Microdermabrasion
Today I had the second of four sessions of microdermabrasion at the local beauty salon and I feel great. It is cheaper in the long run to pay for four at a time.
I have had it done before but stopped after two sessions and only saw a small effect but my skin still felt great. This time I am trying a few chemical peels as well in an effort to refine my pores.I recommend it to those who can afford it to try it and improve your skin while you can.

As I cannot afford the ongoing costs of a beautician for MDB , I decided to buy a PMD device but they too are very dear for what they are. In the meantime I sent away for a OLAY Pro X buffer thingy ( $25 from Sydney) and in 2 weeks I have noticed a decent reduction in pore size and finer complexion and yesterday, after watching many Youtube clips I got a DERMA roller thing to try to reduce the acne scars I have had since my youth . I have just done my first treatment and pain was 1.5 out of 10 and I now have a mild sunburn like glow. I will monitor the results but for $40 all up for both, it is worth a try so I recommend you all look at this option for skin improvement.

Next day and there is a faint tightness on my skin and it is definitely ” plumped up’ as it is scarred by the tiny needles. It does not hurt and I have put on a Jojoba daycream. Reading online it says I need only do this once a month with a 1mm needle roller as the Collagen takes a few weeks to build up production to fill in lines and scars– apparently!
More later.

I have not continued with this in recent years really due to the costs but then tried using a spiked wheel which wounds the skin mildly ( like sunburn). This is said to produce extra collagen in order to plump up the skin tissues. It appeared to have an effect but I forget to do it or are too busy so results lag.
A recent discovery though is the trend to use razors on the areas of the face that we usually don’t shave, the forehead and cheeks and nose area. I am now regularly doing this using a new 3 blade common razor and the result is a much smoother skin and long term reduction of wrinkles and pore size is expected. It is cheap and easy and I recommend that others give it a try. The secret is to use a motion that does not lift the blade but keep it on the skin and uses small strokes. This avoids possible cuts.
WATCH OUT FOR THE EYEBROWS!!!!!!
