Microdermabrasion is an age old skin care habit that should be part of your skin care regimen. The science behind it is pretty simple and easy to understand. Microdermabrasion is a process where you abrade or “scrub” your skin in a very light manner to help it exfoliate or shed off dead skin cells to expose the fresh skin beneath and perhaps stimulate the skin to produce new skin cells with the intention of keeping the skin young and healthy-looking. It is also highly recommended treatment for acne-inflicted skin (even hormonal acne cases) because, when done regularly and properly, it will help keep the skin acne resistant by keeping dirt and excess oil off the skin. They are also great at wiping off makeup and other cosmetic products off your face.
To perform microdermabrasion, you will need an exfoliating scrub that is usually in cream form that includes gently abrasive materials like crystals or small beads from plants or any other synthetic sources. However, as an alternative, some microdermabrasion proponents recommend using microdermabrasion cloths instead of cream-based exfoliating products.
One obvious advantage of using cloths instead of the usual microdermabrasion cream systems (like the Dermanew Creme System) is the cheaper price. These cloths are usually made up of the usual material that can be found many cleaning cloths but one of their distinctive characteristics is that they are specially made with microfiber material that are made up of tiny protruding fibers that help pick up the dead skin cells more efficiently.
Proper usage is of course very important if you want to choose this strategy and you will need to follow instructions that should be included with the product when you buy it. Also, it is important not to overdo it and scrub your face with the cloth every day. Some users notice negative outcome when using this method every day. Also, it is imperative that you keep the cloth clean and free from harmful dirt and debris. Cleaning it properly or disposing of it after a certain number of uses should be a good habit that will help avoid irritation and even infection.
Furthermore, you should not settle to using the cloth strategy and just forget about the more efficient methods of exfoliating and cleaning your skin. You will probably still need to go to skin clinic for regular microdermabasion facials or keep doing the cream-based approach at home. Using microdermabrasion cloths is not meant to fully replace those proven methods.
