Check out my latest beauty regime edition – this is a serious bit of kit. The Personal Microderm is, exactly as it says, a handheld personal microdermabrasion device. It comes with three different heads for your face as well as the ‘training’ head and three for your body (it’s great for dead skin on feet in need of a pedicure!).

First impressions, I was a bit terrified of this! I’ve never really looked into it previously so I had a lot of learning to do. The PMD comes with a a training DVD with loads of information and a demonstration of how to use it. The way microdermabrasion works is that it creates tiny injuries to the skin which the body reacts to as it thinks it’s hurt so it creates new skin-cells, hello, fresh baby-soft skin! It doesn’t hurt at all, it leaves you with small slightly red marks which fade over the next 24 hours but you can still see them within 12, so if you aren’t going anywhere for the weekend, it’s good to do it then! I’m looking forward to continuing use of the PMD to see if my skin tone improves.

I’ve also been looking into skin tightening treatments and actual microdermabrasion in salons so if anyone has any experience with these, let me know!
