Wash face well and leave skin slightly
damp (however, dry your hands well for better friction).
Use approximately a pea-sized amount of Microdermx
per section of skin the size of a large egg. |
 |
 |
|
Begin to lightly move the cream around
in circles. Be sure to keep the Microdermx
toward the center of the section, avoiding hairlines etc.
After you spread out the initial amount, it should be
about this consistency: |
 |
 |
|
Work Microdermx in circles
until the "cream" within the formula becomes mostly absorbed.
It will feel a bit dry and the crystals seem to "surface".
It is very important to keep working the product through
this phase until it goes from "gritty to smooth". This
is the actual "microdermabrasion" phase. Here you see
this "dry" phase: |
 |
 |
|
Then it will seem to ball or "clump up"
together and fall away. It is not until you reach this
point that you have attained completion of microdermabrasion.
The time it takes to get to this step can range from around
1 to 4 minutes (of gently moving the Microdermx
in circles) depending on how much dead skin you have to
remove. |
 |
 |
|
Note: The peelings that drop away
are a large part dead skin (!) and medical grade corundum
crystals. |
 |
| Now, repeat this same process on each section of your face before you finish by rinsing your entire face with tepid water. |
 |
| Follow with a thin coat of Step Two. You
may also use the Step Two as a daily (light)
moisturizer after washing your face. After treatment your
skin will feel incredibly smooth and be "rosey" in color.
It is possible that if your skin is more sensitive, it
may even be bright pink and feel hot or warm up to an
hour after you finish treatment. See frequency of use
information below. |

General Tips
It is best to do this treatment at night before bed -
this gives your skin a chance to "breathe". Also avoiding
extensive sunlight exposure 24 to 48 hours after treatment
is preferred. It is better to do a treatment before a
shower (or bath) rather than afterward. Too much moisture
in your hands after a shower (or bath) can make the "gritty
to smooth" effect more difficult to reach. You may target
specific areas that are more "troublesome" for eg. dark
spots, acne scars etc. by simply working the product in
these areas longer or more often per week. Light peelings
of dead skin the day following an initial treatment are
rare yet appropriate and indicate that you got a very
deep level treatment. If this happens simply apply another
thin layer of Step Two. |
 |
| Frequency of Use |
 |
| 1x per week: |
|
Super sensitive (thin, dry, brittle, irritated) skin types start with weekly treatments and then increase frequency as the skin tolerates it. |
| 2-3x per week: |
|
Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination skin types start by using
Microdermx 2x per week and then increase
it to 3x a week if you are looking to aggressively improve
skin conditions. |
 |
As a Daily Exfoliant
Microdermx can also be used daily as an
exfoliator to help expedite the process of improving skin
tone. To do so, simply dampen skin and briskly rub cream
in for only 20 seconds - Rinse and apply Step Two.
