the cool thing is the base that it sits in has holes to collect water. and the part that's sitting int he base, that's where the dial is, you can have it on low or high. the top is where pads are velcroed to.
on the left is the container of pads that come with the thingy, so you can see they give you quite a few. a box of refill pads which had quite a bit was around $5. so then they have several facial scrubs and washes to choose from. i picked the following two:
you can see one i got was a name brand and the other one is cvs. this is the first time i've tried any cvs product. considerably cheaper for sure. so what you do is velcro your pad on, wet your face a little, wet your pad, squirt your favorite product on the pad and then on low or high go to town on your face.
couple things. first, the morning burst skin brightening scrub, LOVE it. i would pay $10 for that. it was only $5 hehe. it wakes you up, smells great and with the exfoliation from the thingy my skin does look bright afterwards. in fact, i'd say it looks great and i look less tired after using it.
the blackhead scrub, totally like it. it's more harsh as in lots of beads to really get those blackheads so i'm using this at night, and only about twice a week. definitely like the product and will buy it again.
so now let's talk about the thingy. go buy one now!! you will love and adore it the way i do, i'm sure of it :) i've paid a lot of money over the years for facials and this was just like that for me. my face is so soft and smooth after using it. i follow up with my toner and moisturizer like i always have but this lil device does make a huge difference in how my face and neck look and feel. when i go back to buy more pads i'm going to have some fun with their scrubs because they have so many to choose from. i might even start using a mask again. so in the end for under $20 i feel like i got 3 amazing new products that i will heart for a long time. this is perfect for birthday or bridal shower gifts too :)
