MARY KAY TIMEWISE MICRODERMABRASION SET — $55


FACTS:
Comes in two parts — Refine and Replenish
Refine — A solution that contains aluminum oxide crystals.  This ingredient is commonly used in professional microdermabrasions.  Specifically, it is a crystalline material that is a perfect exfoliate.  Each particle performs a gentle, precise exfoliating action.
Replenish — A solution that smoothes, soothes and softens.  It nourishes with vitamins, anti-oxidants and anti irritants.
Application
Step 1 — Place a quarter-size amount onto fingertips and apply to clean, damp face using a circular motion.  Avoid eye area and direct contact with eyes, lips and nostrils.
Start by gently massaging onto your cheeks.  Move outward in and down to your chin.  Make sure to apply on the entire face all the way to your hairline.  Don’t forget your nose and forehead.


Time:  Massage for 1 - 2 minutes.  Keep moving.  Don’t stay on any one area too long.  Do not massage for longer than 2 minutes.


Rinse:  Splash clean with cool water.  Pat Dry.


Step 2 — Use a finger tip size amount of the solution on each treated area.  Smooth evenly until thoroughly absorbed.

Tips
For the most effective microdermabrasion, timing is the key.  Don’t overdo.  Make sure to rinse product off after 1—2 minutes, or sooner if necessary.  Do not massage for more than 2 minutes.
Make sure to apply on a damp face for easier action.  Consider apply Step 1 in the shower where your face is already clean and rinsing will be effortless.
It’s a perfect morning wake-up call.  But on your first application, you may want to use the Microdermabrasion Kit in the evening to understand how your skin reacts to the treatment.
Don’t forget to apply Step 2.  This is an essential part of the procedure.


Skin Smart Questions:
What is a professional microdermabrasion?  A professional uses a machine with a vacuum-like tube that simultaneously circulates aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin as it removes the dead skin cells.
Is the Refine step as strong as a professional?  It is not as aggressive as a professional treatment; however, the product does contain the same ingredient and will deliver significant improvement to the surface layer of your skin.
What will my skin look like immediately afterwards and the next day?  Immediately after, your skin will feel smooth, refined and have a fresh translucency.  It may be slightly pink but this will diminish soon after application of the Replenish step.  The next day, your face will retain its new smoothness and glow.
How often can I use the microdermabrasion kit?  You can use the kit 2—3 times a week.  For normal to oily skin, use up to 3 times per week.  For normal to dry skin use 2 times per week.  Do not use more than 3 times per week.
What other products should I use with the kit?  Follow your usual routine except avoid using acne products.
What are the long-term benefits of the Microdermabrasion Kit?  The textural benefits are apparent immediately.  In the long term, surface sun damage is erased, fine lines are reduced and skin tone appears brightened and evened.
When should a physician be consulted before using?  If you have severely sensitive skin, if you are on any type of skin medication or if you have a skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, chronic eczema, psoriasis, severe acne, rosacea, skin cancer, a facial tattoo or sunburned skin.
