More and more people are getting more aware of the importance of maintaining skin health and beauty. The beauty business is constantly evolving and there are a lot of skin care products offered in the market. It’s easy to find aesthetic clinics and get treatment whenever we want. However, some people wish to do treatment, but they do not have much time to go to the clinics. That’s why they choose to have a DIY skincare routine.
Combining skincare products with beauty tools will maximize the benefits to the skin. Using a roller, for example, helps us penetrate the skincare cream deeper into our skin. Derma roller is a common beauty tool people are searching for.
A derma roller is a beauty device originally used by dermatologists to help rejuvenate the skin and aim at treating acne and reducing the aging effects. It is also called micro-needling. Derma roller appears as a device with a row of tiny microneedles that can stimulate collagen production. That will result in the improvement of skin elasticity and reduce the aging effects such as wrinkles or fine lines. Derma roller also focuses on treating age spots, scars, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, stretch marks, and large pores. Having this stuff and doing the rolling at home is considered cheaper and more convenient.
Direction to use derma roller
To get the maximum benefit of a derma roller, users need to follow several steps. Those are:
- Sterilize the device first before use and do it again after use. It is either sprayed with alcohol or washes with warm water.
- Wash and pat your skin dry
- Prepare your skin, and you can even wear gloves before rolling the derma roller
- Roll derma roller over the face, for example, your forehead, roll it back and forth around four to five times. Do it over other areas and do it carefully to avoid injury.
- Sterilize your derma roller, wait until it’s dry, and put it back in its container.
- After rolling, you can start applying serum to your face.
Once a week of using a derma roller is enough, and you may need to replace the roller every one or two months (only if you use it regularly). You can roll it for around two minutes. It takes around six to twelve weeks to see how it works. In two weeks, you will find your skin smoother, and you will see the result of pore size reduction in four weeks. In eight weeks, you can start saying goodbye to wrinkles and fine lines.
Although there are a lot of derma roller products you can buy in the market, you need to be careful in purchasing one. Buying from a trusted seller is always wise. It is safe to buy a derma roller with a needle length of fewer than 0.5 millimeters. Any needle length of derma roller above that size may lead you to risk of skin damage as it has to be done by professionals.
