Which is more effective? Microdermabrasion, or chemical peels?

Question

I don't want Botox or do anything surgical, or the likes of either. But I would like to know if microdermabrasion or chemical peel is more effective for maintaining youthful appearance and skin rejuvination, so I can weigh options when I finally can afford to do either.

Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

microdermabrasion is gentle exfoliation of skin and you can do it regularly at home..
chemical peels are more drastic and expensive; and will cause unsightly drying of the skin prior to major peeling..
either way, always moisturize because these procedures revela new skin that needs to be hydrated.

Answer 2

There are some fine do-it-yourself microdermabrasion products on the market that go a step further than homemade exfollients like sugar or baking soda. You might want to try one of them to postpone the day of spending $$$$. As for chemical peels, I don't know enough to advise.
