Microdermabrasion home kits are among the bestselling skin care kits today. The effectiveness of the microdermabrasion home kits will be determined on the frequency and how you use it.

Here is a quick guide on using a microdermabrasion kit for maximum benefit:

1. Opt for a high quality microdermabrasion home kit. Microdermabrasion kits are not created equal. While higher priced kits are usually better, there are also good ones in the middle and lower end of the scale. In general, choose a microdermabrasion home kit that has a moisturizing resurfacing cream and a resurfacing tool. A set of sponge applicators should also be included in the set. These are important since they will take the place of the fine crystals used in skin care clinics.

2. Always read and follow the detailed instructions in your home kit. Most home kits will advise you to use their tools during the cleansing process. Washing your face with water is essential before you begin the procedure. Shy away from soap as it can irritate your skin and be in conflict against your microdermabrasion cream. With the sponge applicator attached snugly on the resurfacing tool, duck it lightly in the microdermabrasion cream.

3. Apply the cream and lightly glide the resurfacing tool. Avoid scrubbing your face with the resufacing tool. Tools and creams that came with your microdermabrasion kits are specially designed to gently polish the surface of your skin. With the resurfacing tool, gently massage your face with it. Vibration is normal. Avoid sensitive areas such as eyes and mouth to avoid possible irritation.

4. Rinse your face gently then moisturize. Rinse your face with warm water, pat dry, and moisturize your skin. It is best to follow a schedule for using your microdermabrasion kit especially if your skin is sensitive and prone to irritation. It is also best to limit sun exposure.

5. Wash, clean, and store your microdermabrasion machines or kit properly. With warm water and mild anitbacterial or disinfectant soap, clean the resurfacing tool and sponge applicators after every use with warm water. To prevent bacterial growth, it is imperative that you dry them thoroughly before storing.
