I have now had three microdermabrasion treatments and each time I mention it on Twitter, I get a huge response asking me about it.

For those of you who do not know what Microdermabrasion is, it is a powerful exfoliating treatment. It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses micro-crystals to abrade and rub off the top layer of dead and dull skin cells. It reveals the newer, younger and smoother skin underneath.

Without boasting, I generally have good skin. I don’t get many break outs, apart from when I am overly stress and it will show on my skin. I wanted a course of Microdermabrasion just to give my skin a bit of a boost and make it smoother.

So I had my first treatment about three months ago. Many people ask if it hurt. It didn’t hurt, but it felt very strange and at times a little uncomfortable. Well, it would do as you’re having the top layer of your skin removed with diamonds. However, I soon got used to the sensation. Whilst undertaking the treatment, you really do need to look after your skin and wear at least an SPF 15 (which I usually do within my daily moisturiser). I also finish my treatment with vitamin E boost mask, which just leaves my skins looking and feeling great instantly after the treatment. It just means going out without make up isn’t so bad.

About two weeks after my first treatment, I was ill and admitted into hospital with a kidney infection. By day three, I felt horrible with being too ill to implement my usual skincare regime. However, my mother commented how well I looked despite being in hospital and that the microdermabrasion’s results were already showing. I know she’s my mother, but she really does say it how it is. I have found it is easier for others to notice, before you actually do.

I have now had three treatments and I can already see the results. I know if I had any specific problems with my skin, or even bad skin, then it would work wonders for it. But because I already have clear skin, I have to look closer and find it harder to see the difference myself.

I know the thought of microdermabrasion scares some people away, but I would recommend real researching the treatment, going to a salon and speaking to them about it. I can only give my experience of it, but they will explain in much more detail and answer your specific questions.

I am always interested in hearing about other people’s experiences of microdermabrasion. If you’ve had it, how was it for you? Also, do let me know if you do go for the first time.
