Why dermabrasion may be dangerous.

When I first heard about dermabrasion, I recalled that there have been many dangerous products on the market that use aluminum as a filler.

Some of these aluminum particles are found in processed cheese and the following product types:

* antacids
* astringents
* buffered aspirin
* food additives
* antiperspirants
* cosmetics

Furthermore, these tiny aluminum particles used in microabrasion or when ingested could conceivably enter the skin and find their way to the brain. It is known that aluminum in the brain causes dementia and other mental problems. Because it is a metal, it short circuits the nerve transmissions between cells. Thus you don’t function mentally as well as you did before being exposed.

Fortunately I have not seen any Nu Skin products that use aluminum particles for removing cells from the skin.
