That skin boost

My skin has gone through some serious changes, as is the same with most of us. Most of the time I have been oblivious to how we (my skin and I) can have a better relationship. I have always stuck with what was known to me. Which isn't always the best treatment for your skin.

I therefore decided to venture into different products that I read online. Holland and Barrett's Vitamin E Pure Oil stood out for me. Since my skin was constantly breaking out, dry, has large pores and had scars, I needed something to nourish and calm my skin down. I have combination oily skin and the thought of applying more oil onto my face scared me. But the research I made laid my fears to rest. 

I feel as though this is my skin rescue product. My skin barely breaks out anymore and my scars have not disappeared but aren't as dark as they used to be. Many products work differently for various skin types, but I am positive that this product is one of those that helps various skin types. Have you tried this product out? What are your thoughts?

Personal Microderm

I wouldn't say I have a heavy load of acne going on. But if I had the option of getting a much clearer complexion, I guess myself as well as you would definitely say YES :). My skin is oily so yeh it is prone to acne and during a certain time in the month, lets just say I get 2 - 3 visitors on my face.

In the past I pinched every one of them and this left scars, which is when I became a bit fussy about my skin and pimples. I can say I have invested in a number of "tubes" that promise relief, some funny green antibiotic tablets, masks and even facials but found that either these didn't offer long lasting effects or I wasn't patient with them.

Recently I decided to do some research and at least give this skin business one final try. I found that many blogs, YouTubers and websites talked about microdermabrasion. Scary right. Basically, it is a process by which you exfoliate the skin to enable the growth of skin cells that repair the damaged skin. Why not give it a try? The PMD was one of the most raved about solutions. Its advantages - you can have it handy at home and use as you please [the cost of this process at the spa is ridiculous]. I picked up one with the attitude "what's the worst that could happen?"

*BENEFITS
I personally use it whenever I feel a pimple coming. Once I use it, I am clear of that.
Since I started using the PMD, I have gotten less pimples.
My scars and blemishes have reduced
It leaves your skin feeling really really soft and glowing
During winter, my body got dry patches. I used this to take those dry flakes off and found that my body butter sunk in much faster with better results.

It is expensive. However, I would really recommend this especially if you want to see an improvement in your troubled skin. 

Do you have the PMD? Let me know your experiences.
