This is a post from a good friend that owns a salon in Central Florida...
She is full of knowledge on SKIN CARE INFORMATION...
"Many companies have come out this season with what they refer to as “microdermabrasion in a jar”..
They claim.” The Doctor is OUT”… the same aluminum oxide crystals used in the in office procedures for microderm are now found in a rubbing compound for the skin every day people can use at home..
Unlike the real procedure that is done in a clinical treatment where as a machine is used and pressurized air blasts the crystals onto the surface of the skin…..the in home crystals are massaged on to the surface of the skin with the fingers… ( this is performing quite a lot of action on the surface).. people think the skin feels so soft after use...but using this too often creates problems for the skin....
When the crystals are used by a professional with a machine the treatment stimulates collagen production along with the exfoliation…
This in home treatment should only be used once every 7-10 days…but people are doing it often at home in their shower… way too often....
This much action on the face, throat and delicate chest tissue can make the skin very very sensitive to tanning.... and break down valuable oils in the skin....
We had a guest who is an avid tanner, level 3A skin type..she came out of her session ( 15 minutes in the Ultra-Sun 4000) and her face was very very pink…and she said it stung…
We applied a aloe toning mist to the skin and examined the areas that were inflamed with the dermascope… revealing tiny scratches on the surface of her skin we asked "what in the world did you use on your skin"???? “Dermapolish” she said… an over the counter compound crystal... available at the food store..or the mall......
This in home treatment is quite aggressive to the skin and should be used in moderation..(every 7-10 days)
Remember…ask your guests on a regular basis if anything has changed with their skin care regiment….even products with AHA or Beta acids can make the skin sensitive to tanning,
Know whats out there….so you can advise your guests to look good and feel good…… these types of products don't mix with tanning......"
