The best at home microdermabrasion systems have these things which will help you get the microdermabrasion treatments at home. These things are the cream, the foam head, the applicator and the serum or the soothing cream.
The way the microdermabrasion thing works is that there are these crystals which will be used to exfoliate the upper skin and make sure that new skin appears from below. Now these crystals are embedded in the cream and also can cause some irritation. So in the cream there is Shea butter also present to give a soothing effect.
The foam head is to make sure that the cream can be applied evenly all across the face.
The applicator is the main equipment which is used to apply the cream to the face. This of course varies based on the price of the kit and also how much sophistication has been built in by the manufactures. The more sophisticated ones have the battery and also they have variable speeds. After you are done with the applying process then chances are that you will have some irritation and stinginess so the serum is included in the kit so that you can have the best treatment at home without bad effects.
The way the crystals work is that they remove the old skin cells and then bring up the new skin from beneath. The cream can be applied using the hands or the special cloth. The crystals remove the dead skin called the stratum corneum and the new cells come in place.
The challenge with the home kits lies in the fact that you are no professionals and can damage your skin if not done correctly. The other challenge lies in the fact that the dead skin cells as well as the cream is not vacuum’ed as in the case of the professional machines so the chances are that your pores may get clogged up with more cream and hence get enlarged.
So the best at home microdermabrasion kits can work effectively however they are no comparison to the real thing that is the microdermabrasion at the spa.
