I suggest the pads to clients whose skin looks dull and uneven and who want a little more exfoliation at home between facials. I start them at one or two evenings a week, never more than three, and remind them their skin is more sensitive to the sun while they use it, so sunscreen is not optional. If they feel any stinging, we space the pads further apart.
