Lucifer Himself Forged this Face Scrub in the Fiery Pits of Hell

Well, I did it. I gave in to the Tiktok hype and ordered a very small tube of Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment. Lucifer, the Evening Star, the Prince of Darkness, himself forged this in the fiery pits of hell while Hades watched on manically laughing. Pretty sure what happened was when Dante and Virgil crawled up the back of Lucifer to escape hell he noticed a tube of this sitting on Lucifer’s wing, grabbed it up during his ascent, and somehow, someway, it ended up on HSN and Tiktok Shop. I’m 100% positive confirming this as truth (or I may have made it up!).

This stuff is diabolical. Pure evil. And I kind of oddly love it but trust me, don’t do this to your skin. And I think I just purchased it for the plot…!

I have literally watched people using a silicone brush to work DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment vigorously. They were scrubbing their faces like their very lives depended on it. I cannot, ahem, let me repeat myself for effect, I CANNOT believe how hard people are scrubbing with this. It’s extremely potent, extremely harsh, and using that much force to work it into your skin has to be doing major damage. MAJOR damage. I have to laugh when I see the founder saying he uses it for “decrustification”. I get it. I really do. I have dry skin! I get little flaky bits here and there so yeah, I guess I’m sort of crusty LOL!

In all seriousness, this stuff is the old school Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask but on crack. For whatever reason, we all thought Sea Breeze, Queen Helene, and St Ives Apricot Scrub were doing some kind of miracles to our face several hundred years ago. How times have changed.

So yeah, I feel like Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment is absolutely a nod to the good old days of skincare when we had absolutely no sense. This stuff takes minty fresh to some new level. It’s super minty, super cooling, and it stings a bit too. I put it on in the shower and I literally couldn’t open my eyes. They scent was making my eyes sting and tear up. It’s that strong. I never ever endorse putting mint on my skin. Have I done in the past? Sure! But I know better now but here we are…! I was curious enough to give it a go.

I’m not recommending this stuff by any means (it would be hell on sensitive skin) but guys, my skin actually does look some kind of wonderful after using it. I hate saying that because it’s the worst possible thing I can do for my skin but yeah, it does have sort of a glass skin-like effect and I don’t hate that. It’s a harsher, grainier scrub and def whisks away any and ever dry area on your skin. Surprise, surprise! I didn’t come out of the experience feeling tight either. And my skincare absorbs like a sponge after the scrub. Oh god, I do not want to be into this the way I am. I may just sneak it in once a month for a really good scrub.

    Ahhh, yes! I happen to love it, but find it’s awfully expensive these days. I truly think Dimitri James is a God in skincare. I have watched him for over 20 years, and even before that when he had a make up line called Parthena. He is well worth the watch on HSN just to see what he is wearing and then go look up how expensive a Louis Vuitton jean jacket is and you see he spends $5000 per piece, lol. But his skin care knowledge is impeccable in my book.

      I’m sort of in the same boat here. I know it’s AWFUL for my skin but I like the way it makes my skin look! This stuff is crazy harsh!

    I fell for the HSN hype about Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment several years ago during the pandemic. I bought a tube and regretted it pretty quickly. It burned my face every time I used it. The minty scent was quite intense and my eyes would water like crazy. After a few uses, I was almost positive it was causing tiny capillary veins to show on my face. That is when I said goodbye! Now I try to be more gentle with my face.

      I couldn’t open my eyes it was so bad! I’ve used it twice so far and I can’t lie I do like the results (my skin is like leather so thankfully I didn’t have an issue thus far) but this stuff is def not for the faint of heart. It’s also, not something I’d recommend using but man, I did so like the way it gave me the smoothest skin of my life lol!

    I used this back in the day before Dimitri moved to HSN he was on The Home Shopping Network. I didn’t like it, I found it was too rough on my skin. I used St Ives Apricot Scrub, like rubbing shards of glass on your face.

    I haven’t heard of this stuff or have any interest in trying it, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post.
