5 myths about microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is the first step to healthier, brighter skin. When it comes to your face, there’s good reason to be nervous about trying something new—but microdermabrasion is safe and simple! Here are some myths about microdermabrasion debunked!

 

  1. It hurts!

It’s completely understandable why you might think a foreign substance scrubbing away dead skin cells from your face could hurt—but this really doesn’t! In fact, it can feel almost like a massage.

  1. It’s risky.

Despite the long, almost intimidating name, microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure with minimal risk—especially when you’re having a professional skincare physician performing it.

  1. It’s time-consuming

The bonus of this non-surgical performance is that this procedure is short and requires no downtime! Lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, when you’re done, you’re good to go. You may have a slightly pink tint to your face for a few hours, but it will be replaced by smooth, glowing skin in no time.

  1. It’s pointless

Even with a regular skincare routine, it’s still important to exfoliate if you’re dedicated to clear, healthy skin. Microdermabrasion is designed to remove dead skin cells and debris that your regular nightly routine cannot do alone.

  1. It’s just as effective to DIY

DIY methods on Pinterest or over the counter scrubs are simply not as effective. Microdermabrasion is still a medical procedure and for effective results, it’s best to seek a skincare professional.

What is the importance of SPF

Sidney | 15.3.2016


We all know we are supposed to apply sunscreen when we are outside, but what is it really protecting us from? UVA, UVB, UVC, and IR rays are all damaging to our skin. When you're not wearing sunscreen on a daily basis to help protect your skin's health, UVA and UVB rays can cause skin reddening, brown spots, accelerated skin aging, and increase your risk of skin cancer.   UVA - stands for Ultraviolet A or " UV Aging Rays". These rays cause long term skin damage and photo-aging.   UVB - stands for Ultraviolet B or "UV Burning Rays". These rays are the cause of a sunburn. UVB rays are the common cause of most skin cancers.   UVC - stands for Ultraviolet C. It is the strongest and most deadly of solar rays, however the ozone layer stops these from reaching the Earth.   IR or Infrared Rays- these rays penetrate the deepest into the skin causing the skin to lose elasticity.   Here are a few things to remember when protecting yourself.

  • Look at your sunscreen ingredients and make sure you see titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
  • Avoid tanning and UV tanning beds.
  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily with an SPF of 30 or higher.
  • Apply 2 tbs of sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside; reapply every 80 minutes or after swimming or sweating.
  • Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures a sunscreen's effectiveness in preventing a sunburn in relation to the length if time spent in the sun.
  • Schedule a yearly visit with your dermatologist for a complete skin exam.
