Microdermabrasion is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream. So what exactly is microdermabrasion and what does it promise? Do you need a doctor or is it something you can do yourself?

 

As an alternative to a dermatologist’s office or with an expensive in-spa professional treatment, there are microdermabrasion creams and scrubs that you can apply at home. These contain the same crystals you'd find in professional treatment, but many cut out the use of the specialized tool.  You use your hands to rub the products into your face, neck or arms, pushing the crystals against your skin so that they grab and remove the dead cells of the outer lay of your skin. The benefit is replacing lost skin cells with new and healthy ones.

 

When looking for a Microdermabrasion Home System you’ll want to find a system that includes both a Refiner and Replenisher to get the maximum benefits:

 

Step 1, Refine: Contains aluminum oxide crystals – the same professional-grade, highly refined aluminum oxide crystals that dermatologists use. These crystals are super exfoliates that gently buff away rough, dull, lifeless skin cells that naturally accumulate on the surface of your skin.

 

Step 2, Replenish: A serum that nourishes the newly revealed healthier younger-looking skin with vitamins, antioxidants and an anti-irritant. It soothes, smoothes and softens the skin.

 

With a Microdermabrasion Home System you'll receive instant results: Fight fine lines, refine pores and achieve beautifully smooth skin – immediately – with a simple, two-step set.

 

It is a great “at home” alternative for busy women who want to say time and money.
