Category: Derma Roller

Back in 2014, Kim Kardashian shocked the world of social media when she uploaded a picture of her face covered in her own blood. No, it wasn’t a crime or an accident – she had simply tried out, for the first time, a Derma Roller, which has 9 acupuncture-sized needles that inject your face with your own blood. Now why would anyone voluntarily do this? This method, also known as micro-needling, is meant to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers to smooth the skin. After five years, this method is still being practiced, although it’s been made less extreme and more pain-free – even DIY, at times – than it was for Kim.  

What those engaging in this method are using now is dermarollers, another form of micro-needling which uses a mini wheel covered with hundreds of tiny needles to lightly prick the face. It still sounds horrifying, I know, but, when used properly, dermarollers are working wonders in fading fine lines, clearing acne scars, and evening out skin tone.

Dermarolling

 

This instrument creates micro pathways with its tiny needles so that products can better penetrate and be absorbed by the skin. With a larger needle – say 0.5mm – you can start stimulating would healing. The tiny pricks it creates around the skin give the scar space for the wound-healing response to kick in. Afterward, you grow new skin which is smoother, more even, and even plumper.

Who is dermarolling best for?

 

Anyone can use a dermaroller, but it’s especially good for those who have acne scarring or larger pores or for anyone who just wants to tighten their skin. If you’re dealing with scarring, you’ll want a larger needle, but if it’s just for your pores, a thin, short needle will do the job.

However, if you have eczema, psoriasis, or warts, dermarolling isn’t for you. In addition, anyone who struggles with acne currently shouldn’t dermaroll over cystic skin or an open wound, spreading bacteria. Finally, those who use retinol should not mix it with dermarolling. If you want to experiment with dermarolling, be sure to stop using retinol four or five days before you try it.

What kind of preparation do you need to do?

 

Dermarolling may draw blood, so make sure you start out with skin clear of oils or dirt. It would be best to cleanse with a foaming cleanser and to finish off with toner to have a balanced pH. Just before rolling, treat your skin with antiseptic cleanser. 

The dermaroller itself needs to be stored somewhere clean; lay it on a paper towel, and soak it in an alcohol-based solution to clean it once a week.

How do you actually use the dermaroller?

 

The goal is to create channels horizontally, so you’ll want to roll the dermaroller horizontally over your forehead, cheeks, and chin, going back and forth. Next, roll it vertically on the forehead up to three times, and lastly, go diagonally across the whole face. It’s always best to move from the center outward and on the nose, to work downward.

Using skincare products, especially anti-aging ones, after rolling is ideal. Maybe even try a low vitamin C serum to stimulate the skin. Try to use your dermaroller at night so that you’re not going out into the sun afterwards.

Does dermarolling hurt?

 

Compared to when it was first introduced in 2014, it’s more uncomfortable than painful, but the larger your needle the more potential for it to be painful; however, the point isn’t for you to press it into your skin. Roll lightly, being aware that it should just feel uncomfortable, not painful.

When the seasons change, it’s a great idea to change your skincare routine as well. Using the same products and routine all year long can be ineffective and even harmful to your skin as the weather changes. Check out our autumn skin care tips to keep your skin from aging prematurely and looking great.

1.     Use a More Soothing Cleanser

During the summer months, you most likely use a more aggressive cleanser to combat the sweat and extra oil your skin naturally produces in the hotter months. But as the weather cools down, it’s a good idea to switch to a gentler cleanser to avoid drying out your skin.

2.     Increase Your Use of Moisturizer

Moisturizers are one of the best face care products out there. Because your skin doesn’t produce as much oil in cooler weather, you might want to also consider adding an additional moisturizer or a good face serum for fall to your skin care routine.

3.     Take a Closer Look at Your Skin Care Routine

If you love using exfoliators or face masks, make sure to track how often you use them. If you tend to use these products often, think about using them less during the fall and winter. These treatments can strip your skin of the little oil it does produce and dehydrate the skin. Another tip is to start to use products that contain antioxidants that build collagen, such as products with natural vitamin C. These products contain nutrients that will help to naturally keep your skin healthy.

4.     Introduce Oils

Even if your skin produces an above average amount of oil, it still might not be getting enough to stay properly hydrated. Whether you prefer essential oils or oil-based skin care products, applying soil can help you skin stay soft and youthful.

5.     Look for Changes in Your Skin

We all look at ourselves in the mirror, but we often miss key signs that our skin isn’t at its best. Pay close attention to regions of your skin that are prone to dryness so you can catch the early signs of dehydration. This will allow you to fight it quicker so it doesn’t get further damaged or even start flaking!

6.     Keep Using Sunscreen

 Even when it’s cold out, the sun’s UV rays can still do significant damage in the fall. Think about using a lighter weight sunscreen, but make sure to keep applying it as a part of your skincare routine for ultimate protection.

