Over the summer, I spent a lot of time travelling and staying out in the sun. I have sensitive skin which can get sun damage very easily but I was having too much fun and didn't care. After three months of beaches, hot summer walks and sightseeing I was back in school where everything becomes more real. After enjoying my new tan for the first two weeks of school, I became very serious. When I start to stress, I will stress about everything. It began to hit me that there was a lot of sun damage on my skin. I was freaking out because I like to worry about small things after I do the damage. I decided to add another step to my skin care routine so that I could feel like I did something about it. I heard about doing the microdermabrasion to remove sun damaged skin. You can do microdermabrasion at a salon where professionals use high quality crystals to remove the top layer of your skin to reveal new and smoother skin. One treatment can cost from 100 to 300 dollars. These treatments are extremely effective for people with aging skin but I wanted something more subtle. One of my coworkers from SDM recommended the Dermaglow Radiance Microdermabrasion System. Its an at home microdermabrasion system which is supposed to work over time and make the skin more radiant. I bought the set which comes with a microdermabrasion exfoliator and a finishing cream. I use this treatment once a week after steaming my face. The magnesium crystals in the exfoliator are very tiny and don't give me any irritation. I love this scrub because it makes my skin feel very rejuvinated and fresh. My skin also looks more clear and is glowing. I had some sun spots on my right cheekbone but after using the scrub, they were reduced. I feel beautiful without the foundation. I don't use the finishing cream because it smells bad to me and I got breakouts from it. However, my coworker told me that the cream didn't irritate her at all. A lot of dermatologists recommend microdermabrasion to their patients because it is an excellent way to exfoliate the skin. For now I am satisfied with my at home dermaglow microdermabrasion kit but also can't wait until I finish it so that I can try other kinds. I recommend this to people who want to try microdermabrasion for the first time. Dermaglow is popular in Canada and great for people with sensitive skin like mine.
