I find it astonishing that you would undermine the professionalism of Aestheticians everywhere. I am disappointed in this article.

The skin guru knows absolutely nothing about professional facials and/or the products (that can only be used by professionals) that are now available for professional estheticians that do miracles for the skin. She should not be called the skin guru--she should be called the skin "know nothing". By the way, believe me when I tell you that a scrub cannot do the work that a professional microdermabrasion machine can do. Go back to your day job.

I am so dissapointed in this article. It is so obvious the so called Skin Guru has not had a professional facial by an excellent esthetician.

I suppose if I was getting kick backs from the over the counter beauty product market, I would advise people to ruin their skin. Keep up the great work. Professional Aestheticians love fixing what you mess up!!!! Recommend away, We are here to correct the problems that people do to themselves when they "try it" at home.

I for one agree with Dr. Baumann on most of what she says in this article. I have been very disappointed by every professional facial and microdermabrasion treatment I've every had. Every single time my skin has looked substantially worse for a week or two after the treatment, then no different to before. At-home microdremabrasion creams have worked much better, and the results I've had from salicylic and lactic acid peels at my derms office have been outstanding. Good work Dr. Baumann, and don't take the negative comments by the "professionals" to heart - they are showing their professionalism in their comments.

Jeez, I wonder who knows more about skin, the chief of the Division of Cosmetic Dermatology and a professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine or an esthetician???

Thank you Dr. Baumann for your excellent and professional advice. I, for one, have very sensitive skin, and would not want to do more damage to my already sensitive skin; you have confirmed for me what I have been suspcious of all along about professional microdermabrasion. When I have gotten a facial, I have told my esthetician about my skin, and she is very good about only using products for sensitive skin. I think if any esthetician is worth his or her salt, they would be sure to ask their clients about their skin and its issues before trying to get them to use something they don't need or that could be damaging to their skin.
