Getting Rid of Acne Scars and Improving Your Overall Complexion

A little background story for ya, I didn't have the typical acne in high school instead it started......sophomore year of college, and bad acne as well. I went to the dermatologist and after using medication to help control acne I am left with the scarring and uneven skin tone. In the summer when I went to follow up with my dermatologist again he said I might want to consider 'Microdermabrasion'....... the word just LOOKS like it would be expensive haha. And to be quite honest, when getting it done professionally.... it can be (depending on what a you would consider 'expensive'). A place that I went to LUCKILY was working with Groupon so I spent $60 total for 1 session of Microdermabrasion when the original price was roughly $120.

LUCKILY FOR YOU GUYS I HAVE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
Olay's Microdermabrasion kit you can use at home $22.99 according to Walgreens.com
Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System
Not only did I do the research for a better price alternative, I have been using this product for the past few months and I LLLLOOOVVVEEEE ITTTT. My scars have minimized and my overall complexion is SOOOOO much better. Everyone who knew how my acne was said my face has improved dramatically.
Here's the thing you need to keep in mind, consistency. My complexion improved over time not after the first few uses AND you should only use it once a week, too much exfoliation could create more oil on your face (therefore more breakouts).

After your first few uses you'll definitely feel your face is smoother,
Over time your scars will minimize and you'll have a better complexion

I still have a little bit of acne scarring to clear up but this is definitely worth the $25 and I completely trust in this product, it has definitely helped me save A LOT of money on professional treatments.

What You Really Look Like

So after hours of being on one of my favorite websites, http://www.pinterest.com/, I came across this awesome website that will show images of other women similar to your size. All you need to do is go to...
http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html
You can select your weight and height as well as a few other options and the search engine will gather up images of women with similar features. I thought this was so useful in showing women how other people view them instead of standing in front of the mirror having "distorted perceptions".
