I forgot to mention one of the best and most noticeable benefits of home microdermabrasion kits. Most people who use the good home treatments, and use it religiously twice a week (which I think is ideal – one may not give you as noticeable results, in my humble opinion), notice a great improvement in the visibility of their pores.
Most people report that after about 6-8 treatments, they have a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their pores, especially where most people have the biggest pores, which tend to be right around our noses. For me, it is the right side of my nose if you were facing me, which also happens to be the same side of my face where I tend to get the most pimples (go figure – those oil glands must be active little buggers on that side of my face).
The reason that Microderm tends to refine our pores is that a big reason for the appearance of our pores is the fact that dead skin cells get lodged in opened pores, which leads to them appear larger. Not only that, it helps to slough these off as well as smooth over the bumpy, opened appearance of these misbehaving pores.
I have to say, after using my home Microderm kit, I’ve noticed a substantial difference in the visibility of my problem pores by my nose. But that’s only when I’m using it consistently. The results do tend to fade if I slack off a little. Plus, these treatments feel good and leave my skin looking refreshed after each use, so it’s a little bit of therapy for me too – call me crazy!
