Relax-a-line

[Ken]

I am considering using Relax-a-line for crows feet etc. Since this produce relaxes the face - can this in turn harm the skin resulting in a more aged look later? Any experience or comments appreciated. thanks!

I recently applied Capsaicin to see if my face would absorb and respond to treatment. I did not feel any tingling or burning sensation. I am 45 and have beautiful skin - just med. and fine wrinkles that I hate. What must I do to improve my face to absorb active ingredients? Will a table sugar scrub be stong enough in this case? Now that there are remedys out there, is there still hope that my face can absorb them to get their benefits?

Try using a table sugar scrub after a bath or shower then and apply products (or Capsaicin as a test) while the skin is still a bit wet. That might suffice. If that is not enough an exfoliating mask may be used instead of sugar scrub (but not too frequently)
