a revelation and it really works. My skin became clearer and smoother and two months in I am still using at least once a day when I really thought, if the truth be known, that it would have been relegated to the cupboard.
Give it a go, it’s great value, easy to use and more importantly, it does what it says on the tin! Continue Reading

So listen up! Continue Reading
