Get a free recycled bag... It's actually a nice one!

Super Savvy Me are offering a free "bag for life", but not in the hideous supermarket style, this one actually looks like it might be usable! 

You can get it in 6 different colours (used to be 8 but 2 sold out now) including a turquoisey one, a bright green, a bottle green, blue, grey and red. 

I've chosen this "light green" and I'm hoping it won't be *quite* that bright ;) but we'll see! 

There are "only" 120,000 of these so you need to get entering details asap!

Avon's Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System

I got this in my last (rather large!) Avon order as a free gift for spending over £25. It normally retails on the site for something like £15 (the site seems to be misbehaving right now so I can't check for you!) so it was a pretty good product to get for free. 

Avon say that this is the first at-home micro-dermabrasion to offer multiple-strength polishing in one revolutionary packaging.

It works quite simply, there are two different products with different sizes of.. urm, scrubby bits (micro-crystals!) in, the white side has much smaller bits in, whilst the grey side has chunkier bits in. You use it a couple of times a week for 8 weeks, and every 2 weeks you change the ratio of the product, so for the first 2 weeks you just use the product from the white side by selecting "1" on the click round top for weeks 3-4 you select "2" and you get mostly product from the white side, with a little bit from the grey side, weeks 4-6 you get slightly more from the grey side than the white side and weeks 6-8 you just get product from the grey side. 

Avon say that for each level the dermabrasion kit offers different benefits:

Level 1 -it visibly improves skin texture by smoothing rough, flaky skin and unclogging pores.

Level 2 -dullness diminishes as fine lines begin to disappear. Skin appears renewed and refined.

Level 3-pores begin to shrink and become less noticeable. Dramatically evens out skin tone to reveal a younger, glowing complexion.

Level 4- dark spots, discolouration and excessive pigmentation fade as deep wrinkles are reduced.

Whilst I'm not an age where I'm worrying about fine lines and wrinkles ;) I do experience flaky patches of skin on my face, general dullness, and uneven skin tone so I'm hoping to see some benefits from this! 

I will of course be updating you either at the end of the 8 weeks or half way through, I'm not sure yet!

Have you tried dermabrasion? What did you think?
