I'm a huge fan of EM - I use it under my eyes and around the orbital bone, on my lips and around my mouth, and on any irritated/dry skin. I also apply it throughout the day (on top of my make-up) if my skin feels dry. It's wonderful on plane trips.
You only need a bare amount though, I just very lightly run my finger over the EM and apply a tiny amount.
I looked up Bees Wax on the net and it's supposed to be a very beneficial ingredient for the skin. |

For me...I love Cure and Egyptian Magic together. For EM I think it's best to put it in your hands, rub together until it's heated and becomes an oil. That's how the girl in the store taught me to use it. It helps to activate it before applying she said.
I've had fantastic results by using Cure first then EM on my hands and neck in particular. as those areas I neglected for some time in the past....but it's never too late! |

So far, I'm using Egyptian Magic on my hands..used it on my face last night and this morning. I've been real busy and can't come to any conclusion right now. It did make my hands look much younger right away.
If I fall in love with it ..or hate it..I'll post back. |

Also..I purchased Egyptian Magic yesterday..it does transform the skin into dewy youthfulness. I'm going to put some in a small jar to use throughout the day. I'll report back ..but initially..it seems pretty great. |

I bought the Egyptian Magic at Whole Foods about a mionth ago and have been using it on my hands off and on. I'm not too impressed with this stuff. I love the Cure though! |
I changed my mind about the Egyptian Magic. I have been using it all week on my hands at night and today I realized that my hands look really good and my nails look great. I'm especially impressed with that. I think this is something I would only use at night though. Too greasy for during the day. |

I will agree. I've been using Egyptian Magic for a few weeks now. I know some say it is greasy..and all of that. But.. I have found the most unglamorous products I have work the best. My generic retin A..my smurf blue copper peptides..and my greasy Egyptian magic...and even the Cure is pretty base. But all of them..have transformed my skin..reversed wrinkling ..Aging.. Just tonight.. I looked down at my hands..they look ten years younger than they did five years ago.. really maybe even more than that....I can't remember when they looked this good.
I wanted to wait longer before i gave my review on Egyptian Magic..but I have to say..I'm sold. |

I bought a bottle on amazon when they had the one day $33 sale, and it arrived today. I've been looking forward to trying it on my body as well as my face. Tonight I did my forearms and was very pleased with the exfoliation! Clearly there is more to do there, too.
My feet were not as successful, not sure why that would be. They do feel good afterwards, just did not see a lot of skin leave. |

I had the same results...minimal exfoliation on my feet. I wonder if it has to do with the thickness of the skin? Check out the microplane xl foot file....cheap and better results for your feet. |

If you want to exfoliate your feet a good product to use is Philosophy Soul Owner foot cream. It's only about $14. Put it on your feet for a few nights before you go to bed then the dead skin will just roll of your heels in the shower if you rub it with your hands or you can use a pumice or foot brush. It makes your feet really soft too. I wouldn't put socks on over the cream it's pretty powerful stuff and I got a burn on one of my toes when I put socks on over the cream one time. It works great without the socks anyway. |

| I used Soul owner about 15 years ago and burned myself. Its been so long I have lost track of whether I just did it wrong. I have been using a Ped Egg..it works, but I hoped the Cure would give my feet the same feeling it does my face. Online it looks like people use Cure on the tops of their feet. |

Just wondering, how safe is this after doing some extractions?... I mean, my skin is obviously red where I removed the sebuum plugs and such... should I wait for it to fully heal before trying the Cure?...
TIA |

I would wait until it is healed, and in the future use this before the extractions. |

Used the Cure first time tonight. My skin was quite flaky from an application of 0.1% Retin A a couple of nights ago so I was interested to see if the Cure actually removed the flaking skin - which I tried to remove with a microfiber cloth this morning. IT DID!!!
I also noticed that it removed most "debris" from around the temples - this is also what I noticed when I used my microdermabrasion machine (which is currently broken).
Afterwards my skin looked very smooth and felt very tight. So far, I'm impressed and am glad I ordered this. |

| Keliu, I have been waiting for your review! It is definitely an odd product, but one that does work. |

What impressed me was that the "debris" which the Cure removed was from the same area of the face where most of the debris comes off when I use the microdermabrasion machine. That's significant to me. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's skin that's being removed - but rather dead skin cells or just that build-up which accumulates on the skin.
It's so easy to use - IMO, it's a real winner! |

I think that is exactly what is getting removed, the dead skin cells. I am glad you like it, Keliu! |

I want to use Copper Peptides and my skin is bit sensitive, so AHA may not be good for me to slough off the dead skin.
Do you thin that Cure can do what AHA does? |

Summer,
My thought is since exfoliation is the key this defiantly does the trick!
I did only use the samples, but if I was not stocked up on another similar product I would have certainly purchased a full size!  |

Hi Darkmoon,
I used the sample of Cure few days ago. Surprisingly, it was so effective in terms of exfoliation.
Without reading the test of Bethany, I really thought that the "dead skin" would be something of the Cure, not my skin.
I'll use it when I use copper peptides. |

I know when I used the samples I got dead skin cells come off! I do have a product that works in a very similar way and it does the same rolls off all the dead cells, so I could tell that this had that same effect.
I think you will be fine with using this with your CP'S! |

For a cheap & very effective way to exfoliate your feet, search the forum for my apple cider vinegar solution.
I don't want to keep repeating myself, the regulars are getting tired of me.
BFG |

No. I used the Cure again two days later with a similar experience. However, I did rub some skin off from my temple area and actually drew blood! This is a very strange product - I can only presume that it is actually exfoliating and if you rub too hard you could over do it. |
