With salons closed for those living in locked down states, now is the perfect time to explore your DIY beauty treatment options. From dyeing your hair to tinting your own brows, there are many things you can do without the help of a professional. Another is derma rolling.
A derma roller contains micro-needles that make small incisions on the surface of the skin. This trauma starts a process of repair, in which your body begins to produce more collagen and elastin, which keeps your skin bouncy and firm.
According to Micro Glow, the simulation of collagen also encourages the breaking down of scar tissue, which in turn can help with acne scarring. It also works wonders to decrease pigmentation and improve skin tone, leaving you with a healthy glow.
If you’re interested in trying derma rolling for yourself, Micro Glow is currently offering POPSUGAR Australia readers 40 percent off its derma rollers with the promo code POPSUGAR, which is available until 11:45pm on September 24. Shop the extensive range of derma rollers, which come in a variety of colours including white, black, pink and clear.
Micro Glow uses high quality and medical grade materials like titanium in the manufacturing of its derma rollers, and all of the devices include small needles. According to the brand, this is super important to note, especially for those just starting out on their derma rolling journey as bigger is definitely not better in this case.
“Since most people using an at-home Derma Roller (i.e. our customers and hopefully you) are not professionals, giving them a professional level tool for them to use on themselves at home is, well, kind of irresponsible,” reads the Micro Glow website.
“Beauty therapists are trained on using Derma Rollers with much bigger needles because it’s their actual job. Selling large needle Derma Rollers to someone with no knowledge or experience is a bad idea and one that is probably going to ruin their face.”
Micro Glow also has a bunch of handy content on its website for you to access while shopping for your derma roller. Discover how to choose the right size derma roller, or the mistakes to avoid when using the device. Happy derma rolling!
