""Okay JR. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to use what's called a rotary brush..." "Okay." "...on your skin." "OKay." "There are just brushes that go over the skin..." "Okay." "...and it helps the peel or the enzyme to work a little bit better." "Now, I've seen brushes like that that you can buy at home when you're, kind of doing a little mini facial at home to keep up." "You actually can. It's interesting that these date back to, probably the fifties, and I think women use to do them a lot more. Women and men use to do them a lot more than they do now. I think now they really just save it for the professional treatment. Okay." "And you said this is for men and women." "Men and women, yes. Because it's all, skin is skin. Skin has no sex, so whether your a man or a woman, it still feels good. It still needs to be cleansed, it needs to be exfoliated, and it needs to be pampered. We have a lot of men who come in and get treatments. A lot of times their wives or girlfriends will buy them gift certificates. And, after they come in for their first facial, they're sold, and they always come back." "I always think of, remember when you were in high school, and the janitor came and he was sweeping the floors with the big floor machine?" "Uh huh." "That's what this reminds me of." "It is like that." "Yeah." "It is. The big brush that's cleaning the floor. We'll it sort of has the same principle. But, this time instead of cleaning the floor, it's cleaning your skin. So, it's going to also help to exfoliate the skin a little bit." "Okay." "Because if you notice how the brushes feel when they're on there. You see how nice that..." "Now this is the smaller brush." "This is a smaller one. I'm actually using a smaller one for these more intricate areas." "Okay." "Okay. And, right around the eye...alright." "So, at home, to upkeep this until they can make it back to you, would like a little toothbrush, like a little baby toothbrush or something do that?" "I don't recommend using a toothbrush on your skin. You have to be careful with the bristles. You notice how these bristles are nice and soft?" "Yes." "Yeah, you don't want anything that's going to be too coarse or too harsh on the skin. And that also goes for cleansing. A lot of people think that you need buff puffs to cleans your skin with, where I feel that it's a little too abrasive." "Okay." "You don't want anything that's going to be too abrasive on your skin. If you're going to be using something that's abrasive, make it a scrub of some sort, an exfoliant. But when washing and cleansing, doing a deep cleanse on your face, use either a very soft bristle brush or your fingers." "Okay." "And there are brushes that you can purchase which are hand held. They're not mechanical, and you can actually just brush your skin. But make sure, again, that it's a very soft bristle. Okay? See how nice that feels?" "Very nice.""
