Leah from Austin, Texas submitted the following question:
Q: Is there any cream that you sell that takes off all dead skin? I assume nail salons use something like that on the customer's feet. Do you sell anything along those lines?

Hi Leah,
We carry a variety of items that help to remove dead skin cells and promote heathy hydrated skin. Unfortunatly, there is not a single product that will do it all. Below are suggestions for different areas of the body.
Feet: I recommend using the Be Natural 'Callus Eliminator' and angled pumice sponge. This product is very strong and does require you to wear gloves to protect your hands. It's very effective at removing dead skin cells. The angled pumice sponge aids in dead skin removal once you've applied the eliminator. For aftercare, I suggest using Kneipp's 'Healthy Feet Foot Balm'. This product does it all! It effectively restores hydration, deodorizes, and protects feet from cracking and blistering.
Hands: I suggest Heidi's 'Tropical Body Scrub' and the 'Almond Hydrating Lotion' by CND. The scrub will exfoliate dry skin cells while it moisturizes and soothes skin with botanicals. The Almond Hydrating Lotion is a great aftercare product for the hands because it's moisturizing without being greasy.
Body: As mentioned above, I recommend Heidi's 'Tropical Body Scrub' and the 'Body Hydrating Cream' by Dermalogica. This hydrating cream is an amazing moistuizer for the body. It contains hydroxy acids from sugar cane and apple, as well as lactic acid. This combination helps to promote cell turnover and renewal rates. This will keep dead skin cells to a minimum and help skin stay smooth.
Face: I highly recommend the 'Pumpkin Glycolic Mask' from the Holy Mud Company and the 'Hydra B-5 Serum' from Cellex-C. The Pumplin glycolic mask should become part of a weekly regeime and used 1-3 times per week. This is a light chemical exfoliant with 5% glycolic acid, it will eat up all dead skin cells on the face and neck revealing fresh new skin. The Cellex-C 'Hydra-B5' serum helps restore hydration to the skin. It can be used everyday and night underneath your favorite moisturizer. This product contains Hyaluronic Acid which can hold 1000 times its weight in water!
Exfoliating regularly and replenishing lost moisture helps skin to combat the the ocassional dry spell. I hope this helps to answer your question, if not please feel free to contact me at (512) 733-8333. I would be more than happy to help you with any other questions you may have.
