Why I Love My Derm Roller
If you were to tell me that I would be into trendy beauty items, I would have told you that you’re delusional. Welp, 2 months later and I am a proud owner of a derm-roller and an at home facial steamer.
About 4 years ago I got a facial from a local gal here in Austin and she ended up using a razor on my face… she literally shaved my face. I walked away thinking oh my god… I just went to the damn barbershop. The next day I woke up with skin so soft it was INSANE. While I have not caved into the face razors yet, I did cave for the derm-roller which has changed my skincare game and I wanted to share it with y’all.
I use the derm-roller 2x a week and I have the .25mm length. The longer the length the less often you can do it. What it’s meant to do is regenerate the face cells quicker than your face normally would and the results are astounding.
Here’s my skincare routine on the days I derm-roll:
Cleanse with Eminence Milk cleanser (twice)
Tone with witch hazel
Derm Roll (see below for full term rolling regimen)
Apply a Vitamin E serum
Apply 111 skin illuminator
Apply day or night lotion
In AM I use Dr. Brandt Hyaluronic facial cream
In PM I use Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream
On the days that I don’t use the derm-roller, I will exfoliate using juice beauty (I do this every 3 days.)
Derm Roller Routine:
(After washing your face)
Apply a Vitamin C serum
Dip derm-roller in a small bowl of rubbing alcohol to disinfect it
Rinse with water
Use derm-roller on your face - I start with the forehead: 5 times across and then 5 times vertical (repeat on cheeks, nose, and chin)
Re-apply vitamin c serum
Dip term-roller in alcohol
Rinse with water
