Mircrodermabrasion.

I think I am obsessed with Microdermabrasion.
Just over the past two weeks, I have used 4 different treatments over different parts of my body. I can’t help but fall in love with my soft skin over and over, and when my skin starts to feel tight or just not as soft and silky, I find myself doing dermabrasion again.
Today, I am going to take a few to tell you about DermaDoctor’s Physical Chemistry. This is not only a microdermabrasion product, but some what of a chemical peel as well. In fact, there is a lot of scientific “chemistry” information on the DermaDoctor website that explains the differences in what exactly a microdermabrasion treatment does versus a chemical peel, and how this product is balanced just so it can do both.
I feel that this is best used on my somewhat sensitive facial skin only once every two or three weeks or – when I really want to kick up the smoothing process. But I use this two to three times a week on my hand alone. I cannot believe how my hands look and feel – age spots, unevenness, dryness, discolorations… gone! It is a very thick, very gritty product (it contains crystals that are more on the larger side), that you only need to use just a tiny bit of.
If you are looking for a multi-functional peel/microdermabrasion product that does a great, heavy-duty (almost clinical) job, then this a good one to try.
Stay tuned for my other 3 microdermabrasion products that I am *obsessed* with! I’ll be telling you all about those over the next week or so.

















At first pass this product seems to have everything one could wish for, but there is a major flaw, IMHO.
The presence of Dimethicone could serve to block most of the other ingredients by creating a barrier on the surface of the skin.
I would think it best to keep the physical aspects of microdermabrasion separated from the acidic necessities of chemical peeling. This decreases the risk of having the new skin revealed by microdermabrasion, insulted by the presence of too much acid.
Doesn’t that make more sence than having the two combined?
