Here is a quick guide on using a microdermabrasion kit for maximum benefit:

1. Opt for a high quality microdermabrasion home kit. Microdermabrasion kits are not created equal. While higher priced kits are usually better, there are also good ones in the middle and lower end of the scale.

These are imperative because they will replace the fine crystals used in most skin care clinics.

Before starting the procedure, it is best to wash your face with water. Avoid using soap since it can irritate your skin and clash with your microdermabrasion cream. After attaching the sponge applicator on the resurfacing tool, dip it lightly in the microdermabrasion cream.

3. Apply the cream and lightly glide the resurfacing tool. Avoid scrubbing your face with the resufacing tool. Tools and creams that came with your microdermabrasion kits are specially designed to gently polish the surface of your skin. Activating your resurfacing tool and gently massage your face with it. Vibration is normal. Avoid sensitive areas such as eyes and mouth to avoid possible irritation.

4. Rinse your face gently then moisturize. Right after rinsing your face, apply moisturizer. It is best to follow a schedule for using your microdermabrasion kit especially if your skin is sensitive and prone to irritation. It is advisable to limit sun exposure.