7.         It’s All About The Eyes

The area around your eyes is the most sensitive part of your face. Which is why it’s so important to take care of your eyes to prevent premature signs of aging. Finding a good hydrating eye cream is key for preventing these signs of aging, so find a good product and make sure to use it daily.

We all want to start off the school year on the right foot, and having an upgraded back-to-school skincare routine is a great way to do that! You want to make sure you’re focused on your studies and not on your skin issues, so we’ve got the guide for how to get your best skin ever as you go back to school.

Get Committed

It can be easy to forget to do the basics before going to bed when your life is busy with studies, but it’s important to make it a priority to move all your makeup and thoroughly wash your face before bed. If you tend to fall into bed after a party or pull all-nighters to study, it might be a good idea to set your skincare products in a highly visible location instead of shoving them in a drawer or caddy far away from your bed. Cleaning your face after a long day not only allows your skin to recover but also helps you prepare mentally for what the next day will bring!

Don’t Compartmentalize  

Don’t just think about your skin as something you need to focus on at night. Think about what’s going on with your skin during the day as well. Autumn air can dry out your skin early, so moisturizing once in the morning or before bed might not be enough to keep your skin hydrated. One of the best fall beauty tips is to use one a good hydrating spray this season to keep your skin glowing all day.

Be Scientific

There are loads of new advancements in skincare, and if your routine hasn’t changed at all in the past year, have a look to see what the latest treatments are for your skin conditions! Whether you have issues such as breakouts, scars, or signs of aging, there are loads of new developments out there such as:

·        More natural formulas

·        Different active ingredients

·        Fewer fillers

·        Faster results

Certain products such as hyaluronic acid and squalane oil are for sale and can take your skincare routine to a whole new level.

We know that it’s always hard to say goodbye to summer, but there’s one positive: your skin will be relieved to have a break from the endless heat and damaging UV rays. Summer weather can do a lot of damage to our skin, but fortunately we have a great way to repair your skin: introducing vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid) into your skincare routine! Here are the top three reasons vitamin B5 for skin is the perfect product to use after a summer in the sun.

1.     Moisturize

A common misconception is that since summer is more humid than other months, that means our skin is more hydrated than it is during the dry, winter months. In reality, given how hot summers get your skin is even more likely to be dehydrated, as we sweat through our pores due to the heat. A good way of seeing if your skin is dehydrated is to gently feel the skin with your fingers. If your skin feels papery, scaly, or just appears more wrinkly than normal, that’s a good sign your skin is dehydrated. B vitamins (including vitamin B5) help the skin retain moisture so it stays hydrated, smooth and healthy.

2.     Rebuild

We all know how destructive UV rays can be on the skin, and how it can damage our skin and cause premature aging. But apart from rigorously applying sunblock, it’s hard to completely prevent exposure when we’re spending so many hours outside. Luckily, some of the best face serums out there include vitamin B5 and can help repair damage the sun has done to your skin during the summer. With regular use, vitamin B5 can help the skin to regenerate itself after prolonged sun damage.

3.     Protect

Not only can vitamin B5 help repair your skin after sun damage, it even strengthens the skin barrier itself. This barrier protects the skin from bacteria that lead to inflammation and acne, and gives your skin a healthy glow. With winter approaching, it is the perfect time to repair and strengthen your skin. Check out and see our vitamin B5 serum for sale and incorporate it into your daily skincare routine to maximize skin hydration! This will help keep your face as gorgeous as possible.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE THE ORIGINAL DERMAROLLER

200 PRECISELY ARRANGED NEEDLES

The dermaroller 200 gives you an especially even result with the 200 needles lined up in 9 neat rows at its head; compared to similar products, this number is quite low, but because of this, your skin has a lower resistance. As a result, the needles effectively pierce the epidermis (your top skin layer) with just a light pressure.

FINEST STAINLESS STEEL

With something that punctures your skin, you want the most hygienic, non-bacterial option there is, and this is why we use only the highest quality stainless steel for the dermaroller. Additionally, the needles can be made extra sharp and fine in order to pierce the skin with just a gentle touch – nearly pain-free!

 

GENTLE PUNCTURING

The needles used in the dermaroller system have been manufactured in Germany under the strictest scrutiny, so there’s no doubt that quality control is top-notch. As a result, they cause the least amount of irritation as they puncture the top layer of skin, removing old scales to be replace by healthy, glowing, new skin.

LIGHT PRESSURE IS ENOUGH

Since the needles are made with the best materials and under the highest quality, they need the very least amount of pressure to get the job done. The result of the gentle punctures is skin stimulated to regenerate skin cells and remove old skin scales. In addition, the less stress on the skin, the better, and less pressure means less stress.

EASY TO HANDLE

The dermaroller was formed for to be easy to use. The handle rests comfortably in the hand and is extremely light, making it easy to control and treat your skin precisely to produce an even result and a radiant complexion.
