Micro Needling

Derma Roller

See what others think about derma rolling
I first heard about derma rolling, or micro-needling from a video on YouTube. This is where you take this tool that is covered with many high quality titanium needles on it and roll it all over your face. These needles penetrate your skin creating small microscopic channels that allow your facial products to work that much better. As well as stimulating collagen and elastin,

To be honest, I was not too sure if I wanted to be rolling a tool with a whole bunch of needles on my face. It did not look to me, like it would be a fun experience, so I decided to pass on it. I do not even remember what made me decide to give it a try, but I ended up buying one. This was also something I began using when my PMD was out of commission and I found that it did help with controlling my acne. Whatever pimples I may have had when I rolled, would disappear either the next day or within a day or two. The following day I do have some peeling, but I just put a little vitamin E on those parts. I have to say that after using it, my skin dose look brighter, more radiant.

Derma rolling can help with fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scars, large pores, stretch marks and even with hair loss. A derma roller can have between 180-1000+ needles and there are different needle lengths depending what results you are looking to achieve. Before you buy one, I would suggest that you do your research about the different needle lengths to be able to choose what length would work best for you. Also, head over to YouTube to see how to use the tool. You have to make sure to disinfect it with Rubbing Alcohol of at least 70% for 15 minutes before and after use. As this does penetrate your skin, you want to make sure that no one else uses your derma roller. Each person must have their own.

Fem Dophilus By Jarrow Formulas

Yeast Infections are quite common among women, yet it is an embarrassing condition. Yeast is a fungus that normally lives in the vagina in small numbers. A yeast infection happens when there is an overgrowth of yeast. Most yeast infections are caused by a type of yeast called Candida albicans. Three out of four women will experience one in their lifetime.

Symptoms of a yeast infection include, intense itching, soreness, and burning when going to the bathroom. Anyone who has suffered from one knows just how uncomfortable, and miserable the symptoms can make you.

For about two years on and off, I suffered from a yeast infection. That was so not fun! I went to my doctor who prescribed Diflucan. It got rid of it and I thought that was the end of it until it came back about two months later. I went back to my doctor and she prescribed something esle, which I can't remember the name. I did that treatment and again things were ok until I got another yeast infection a month later. I went to the pharmacy and got an over the counter treatment. It would work, only to return a few weeks later. And so it went on like this. Then sometime last year as I was searching for something that would cure this infection, I happened upon some articles about probiotics and that is when I stumbled up on  Fem-Dophilus by Jarrow Formulas. I chose them (out of others), because they seemed to be the most seasoned wth over 25 years of research and clinical studies.

Within the first week of taking it I noticed a difference. By the second week of taking it, the infections was pretty much gone. I kept taking it until I finished the bottle. That was 9 months ago. I have had not one yeast infection since.

Vitagoods Spin Brush

Spin for Perfect Skin

The Clarisonic is one of those things I really wanted to try. I heard about it around the time I wanted to get the Personal Microderm Device (PMD). I could not get them both and in the End, the PMD won as I felt it would suit my needs best. Then a few months after purchasing the PMD, I was on YouTube and I learned about this brush by Vitagoods. It's Called Spin For Perfect Skin. I was very excited. I bought the Spin For Perfect Skin brush after I stopped using my PMD (needed to get more discs). I needed something that was going to help with my acne and helping to keep my face clean and clear.Yes, I know, it is not the Clarisonic and I have never used one so I can't compare the two. However, from other people who have used both, they say it is a cheaper alternative. I must say that I love this brush. I was so excited when I received it in the mail. I immediately went upstairs and used it. My face felt so clean, smooth, and refreshed. 
        Now, I will caution that at first you may want to use it for just a few short minutes. I thought I had tough skin, but because it felt so good on my face I used it for a little too long and the next day there were some tender and rough patches on my cheeks, chin, and the corners of my nose. So just watch out for that. Using this brush, my skin is brighter, my pores have reduced in size and it just feels good.

       The brush is waterproof so you can take it into the shower. It is lightwieght and feels comfortable in my hand. It comes with two brushes for your face. One for cleansing and the other for exfoliation. I use the cleansing brush once, sometimes twice a day, and the exfoliating brush once a week. It also comes with a third bigger brush. This one is for your body. I love to use this with my favorite body wash/scrub. It comes with a pumice stone for your feet, which I do use, but not very often. It uses four (4) AA batteries, which are not included. Although, I would have preferred that it could be plugged in to recharge (as their Mini Pro 360 Brush), it has been about four months or so since I got it and I have not replaced the batteries yet! There are seven different colours to choose from. It retails for $100. However, you can get here on Amazon for about $40!
