Better Nutrition ; SKIN THAT EASILY REACTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT OR CERTAIN INGREDIENTS REQUIRES PRODUCTS THAT DELIVER TLC If your Sensitive skin is crying for attention, treat it gently. Easily irritated and frequently inflamed skin needs special consideration. It may surprise you to learn that a minimalist approach. Since irritation can lead to acne breakouts it's important that your physician puts you on the most gentle microdermabrasion formula first, before trying a more aggressive product (Neutrogena is fairly gentle but Micro Pearl Abrasion is the most gentle product that's effective). People with severe acne should avoid all at-home systems since it's unlikely that their skin will tolerate them. Some people with sensitive skin react quite well to microderm abrasion but others simply don't. Most micro-crystal creams on the market are formulated for normal skin types which tolerate chemicals and comedogenic ingredients fairly well. An overly sensitive skin doesn't, which is why some people end up wishing they'd never touched one of these personal microdermabrasion systems. Dermanew is the only company I know to have a special personal micro dermabrasion kit for acne-prone skin. It uses aspirin to counteract any irritation and inflammation other ingredients in the cream may cause. on the other hand, has a special micro-crystal cream formula for sensitive skin. Micro Pearl Abrasion and Dr. Brandt are the most effective microderm abrasion systems on sensitive skin. Sensitive skin may not tolerate office-performed skin resurfacing either. It's not the exfoliation or vacuum that's the problem but the fact that the newly revealed skin layer is too sensitive and thin to be fully exposed to environmental factors. On the other hand, some of the before and after products (cleanser, moisturizer, etc) may be the ones to cause adverse reactions. You can try using your own skincare products instead. The fact is that microdermabrasion will simply not work for some people. Since it's the most gentle of all skin resurfacing procedures, someone who doesn't tolerate microderm abrasion will probably not tolerate any other skin rejuvenation technique either. If you have skin that sensitive, microderm abrasion is a blessing because if you have it first, before other more invasive rejuvenation procedures, and see that it doesn't suit you, any damage done to the skin is minimal. The same cannot be said about chemical peels which are invasive and can cause permanent damage. |
