DIY Anti Ageing Treatment

I recently tried a few non invasive anti ageing treatments which actually left me looking fresh.

The first thing I tried was DIY derma roller.  You can buy derma rollers and topical hyaluronic acid to mix in with your favourite moisturisers and use after you have treated your face with the derma roller.  Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in your skin and depletes with age, it plumps the skin and moisturises from underneath.  The derma roller is a small hand held roller device which you roll across your face with some pressure in one direction and then the next.  This pierces the upper epidermis and superficially damages it so that it is forced to repair itself.  The skin will then begin to produce collagen to repair the damage, this is another natural component present in the skin that depletes over time.  It is a good idea to look for creams containing collagen.  If you are afraid of pain, it is advisable to use a numbing cream before completing this step.  Then you can remove the numbing cream if you have applied and start to apply your serum of cream which will absorb more efficiently due to the damage made by the derma roller.  You skin will sting and appear sunburnt for around 20-30 minutes after the treatment.  The next day the dead skin may begin to peel, so a gentle exfoliator is recommended along with a high SPF sun screen.  If you want to speed up the peeing you can get an AHA cream, use lots of moisturiser.

This treatment can be used one a month or once every two weeks, depending on how sensitive your skin is and you can get different needle lengths on your derma rollers.  Always start small and build up.  Not only will this treatment improve the appearance of fine lines, but it will also help with blemishes and acne.
