Miocrodermabrasion Products

i have extremely oily skin and the only products i have found that keeps my face clear is mary kay time wise for oily skin. they have a wash that does everything and a lotion that is spf and oil absorbing. they also have a microderm abrasion that i love!
find a consultant near you by asking around or go to mary kay .com and they can find you one.

I use Mary Kay's Microdermabrasion and love it! It is pricey but to me well worth it. You could always get it at dicount by hosting a party. I've never tried any other brand yet so I'm intrested in what other suggest as I'm always looking too save money!

Yes I have used and are currently using oil of olay microderm products and love them...feels like I went to a spa (used to years ago before I had kids and a hubby) my skin has improved. It cost about 23.99 or so it comes in a small pack and well worth the price. My doctors office has a nurse that used it and she told me about it. You know it never hurst to stop at one of those salons and ask what they would do (not actually using their service) and then purchase the products over the counter to try yourself at home. I have learned even with oily skin you do need to exfoliate but be kind to your skin even with oil skin you need some moisturizer too. I used to have oily skin and break outs now I am usually dry. I had really bad acne at age 24 after many pills from the derm doctor and many creams...I stopped and started going to a salon monthly, they helped my skin way more and that helped me that's when I learned how to care for my skin.

You should do some exfoliate even with oily skin....

I absolutely love the Mary Kay micro derm set.

Hi, I am also a Mary Kay Consultant and our microdermabrasion products are the best. And when you compare the price of going to a dermatologist, our prices are reasonable. But if you have blemish prone skin, I would not recommend using something abrassive. It will aggrevate your skin if used as a acrub. We do have a great clay based mask that is designed for oily/blemish prone skin. I would love to send you a sample of our products with no obligation. I live in Georgia and depending on where you live, I can give you a facial or mail you the samples. Visit my website www.marykay.com/fnelson1 and contact me for a free sample.

I am not a huge Mary Kay fan, but their microdermabrasion product is the best one I've tried. It sounds like we have similar skin issues. If you are worried about how rough you are being, you could consider a really good facial. Amber at Urban Nirvana in the South Windemere shopping centre is awesome and will be honest with you about products to use whether or not they are carried at her spa.

I've used the Mary Kay microdermabrasion set and love it. I noticed a big difference in my skin right away.

No I haven't but I love my Shaklee products which include a very wonderful gentle scrub as well as a full line of other products. I love a scrub too but worry about it being too rough but the Shaklee one is great as it seems to really do the job but in a very gentle way. Refining Polisher - All Skin Types -Rejuvenate, Exfoliate, Protect.

For what it is worth that is my experience.

Sincerly,

Hi B.,

I've used a number of Microdermabrasion products over the years and I would recommend Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Rejuvenator. I've been using it for several months and I can see the difference.

I had acne as a teenager and I still occasionally break out. This system really deep cleans my pores and leaves my skin feelings freshed, smooth and clean. The best thing about this product is that it's available everywhere. It's at most grocery and drug stores like CVS, Publix, Kroeger and Walgreens. It can also be ordered online at drugstore.com and many other online sites.

I would encourage you to go to drugstore.com research Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Rejuvenator and read the reviews for yourself. It's a bit pricey up front but once you make the initial investment, the refills are pretty affordable.

Neutrogena also has an Advanced Dermabrasion Kit as well. You may want to check into that as well.

I hope this helps.

Hi B.-
I am not a Mary Kay consultant, and I don't know anyone who is. BUT, I've tried the Mary Kay microdermabrasion, and it is by far the best I've used. If you are looking for something less expensive, the Garnier Fructis microdermabrasion set is also very good. I've used a lot of different scrubs and micro-scrubs, and these two are my faves.

yes... the Mary Kay Microderm set is as good as everyone says! I have also just recently found a new line from Biore' which I did not used to like, however, their new products are for in-between skin. So it is antiaging plus helps with breakouts as well. They do not use any of the Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid either. I personally use the gel cleanser, moisturizer with spf, and the microderm scrub. I use the cleanser and moisturizer morning and night and the microderm scrub 2-3 times a week. I have noticed my skin is very smooth and the products smell great!

Ok, I realize this combination may sound weird, but I swear it works great!
I have combination skin and when I mentioned this at Marietta Health Foods (I'm also not a "health nut", just get good quality supplements and skin care) Debbie, the owner recommended Natural Clay powder mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar. You make a paste out of it, apply and leave on for 20 min. then wash off with water and moisturize.
Your skin (as she said) will look red for about 30 min., but it will feel great. So, I do this at night and use an organic night cream. It makes a world of difference.
Hope this helps.

Hi B.,

I have been using the entire Mary Kay skin care line, including microdermabrasion products, and they work very well for me. It is important to use the entire suggested Mary Kay skin care line along with it because dermabrasion products alone are too harsh on the skin w/out regular use of the cleanser, moisturizer, etc.

My suggestion is to find a complete line that you are comfortable with and use the entire line. Don't skip around to lots of different products, ie Aveeno cleanser, Burt's Bees moisturizer, Lancome toner, Clinique mask, etc.

Good luck!
