Exfoliation
So, here's my 'lil bit of advice to all white people everywhere. Never under any circumstances... I repeat NEVER are you to use any type of facial cleanser/scrub that boasts its ability to exfoliate, "refresh" or "Envigorate" your skin when you are peeling from a sunburn/tan. They should use adjectives like "remove" or "aggitate"....... Oh They'll help you shed the upper dead layer of epidermus... but they do a fatastic job of removing 2-3 other layers of skin too... I knew I was in trouble when I first put the gritty solvent paste to my face. Instantly I felt like all the menthol on the planet was being forced into every poor in my tight, scorched face... I felt the little abrasive particulate tearing into my face. I tried to rinse it off, but there was no relief.... To my horror I looked in my hands & saw my golden tan gathering in my palms as bits of dead flesh... My face tingled & burned... After gently towelling off, I looked in the mirror... I was no longer tan & healthy looking... Instead I looked like I survived a nuclear blast.... Yes, I looked like a vitcim of a chemical peel gone bad... I was as red as an apple..... To make matters worse, the security lady at the airport commented, saying "ohh, that looks like it hurts"... Yeah lady, it f*cking does!! People kept staring at me in the airport... So please, remember what I say... Never use a facial exfoliant after a week in the sun!

Exfoliants are over-rated...you should save a couple pennies and try sandpaper, 20 grit perhaps??? It's not easy being beautiful ;)
