Just a question about the skin scrubber...does anyone know if this would be suitable for a teenager? My 13 year old has badly congested skin but not what I would call acne. Clogged pores, blackheads etc. He has a clarisonic and we have tried every topical thing under the sun to clear his skin. It is not sensitive at all, very resilient skin.... |
I haven't tried the device yet but I have pretty thick tough skin and over the years of squeezing blackheads my pores seem stretched out and scared even. This machine looks like it does the same job of cleaning out pores in a more gentle fashion and hopefully would leave the skin undamaged.
They are not so very expensive to try out from ebay which is why I thought I would give it a go. I am sure some salons offer it as a treatment if you wanted to let him try it there first. |

As long as when he uses a Clarisonic, that he uses the gentliest tip to start and not press too hard on the skin... Use a foaming gel (or cream) with the Clarisonic..... Good luck!

The OP stated that she has tried OCM.
Galvanic disincrustation is AMAZING! I have suffered for years with the deep clogging and congestion that seems cystic (but is not) because it never comes to a head. When I agitate them enough a big oil plug will come out. I have tried harsh glycolic and salicylic products, peels, B.peroxide, antibiotic topicals, everything!
Disincrustation should be performed prior to extractions then you have to reverse the polarity of the machine (eg - active elctrode changed to +) to restore the acid mantle of your skin. Very important step!
Once you have tried disincrustation your oil plugs liquify and literally just ooze out of the skin it was like nothing I had experienced before. Within 2 days all my congestion had just dissolved.
Highly recommended! |
Hi teago, can I ask the name/brand of the machine that you use? Thanks |

My (adult) daughter has just recovered from seriously congested skin/moderate acne - mainly on the forehead, but also on cheeks and chin.
This is what's worked for her:
Antibiotics (she's still on them)
Acupuncture (for hormonal imbalance and blood type)
A nutrition overhall (cutting out gluten, reducing sugar, and eating more iron)
Supplements and Probiotics
Meditation (to reduce stress and ensure a good night's sleep)
Being Outdoors (she believes that fresh air has been one of the most important keys)
Exercise (45 minutes a day)
So, it's been a combination of conventional and holistic approach and NO products (except occasionally Sudocrem).
Her skin has almost completely healed in just two months. It's been amazing! |
