Hi CDR,
Thanks for your email regarding home microdermabrasion kits. Well, unfortunately, I haven't tested a lot of different microdermabrasion kits to give an objective opinion.
I usually make my own microdermabrasion scrubs using sugar and olive oil. You should try it, you'll love it. Use lemon juice if your skin is oily and just add enough of juice or oil to make a paste. I use it all over my body too!
And for more intense results I like the microdermabrasion scrub/fruit acid kit. This is intense, so I only use it a few times a year. But, it's really good if you have post acne discoloration, light scarring, or uneven skin tone.
I first saw it featured on The Doctors' Show. It works great on my skin and it really buffs and exfoliates dead cells. It also has a sanding and vacuum technology that many other over-the-counter machines did not have.....this combination is what makes the professionals machines so effective too.
However, this one is more gentle and not as intense as professional machines. BUT, don't let this little machine fool you. I left it in one place too long and a few hours later had a red sore spot.....so it does work and you should follow the directions exactly.
My only real complaint with this machine is it's noisy. But, other than that - I like the results.
And, it's pretty inexpensive, and while they supply you with several different discs to get you through your first month or two, you will have to replace them eventually (depending on how often you use it).
So you may want to get a supply when you order the machine and save on shipping. Click on this link to watch the video from the The Doctors' Show........Personal Microderma System video.
