Facial tampons remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause acne.
A face shield is a personal care tool that can be used to exfoliate skin or remove facial hair. In some cases, a facial exfoliating pad is simply a sponge or cloth with an abrasive surface, while in other cases it may be a mechanical device equipped with a rotating brush or vibrating abrasive pad to stimulate deeper exfoliation. A facial hair removal patch removes facial hair, but it does not remove it from the follicle. Both types of cushions are available for use on the face and the rest of the body.
Facial towels are a type of facial tampon.
Many people find that the appearance of their skin improves with regular exfoliation. This is because dead skin cells can cloud the skin’s surface. Additionally, dead skin cells can also clog your pores, which can contribute to acne. Using a facial exfoliating tampon is one way to remove these cells, although consumers also have the option of using a chemical exfoliant such as a lotion or cream that contains alpha or beta hydroxy acids. In their simplest form, facial pads are simply sponges, pads, or wipes that can abrasively clean the skin. Functioning similarly to their facial counterparts, body protectors can be constructed of more abrasive materials, as the skin on the body is typically less sensitive than the skin on the face.
Face shields can be used to temporarily remove facial hair. These buffers typically use very fine sticky sandpaper attached to a finger tool and then rubbed into areas of the face where the user has facial hair. The buffer does not pull on the hair like wax or tweezers, but the friction causes the hair to disintegrate. While this process is usually less painful than waxing or tweezing, hair growth occurs quickly, so the process will need to be repeated frequently.
Consumers can find face and body shields in supermarkets, pharmacies, and specialty beauty supply stores. In general, it is important that those who use these products exercise caution, as improper use of mechanical or non-mechanical exfoliating devices can irritate the skin. People who find that using a facial tampon causes redness, burning, or swelling should stop using the product immediately and see a doctor if the discomfort or irritation does not improve. These people can also ask their doctor for advice on safer and more gentle hair removal or skin exfoliation.
