Home Dermabrasion Guide

Home dermabrasion kits are a great way to resurface the top layer of your skin. It helps to reduce mild acne, scars, clogged or enlarged pores, age spots, fine lines and dull skin.

These kits are also a good way to supplement a professional microdermabrasion session or to improve and get more dramatic results from your Facial Peels and and/or BakingSoda/Sugar Scrubs.



Do The Home Kits Really Work?

One of the questions I get asked often is whether a dermabrasion kit for home use is as effective as a professional microdermabrasion session. Well, I’ve had professional microdermabrasion and it’s great. My skin never looked better, but……..

The results don’t last long and it was much too expensive to keep it up. So, I’ve investigated several home dermabrasion kits to find one that worked just as well.

I can tell you right now, the inexpensive drug store brands did nothing special. The baking soda/sugar scrubs and glycolic/salicylic acid peels provided better, smoother skin.

I didn’t want to spend a lot of money but was desperate to find something that was close to a professional microdermabrasion.


What's My Favorite?

By far my favorite personal dermabrasion kit is the DermaNew Microdermabrasion Kit. This system contains a battery powered applicator that uses medical grade corundum crystals to exfoliate and deep clean the skin. It even contains attachments so you can use it on your body like the Decollete area and even on your feet.

I first read about it in Good Housekeeping magazine and later found out that it was featured in Real Simple, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, and Renew.

It cost a little more than the drug store brands, but compared to professional version, which costs about $100.00 to $200.00 per session – this costs about $2.00 per session.

Want a More Powerful Dermabrasion Kit?

If you want to step it up a notch, the Crystalift Microdermabrasion Machine is a little more expensive, but it’s the same machine that dermatologists use – it even contains the same type of crystals and vacuum technology used by dermatologists. It even feels the same as the professional microdermabrasion – mild tingles.

The only problem with Crystalift is that it’s not very easy to work around the nose area. The wand wouldn’t stay flushed close enough to the skin to really get that area cleaned. But, other than that, it pretty easy to use and works great.

Other Home Dermabrasion Options

There are other options to home dermabrasion techniques using exfoliating gloves, mitts,brushes, and special creams that contain Aluminum Oxide crystals. These creams can be used together with the glove or mitts for even better results.
