Does microdermabrassion work?

Question

I have seen a lot of advertising on the at home microdermabrassion kits. Do they really help even out your skin or are they just full of it?

I don't have acne but my skin isn't as smooth as I want it and I have discolored spots.

Answer 1

I had been strugling with acne for over 9 years and i have tried everything .. microdermabration for example for 2 years and it helped but it did not leave my skin as they said. the important thing to do is #1 read the ingredients from the products you use and understand where they come from and #2 use only botanically based products because they are way much healthier for your skin thn anything else. using too many products formulatted with mineral oil, animal products or byproducts certainly is a dilema. The problem with using these as ingredients is that your skin is not absorbing it and it stays on the top making your pores clog and maybe seeing a temporry, it is like putting celophane paper on your skin and putting the lotions or cremes on it.... also, mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skin, it would be like rubbing car oil on it and exposing yourself to the sun, the sun is #1 and it is the 90% of lines on your skin.... Avoid animal products because these do no get absorbed by our skin and they come from dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc., you see there are these rendering plants (recycle for animals) that they pick all the dead animals and they put them in a huge pot, squash everything inside, boil it and what comes to the top is what companies use to formulate their "beauty" products... gross i know... the lipsticks, lip balms, eww ... anyway, use botanically based products for everything, skin care, makeup, body care, aromatherapy, i use arbonne products and they work just great, thier makeup are vegetale, their skin care roducts are amazing only from plants no chemicals, nature, and their antiaging line is just awesomw, they are so convinced you will like their line that they have a 45 money back guarantee if you are not satisfied w/ their products you return and they give you $ back, that is why i startec to use them, because no other line does this, not estee lauder, lancome, none of them and well i had nothing to loose just the curiosity.. so i buy them online at: http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com under shop online and i receive my products in my house with nobody bothering me nor pushing me to buy.... if i need help i can call a consultant but it would be up to you... anyway try them they are really great .....
