Dermabrasion at home

Simply understood, dermabrasion is abrasion of skin. It is done to remove acne scars, dull skin, brown spots and age-related discoloration, mesalma and blackheads.

It is a surgical procedure in which the upper layers of skin are removed using a high-powered rotating brush.

Dermabrasion can be done at home as follows: After a shower the body including the face is soft and supple. Using the same towel that you use to wipe the body, rub it on the facial skin as if gently polishing the skin. It is specially good for blackheads, melesma and dull skin as these facial conditions contribute to maximum blemishes.

A caution though, do not rub so much that your skin becomes reddish or inflammed due to friction burns.
