Miracle Whip Facial

I have found a couple references lately to a Miracle Whip facial – yes, the Miracle Whip salad dressing by Kraft. The vinegar in the dressing will exfoliate your skin, while the mayonnaise part of the concoction will moisturize! Apply a medium coating of Miracle Whip to your face and walk around, or go outside, so the fumes from the vinegar won’t knock you out (they are pretty strong!). Leave it on your face for 10-20 minutes, the Miracle Whip will “melt” into your skin. When time is up, give your face a good rub with your fingertips or a dry towel to help loosen the dead skin, then rinse off. After you rinse, you can expect smoother, firmer skin! You can also use this on feet and elbows as well.
[Edit: I am doing and documenting the Miracle Whip facial in the comments, so be sure and see how it's going, or how it went!]
I gave it a try- and yes, the smell does sting your eyes. But after about 20 min. I used a dry washcloth to start scrubbing-and beads of dead skin(?) came off. Then I washed my face. My skin was baby soft, smooth and tight.
It’s worth the $4.00 for the jar. Mix up vinegar and mayo if you don’t have the MW.
On a diff. note, I tried a pepto bismol facial- let it dry on your skin and then wash off..another great skin tightener-really.
Prob what our great grandmas used.
