Just an update

So, no worries, I'm still using the Baiden Mitten!  I'm probably going to do a post once or twice a week but they probably won't be pictures of my progress.  I'm going to start doing that once a month now!  I think it would get boring seeing the same pictures of my body parts every time! LOL!

Anyways, everything else is going great though!  I even have a theory about my KP and it "disappearing."  Well, I think when I use the mitten it does seem to irritate the KP.  The bumps aren't there but the dots come in full force.  They start diminishing though right away.  I can definitely tell the difference.  I think exfoliating really is helping my skin regenerate faster than it normally would!  After the second day, it seems like there's almost nothing there at all!  I'm going to try it a few more times before I come to this conclusion, but I think it's well worth it!  If it does seem true then I may extend actually exfoliating my legs to once every other week.

I also wanted to mention though how amazed I am right now at how many entries this giveaway has received!  As of this moment there is almost 2900 entries!  Of course that doesn't mean that amount of people entered but that's still an impressive number for one week into it!  Especially for someone like me who no one really knew!  I owe a lot of it to Sorelle though from Pin Up Passion.  She's really helped me out!

On that note, I would like to just clarify some things on the contest, though.  There are two mandatory tasks: Liking the Baiden Mitten- Expect Miracles Fanpage on Facebook AND commenting on any of the posts in this blog.  If I draw your name and find that you haven't done them both, I'm sorry but I'll have to disqualify you from the contest.  It just wouldn't be fair to all the other people that put the time in to do it.

Let's go to a brighter side of the road though, shall we?  Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday.  She's going to be 7 years old!  I'm thinking of being pretty generous and letting go of one of those Baiden Mittens earlier than anticipated!  I figure to celebrate not only my lovely daughter, I might celebrate all the entries that we've gotten so far!  Well, what do you guys think?!

Also, as always.  Have a question?  Post it!  If I don't know the answer then I'll look for it for you!  No biggie! :)

They told me to expect miracles..

I bet almost everyone reading this right now has had some sort of skin issue.. too oily, too dry, too bumpy, acne, stretch marks, loose skin, and the list goes on.  We have to shop and shop to find different products to purchase to help with each and every single one of these ailments separately  or maybe one may help with one ailment and make another worse.  Then, specially as women, we feel that we need to hide our skin problems from the world!  I know there are some guys that can definitely feel the same way.

There is a product that promises to give you beautiful skin in ONE MONTH.  It addresses all that I mention, and states immediate results.  It is called the Baiden Mitten.  I found this little treasure roaming around on PinupPassions.com.  I was curious about different makeup and hair techniques that were used in the 50's and 60's.  I came across the skin portion of their site.  Surely they would recommend creams to help with my  Keratosis Pilaris, better known as Chicken Skin.  Little red bumps that kind of look like acne in areas like my arms and legs.  I also have dry, in some areas, loose skin along with stretch marks, or mommy marks.  I've also noticed how my skin lacks in luster like it use to due to my medication.

Well, I FINALLY was able to order my Baiden Mitten last week and it came in yesterday!  My hubby said I could have one for Mother's Day.  Trust me, I'm not the flowers, candy, and jewelry type of gal, so this was a perfect gift for me!  So, now you guys get to follow me on my Baiden Mitten adventure for AT LEAST a month to see what I think about it, how it is helping me, and decide for yourself it if is right for you.

Now, I did get to try it for the first time yesterday when it came in the mail.  I couldn't wait! I had to try it!  I haven't been this excited since I got my sewing machine!

Now, when you use this you have to soak in a tub for about 10-15 minutes.  The water has to be as hot as you can stand it.  It is important to keep in mind the more you are sweating the better the product will work. I sat in that tub, nothing in it, meaning no bubble bath, bath salts, or any other type of additive for a bath tub. Just nice clean water!  It was kind of nice to have that 15 minutes in the tub!  After I stood up and soaked my Baiden Mitten in the tub and squeezed out the access water.  I began on my left arm.  All of my dead skin began to roll up on my arm!  Ugh I was disgusted!  All that dead skin was still on me?!  My scrubby wasn't getting all of that off?!  How gross!  But as gross as I thought it was, I was also impressed!  Something that felt a little smoother than hard core sand paper not only treated my skin delicately but also got all the dead skin off of my arm and exfoliated it wonderfully.  Now there were some areas that I didn't get as much dead skin off of me or even any at all, but what I did get was amazing and shocking.

Now I know that you just reading my blog is not going to make you a believer about this, and I really don't expect it to.  I will tell you though I do have pictures for proof of what I will tell you.  Unfortunately I can't find the cord to the camera to upload them!  I will be sure to look for that tomorrow so you guys can judge for yourselves.

On to what I noticed it did!  I had to wait for my body to turn back to its original color.  I was pretty pink from the scrubbing and that hot bath!  I waited about 6 hours to really notice the results.  First thing I noticed is how smooth my face was.  That is the smoothest my skin has EVER been in such a long time.  I checked my legs where my KP (Keratosis Pilaris) is most prominent.  The bumps were still there, BUT they were much smaller than before I used my mitten!  I rubbed my arms, again, very smooth, indeed!  I still had a few bumps but it's much less than it was before.  The black heads around my nose reduced as well.  Awesome!  I also have those lovely mommy marks!  I looked at them and I would have to say they do look less prominent than they did before.  Unfortunately, I'm not going to swear to that.  When I took my before pictures I wore pants which are probably too tight, so you can be the judge, and I guess that could go for the tightening of my belly as well.  Next Tuesday I will be sure to wear comfy clothing so I don't have to worry about that!  Sorry guys, I am going to be honest about what I really think about this product!  If I do something I feel that may have gave the product a leg up so to speak I will let you know!

So, that is my results so far.  That is only after one try.  Did I also mention that you only use this mitten once a week when you first start using it?  So after four uses I should have that lovely lustrous skin I had back when I was 16!  Or I hope so anyways! ;)

I will try to post my before and after pictures tomorrow and will keep up with it after that, so every Tuesday you can expect another post with bunches of before and after pictures to view!
