The main cause of acne is the buildup of dead skin in the pores. Excess dirt and oils, along with sebum can create a foundation for acne-causing bacteria. Washing and exfoliating your face are important parts of having clear and healthy skin; sometimes this may not be enough. Microdermabrasion may be a wonderful solution for those who are dealing with difficult acne and blackheads. The best skin care products available cannot always give you the results that want or need in dealing with blackheads, especially when they are applied on top of dead skin. Blocked pores cannot be adequately cleaned with many of the products available because they cannot penetrate the deepest layers of the skin where blackheads can sometimes form. Microdermabrasion can clear off dead skin and make the skincare system you are using much more effective. When new and healthy skin cells replace the old and damaged cells you will notice that your complexion will be noticeably improved. This is one of the easiest and safest ways to enhance your complexion.
