If you haven’t noticed, I really like skincare and I really like at home treatments to take care of my skin (check out my post here!). One of my favorite skincare devices and the one that I typically see the best results from is microdermabrasion. This is typically a procedure that is performed in a spa but they do sell some pretty nice devices to be used at home as well. You can find the one I have on my “Things I Love” page, or here on amazon! I’m sure the at home devices are not as powerful as the spa devices, but I’m not too sure since I have never been to a spa.
How I Found Microdermabrasion
My curiosity of microdermabrasion started when I was scrolling Facebook one day and saw a picture of a girl with flawless skin. She explained that she had just had a microdermabrasion facial and her skin was just glowing, radiant, and pretty much everything I wanted! So I did some research, talked to one of my friends, and she gave me all the details of what she uses. That’s how I found the microdermabrasion device I use. She also taught me how to use it correctly. I cannot stress enough how important it is to use this device correctly since you will be dragging it across your face! You do not want to do more harm than good!
With that being said, it is not a difficult tool to use. It comes with three different diamond peeling tips that exfoliate your skin. The tool then acts as a vacuum to suction off the dead skin from your face as the tips exfoliate. The device also comes with filters that block the dead skin cells from clogging it! The final thing it comes with is a chart that shows you how to move it across your face which you will definitely want to reference. Since you are dragging a vacuum like device across your face, you want to be careful on delicate skin!
How To Use It
All you do with device is drag it across your face. Let the tips exfoliate your skin and the vacuum part suck away all those dead skin cells! Not hard at all! To see exactly what I mean, check out the video tutorial I made below.
Extra Tips
Here are some extra tips my friend gave me and that I have picked up along the way:
- Wash your face before using it (you don’t want to push dirt or grime back into your face)
- Do the remaining steps in your skincare after you use it
- Make sure you moisturize! (Your skin will be sensitive)
- Try to use it at night since your skin will be red for a couple hours
- Always change the filter before every use
- Do not put it on your lips or under eye area
When using this microdermabrasion device, I have found it makes my skin look brighter and evens out my skin tone but I have to be using it regularly. I try to use it once a week and it makes such a difference. My skin can get very dull looking and this device has really helped me! So if you’re looking for brighter skin (and who isn’t?) grab one of these microdermabrasion devices for yourself! Don’t forget to leave a comment if you decide to try it!
