not directly related to the subject but reading here kept reminding me of something i was told by a gentleman who owned a health food store. he said his mother had a beautiful complexion into her senior yrs. she would take the stiffest brush and brush her face and neck [i guess to exfoliate and stimulate], then she'd coat her face and neck with liquid aminos for some period of time.

i have absolutely no idea if her skin absorbed any of this but sometimes, i'll take into the bath some freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar to cleanse my face and neck and arms and afterwards, sometimes, coat with a liquid amino acid product for 10-15 minutes. no idea, whatsoever, if it helps but his story always fascinated me.

i also, read that aloe vera has a profound effect on fibroblast cells to produce collagen and elastin. i drink aloe vera juice, too, just to cover that base, if drinking it makes a difference. i'm really fascinated by the concept of the derma roller.

since this is my first post, i might mention, i've been massaging my breasts for about a year and know that it has made a difference. i also mix my own nutritional drink every morning. i haven't tried massaging fso, yet. but lately, too, i've been doing a bit of massage over my hips and butt. my butt stores a lot of fat but my hips need more tissue and fat. anyway, sorry, didn't mean to get off track, too much. i'm so happy to be here. solomé

Sounds like skin brushing. Which is basically stimulating the lymphatic system to flush. I've never heard of anyone doing it on just the face. Usually you start at your ankles and move up toward the heart.

What's liquid amino acid. Never heard of that one. Lemon juice will lighten and exfoliate the skin. I'm sure it never hurts to try new things, especially when we can get them from our kitchen all natural. Thanks for your info.
I will have to look up about the aloe.
