Review: L'Oreal ReFinish Chest, Arms & Hands Micro-Dermabrasion Kit

We all know by looking at Madonna, SJP, and loads of others that you can botox, tighten and lift all you want, but your hands will give away your true age.  I think that while a lot of women are good about moisturizing, they don't think about anti-aging for hands.  A major tool in the anti-aging aresenal is exfoliation.  I use at-home micro-dermabrasion products on my face, so why not on my hands.  The skin on hands is thicker, and has a different texture than facial skin, so it stands to reason that facial dermabrasion products won't be "tough" enough for hands. 

The L'Oreal ReFinish Chest, Arms & Hands Micro-Dermabrasion Kit is designed (as the title implies) is great for exfoliating hands.  The kit comes with 2 products, an aluminum oxide crystal exfoliant and a post-treatment moisturizer.  The exfoliator is applied to clean, damp hands and massaged on for 1-2 minutes.  Immediately after rinsing, you will notice a difference in the texture of your hands, and over time it's supposed to reduce the appearance of sun-spots and discoloration over time.  Follow up with the post-treatment moisurizer, which is labeled as being good for stretch marks, but I've only used it on my hands.  It seems to me to be just a regular moisturizer.  The kit should be used 2-3 times a week, and to be honest I don't remember to use it that often.  But I'll keep it next to my kitchen sink to serve as a reminder to use it more often.  After all, I'm not looking to get a "hand-lift" anytime soon.
