What is your opinion of dermo-rollers. Marketed as a way to increase collegian and elastin. Poking thousands of tiny holes in one's face looks like it would only cause damage, but thought I would ask. thank you SO much for all of this information. I have started my own program based on the ideas I have obtained here by getting myself on a skin care regimen and plan another two months on it until I have an evaluation done. Just the consistency has improved my face dramatically. Thank you!

I’m going to link you to an answer I wrote a few months ago but still stands for help on the derma-roller issue. Check out my advice about dermarollers and home or spa dermaroller systems.

 

Products can really help with certain problems when you find the right ones, use them consistently and adjust carefully. I’m really happy that you’re doing well.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
