Have any of you tried an at-home microdermabrasion kit before? Did you notice any difference in your skin tone?? I'm looking for any kind of feedback! |
I've been using home microdermabrasion for about a year now. I wish I had better news for you - but don't expect to see a lot of changes in the old scars. I've seen some reduction in fine lines - but microdermabrasion isn't the only thing I use - I also use copper peptides, salicylic acid, a mix of jojoba oil & essential oils, and I just added glycolic peels.
You will notice that your skin will feel smoother & the exfoliation will help make your pores smaller & keep them clear - but I don't know of anyone who has achieved major results with home microdermabrasion.
Another thing - be careful not to use too much pressure - this can irritate acne-prone skin & cause breakouts. Let the machine do the work. Another suggestion - be careful about the microdermabrasion cream you use - they are not all made equal - some can cause breakouts.
