nail polish remover.... OMG....

 

[bnjj]

OMG that is frightening.

I can't understand how anyone could mistake NPR for something else. As soon as I open the bottle I am hit with its extreme odour.

I would think that it would definately be way too strong and dry your skin out, stinky too!

Actually, my dermatologist used to use acetone to prep my skin for glycolic peels. I would wash my face w/ Cetaphil, then the nurse would swipe a cotton pad over my face with acetone on it to get rid of any remaining dirt, then they would apply the glycolic peel. I asked what it was once because it smelled like nail polish remover.

That's insaine! Hell, I'd rather rubbing alcohol be used instead of acetone!

This sounds just crazy, I would never even consider it, haha

I'm willing to try almost anything to get my skin clear...but not this.

My brother used to work at a BIG boat manufacturing plant. They used vats of acetone to clean some of the tools used to shape and apply fiberglass. There was a huge spill and, to make a long story short, my brother has permanent liver damage and has to have a procedure similar to dialysis performed at least monthly, probably for the rest of his life. He was in his early 30's when it happened.
Be careful out there, ladies, please.

^Now THAT is scary. Just thinking of using nail polish remover on my face was scary enough, but that is horrifying. Sorry that happened to your brother, Mitzy...I hope the treatments aren't too rough on him.

That's crazy, has she heard of toner?? That'll get the dirt off.

 

[Glitzerland]

That is so crazy, I will never ever consider to do that! Her face must be very dirty if she needs nail polish remover to get it clean!

 

[elynnin]

I couldnt believe it when she told me, Some toners sting my face, Can you imagine the burn from nail polish remover!!!! Ouchie!

I didnt ask her, but at what point to you think to yourself, " I know, Lets see if this wil remove the oil from my skin"???

I rememer ages ago the presented on a local radio station accidentally took a swig of polish remover in the night as it was on her nightstand next to a bottle of water. She could barely talk her throat was so rough.

Oh my god, poor girl!!

Gosh did he get medical support from that plant?! That's terrible.

 

[Mitzy]

He did, actually. Thanks for asking. His medical bills are covered for life and he is actually doing fairly well.
