It's never a bad thing to take time out to pamper yourself, and Hydroxatone's Revitalizing Microdermabrasion ($40) allows you to do just that and more. Sure, the creamy exfoliant sloughs away dullness and fine lines, leaving skin looking more even, radiant, and smooth. It's the way it invigorates and massages the skin, however, that will have you oohing and ahhing. Think of it like a minifacial Read more
Earlier this month, facialist Marc Edward told us that scrubs actually make your skin worse. Exfoliation, though, is important for keeping your skin clear, your pores small, and your cell turnover high. So what's a woman to do? There are actually tons of different ways to slough skin gently and effectively, and different varieties work for different ages and skin types. To get the lowdown on Read more
Reader missy k is obsessed with finding a microdermabrasion treatment that will make skin, as she puts it, "as smooth as a shiny new egg." I was excited to hear about her experience with Kiehl's Re-Texturizing Microdermabrasion ($40). I'll turn it over to her for the full scoop: Formulated with "diatomatious earth," which is apparently made from "crushed microshells derived from ocean sand," as Read more
Ah, I remember the first microdermabrasion treatment I ever had. Truthfully, I was scared that the blast of crystals would hurt, so I braced myself. Fortunately, though, I didn't feel any pain, and the result — glowy, dewy-looking skin — made me understand the hype. Unfortunately, though, I don't have an extra $100 in my monthly budget for microdermabrasion. Enter Crystalift. It's a compact Read more
It looks like affordable at-home microdermabrasion kits were the big winners of the beauty breakthrough category for 2007. I am surprised about this one since I thought for sure that Botox and zit-zapping gadgets like Zeno and ThermaClear were far more popular — but the stats don't lie. I actually just received Nature's Gate Organics Microdermabrasion Skin Refining Kit $38.50 as a gift and Read more
When a box of JamieO skin care arrived on my desk, I couldn't open it at first. Y'see, the packaging is gorgeous. It's a dove-gray and pink box, tied up in a beautiful pink ribbon. Who wants to ruin that prettiness? Eventually, I opened it and found a beautiful glass jar and tube of product nestled inside. GiggleSugar offered to try out the Crystal Radiance Microdermabrasion System ($75), so I Read more
Another Thursday, another Beauty Blooper! This one comes from an anonymous reader who was brave enough to share her story: "Help me, BellaSugar! I went to the drugstore and purchased an over-the-counter chemical peel that left my face burning. My skin was very red and blotchy. The best analogy I can think of is that I resembled Samantha from the Sex and the City episode, "Plus One is The Read more
Before I tried microdermabrasion, I worried that it would hurt. It didn't, and my skin looked great! When I felt how soft and smooth it was, I wondered why I hadn't done it sooner. This is one treatment that lives up to the hype. Unfortunately, I can't afford monthly treatments—but I can afford RoC's at-home microdermabrasion disks. At just ten bucks a package, they're an affordable alternative Read more
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure (usually done in medspas or at a dermatologist's office) that improves skin's appearance by buffing away the dead outermost layer. It's an effective way to combat sun damage, light acne scars, fine lines and generally dull skin. The procedure is usually performed using a microdermabrasion wand that shoots tiny crystal particles (usually aluminum oxide, Read more
