OT- Microdermabrasion

Daffodil · #1 July 23rd, 2011, 10:19 AM

So I know I'm one of the older moms on these boards, but does anyone have any experience with microdermabrasion? Or know anyone who got it? I just feel like my skin looks aged and tired ever since delivering and I'm wondering if this would help.

I did it once but I was like 25 or 26. I wouldn't have paid for it them but it came in a package with something else I did - like laser hair removal or something. I don't remember noticing a huge difference but then again, I was 25 and my skin looked really good then.

One suggestion for your skin to look its best is to be sure to drink plenty of water. It's amazing what a difference that makes.

Haha, that's true, and I was also thinking if I wasn't so tired all the time, I probably wouldn't look so tired all the time.

I used to do it! When I was 15/16, maybe a little younger, we were playing hide & go seek (LOL I'm not kidding) and I didn't want to lose....so my parents have a lot of land and a wooded area behind their house, I ran straight through blackberry bushes and cut my legs up really bad. I used to get glycolic acid and microdermabrasion treatments on my legs to help the scarring---and it did!

You should try a good exfoliator first though.

My favorites are Lush's Ocean Salt - LUSH -- Facial Care Products: Ocean Salt Cleanser (normal to oily skin)

& Bobbi Brown's Buffing grains---you can add them to any face wash, I have had mine since March and it still looks like I haven't used any. Exfoliators : Buffing Grains for Face - Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

& if you want something quick and easy for under your eyes I have suggestions too LOL
