Professional Facial Microdermabrasion: The Skincare You Owe Yourself

I don’t think it’s just my impression when I say lack of time has become an epidemic. Looking back at my lifestyle some months ago, I was turning into a machine that only had time to do the work related tasks, eat unhealthy fast food options because of their fast preparation and addictive taste, and I barely had the sleep I needed. Yet despite all this, I still found myself pressed for time more often than not and what’s sad about all this is I was just one of many who lead this kind of lifestyle.

I don’t have to tell you the bad impact this had on my well-being. The improper nutrition, lack of sleep and polluted air had taken their toll on me, particularly my face. My skin was far from its best self but I only had my poor choices to blame. Apart from looking dull and lifeless, acne appeared along with congestion. The worst thing about it? I hadn’t dealt with these problems even when I was a teenager… so I found myself turning into one in my late 20s (certainly not something to be happy about).

After dealing with numerous medical products and natural remedies, using baking soda, lemon, cucumbers and what not, I was tired of the time-consuming fruitless results and the problems were really beginning to scar my self-esteem as much as my face. Once I’d decided to change my daily habits the best I could, eating healthier and sleeping more, it was also time to try out a treatment that would help me bring my skin glow back: professional facial microdermabrasion.

Unlike other treatments I’d heard of before, microdermabrasion doesn’t require any skin preparation and brings optimal results since it’s a process that exfoliates, smooths the skin texture by removing the layer of dead skin cells thanks to the use of diamonds or microcrystals. I know it may sound like it’s a painful process (at least it did to me) but much to my surprise professional facial microdermabrasion is in fact very painless. I even got to enjoy the treatment as much as I enjoy massages!

Right after the treatment, not only was my skin clean, but also softer, decongested and rejuvenated. As I’ve learnt, microdermabrasion happens to be one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments so you can wave the wrinkles goodbye. Though I only had facial treatment, it’s a process than can be done with the neck and décolletage as well. A little change goes a long way, and I admit the change of lifestyle was something I desperately needed but my face couldn’t have looked so good without the treatment. My skin has never absorbed skin care products this easily and I no longer have to dread looking myself in the mirror first thing in the morning.
