So it’s time for a little beauty confession. Back in my teens, twenties and early thirties I only ever wore sunscreen when I went to the beach. I know. So naughty of me! But my skin used to be flawless and I naively thought it would stay that way.
As a result, I never bothered with wearing sunscreen or including simple at home skin care programs to my every day skin routine.
Fast forward to the ripe old age of 43 and I’ve got more than my fair share of sun-damage, fine lines and pigmentation appearing on my face.
Over the years I’ve tried all sorts of products to improve the appearance of my skin and up until recently the only at home skin care regime I’ve really had any time for is an Instagram filter!
Introducing Skin Doctors Powerbrasion
But that soon changed when I was introduced to Skin Doctors Powerbrasion at home micro-dermabrasion system.
It’s a really easy to use system, combining both micro-dermabrasion and Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliation, that promises to deliver instant results in the comfort of your own home.
So how does it work?
Great question! I’m so pleased you asked.
First up, you’ll need to grab two AA batteries and put them into the Micro-Dermabrasion Facial Tool.
Make sure your face is make up free and then apply Skin Doctors Exfoliating Crystals directly onto your moistened forehead, nose and cheeks. This multi-active yet gentle scrub contains micro-encapsulated crystals (small exfoliating particles), so you’ll get all the benefits of a powerful exfoliation without any harsh scratching or damage to your skin.
Attach either the Sensitive Cleansing Brush Head or the Gentle Exfoliation Sponge and starting with your forehead, gently massage the exfoliating crystals into your skin, using small circular motions. From there, move down to your nose and chin before finishing with your cheeks.
Once complete, rinse off with water and dry your face completely.
Then you need to apply the Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy evenly over your face as you would a moisturiser. This particular product blends the best from both the alpha and the beta hydroxy acids that results in a beautiful, smoothing effect on your skin.
Finally, if you use the Powerbrasion system during the day, follow with Skin Doctors SPF protection.
At night follow with your choice of Skin Doctors moisturiser. I went with Skin Doctors Supermoist.
The advanced moisturisers in Supermoist will not only give your skin an instant moisture injection but they will also form an invisible hydrating barrier that will keep moisture within the skin for up to 24 hours.
Tell me honestly, what do you think of it?
The Micro-Dermabrasion Facial Tool itself is really easy to use. It’s lightweight and the two brush head options are great. I like both, with the Gentle Exfoliation Sponge being my favourite due to its softness on the skin.
The Skin Doctors Exfoliating Crystals are extremely fine and very gentle on the skin. They didn’t cause any irritation on my skin at all, although like any new skin care product, you should always do a patch test on your own skin prior to use.
Together the Facial Tool and the Exfoliating Crystals have given my skin an incredibly deep exfoliation, removing the dead, lifeless top layer of skin to reveal fresh, smooth, new glowing skin that lies beneath each time I’ve used it. My skin definitely feels much softer and smoother after every use!
The Gamma Hydroxy comes with a warning that a tingling sensation is normal after application. I would say it’s more stinging that tingling but the stinging does stop after a minute or two. Any initial discomfort I feel when it’s applied is definitely worth it, because honestly, my skin feels amazing once the whole process is complete!
I’ve always suffered from quite dry skin and have struggled in the past to find a moisturiser that leaves my skin feeling truly hydrated. I’m pleased to report that Skin Doctors Supermoist definitely lives up to its claim of ‘long lasting moisturisation’ and I absolutely love how hydrated it leaves my skin feeling after each use.
I’ve only been using the Skin Doctors Powerbrasion at home micro-dermabrasion system for a few weeks but so far I really do love it.
It’s very easy to use, the products leave my skin feeling smoother than it ever has before and I’m hoping that after several more weeks of use, I’ll be able to see as well as feel the improvement in the appearance of my rapidly ageing skin!
Sounds great! Where can I buy Skin Doctors products?
