Whether you're just beginning to learn about the ins and outs of caring for your face or you are intimately familiar with everything you can use to make your skin look its very glowing best, one thing that you should have a good working knowledge of is exfoliation. Essentially, exfoliating is the process where dead skin is removed from the surface of your skin. When the dull dead skin is removed, your skin will achieve a healthy glow.
Immediately after you exfoliate for the first time, you'll notice cleaner, fresher and smoother skin. But what happens over time is where the real benefit is found. A habit of regular exfoliation can solve many common skin problems as well as aid in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. And these great benefits can be yours just for getting rid of some dull, dead skin.
While skin exfoliation typically brings to mind something you physically do to your skin, it's important to note that the skin does exfoliate itself naturally as well. However, various environmental and lifestyle issues tend to slow this natural process making it essential for most people to do some exfoliation on their own.
For instance, if your skin tends to be oily, this can make natural exfoliation more difficult as the dead skin will stick to the oil. With aging skin, the process can also be a bit slower than you might prefer.
Although the majority of people can and should exfoliate their skin, there are some cautions to be aware of. If you have ultra sensitive skin or a specific skin condition, take care and consult with your dermatologist before changing your skincare routine. You may even find that gentle exfoliation is just what the doctor orders!
Many manual exfoliation and microdermabrasion products are available for home use and require gently rubbing a formula onto the skin to cause friction. Typically you'll notice immediate results with these products but may need something stronger after the first few treatments.
Chemical exfoliants are widely available both over the counter and through your dermatologist. They come in gel, cream or serum form and should be used on clean skin. Some of the most popular exfoliation products include alpha hydroxy acids, or AHA's. AHA's are derived from fruits and like the manual solutions, work to remove dead skin cells from the skin. You can find several varieties and brands on the market and most provide excellent benefits to your skin.
Consider exfoliation if you're looking for a way to brighten dull skin and achieve a younger look. Your face will benefit from the fantastic anti-aging benefits of smoother skin and you'll be taking an important step toward maintaining your skin's health.

It's no secret that women love diamonds. It should come as no surprise, then, that your skin loves the effect diamond microdermabrasion can have on it. Until recently, the only way to get this specialized procedure was to visit a professional who had the necessary equipment. And, as with jewelry, a diamond-tipped device designed to deeply exfoliate your skin was once rare and expensive.
As you may know, crystal microdermabrasion is more popular and readily available than its diamond counterpart. Because more clinics offer the treatment, it's also considerably less expensive. Even so, many women find that professional treatments - whether they use crystals or a diamond-tip, are not affordable for them.
Many women prefer the diamond treatment because it's safer and is able to treat delicate areas such as the skin around the eyes. Much of the safety concern is due to dust particles produced during a crystal-based process. As anyone over the age of 30 can attest, the eyes are often the first place to show common signs of aging so it's important to be able to treat them.
For those who want the benefits of microdermabrasion without the cost, exfoliating creams and other gadgets are constantly developed and marketed to meet this demand. While some of these products do produce positive benefits for many women, the results cannot be compared to professional treatments. It takes longer to see skin improvement and the level of skin renewal may never advance to the extent possible with quality equipment.
Fortunately there is a solution that is both affordable and highly effective. A company by the name of Timepeel offers the only FDA approved diamond microdermabrasion machine designed for home use. This is great news for anyone who wants younger, healthier and clearer skin.
Designed to be easy to use, this home microdermabrasion machine uses a wand with a diamond exfoliating tip. The wand is held comfortably in one hand and is easily guided along the face for amazing results. Even if you're not a do-it-yourself type of person, using this machine is incredibly easy. And, because it's a one-time investment you'll save hundreds or even thousands on professional treatments.
