A lot of women feel that the way to beautiful skin is to head to their nearest cosmetic surgery office for a dermabrasion.  This can be costly with quite a bit of "down time".  Staying at home and not being able to "face" the world because your face looks like ground chuck may not always be the way to get your face as beautiful as you'd like.  Here are a few natural and inexpensive ways to keep you from that dreaded, painful chemical peel or dermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a moderately aggressive form of exfoliation.  It involves the use of crystals suspended in cream to abrade or to rub away the top layers of the dermis (skin).  Microdermabrasion is deeper than superficial peels done by a chemical process, it is also deeper than gentle exfoliation done by less hard crystals or beads.  Microdermabrasion is also more shallow than dermabrasion which is generally performed by a doctor and carries a much greater risk.  It is also more effective than the more shallow exfoliation process and carries a relatively low amount of risk compared to dermabrasion.  Micr

odermabrasion is also safe to do at home, saving you a ton of money.  This type of treatment to remove the top layers of the skin encourages the lower layers to produce new cells faster, improving skin tone and getting rid of superficial skin problems.

What it does
Not only does Microdermabrasion improve the overall skin tone, making the skin smoother and more elastic, it can also help with a number of superficial skin conditions.  By removing the top layer of skin, many of conditions are simply lifted away and new undamaged skin replaces it.
Here are a few conditions Microdermabrasion has been know to help with:

Hyperpigmentation - dark spots
Fine lines and wrinkles
Mild to moderate acne
Acne scarring
Shallow scars
Stretch marks
uneven skin tone
Razor bumps
White and black heads
Enlarged pores
Dull skin

Microdermabrasion helps skin regeration by encouraging skin to increase collagen production and elasticity.  Skin is left looking fresh and smooth.

So, why not look into Microdermabrasion instead of Dermabrasion.  It is not only cheaper, it also carries less risk and down time, (hiding in your house from the public until your face heals) and what's more, it can be done from home, this will save you undue amounts of time on the cosmetic surgery table and you get to keep most of your money to buy new makeup for that flawless skin!
