Using a Microdermabrasion Cloth: Will it Help?

Acne, although the symptoms are always similar, can have complex causes, including hormonal imbalance, a badly balanced diet, and improper skin care. Using a microdermabrasion cloth will address the latter. Keeping the skin surface as clean as is humanly possible, will minimize the “breeding ground” for acne.

While acne by itself is not caused by an unclean skin, it can contribute to the extent of the spread, so taking extra care will help to contain it. By removing excess oil, bacteria and dead skin cells, you minimize the risk of infection, restricting outbreaks.

If you suffer from acne, it will be clear by now that normal cleansing processes are not efficient enough. The next step in cleansing is exfoliation. Exfoliation is the process of removing the “dead” layer of skin (your body discards older layers as it forms new ones on a continuous basis), allowing the next layer to take its place. In the process, pores are unclogged, circulation is improved, and imperfections are removed.

Using a microdermabrasion cloth, while being a very effective way of cleansing the skin, assists with the exfoliation process. In doing so, it helps to remove imperfections, re-vitalizing the skin, and increases collagen production.

A microdermabrasion cloth is woven from microfibers. Consisting of a multitude of wedge shaped filaments, the cloth surface was designed to trap oil, dirt and discarded skin fragments inside the woven structure, keeping it away from the skin surface. It allows for a unusually effective skin cleansing.

Pleas keep in mind that not all microfibers can be used safely on your skin. Some were developed for other uses, so be sure to only use cosmetic grade, specified as being safe for usage on sensitive skin types.

Although it may be tempting, using a microdermabrasion cloth is not a daily treatment. The normal recommendation is to use it (depending on your skin type and the condition of the skin) one to three minutes at a time, repeating treatments once very seven to ten days. The results are visible immediately, but overdoing it will be counter productive. Restoring your skin is a process, and between treatments you should allow the skin to do its own reconstruction.
