Skin polishing, also known as microdermabrasion, is an aesthetic procedure to bring back the natural glow of your skin. A correctly done polishing treatment cleans away the dullness-causing dead skin layer from the surface of our skin. The result is baby soft and glowing skin. This super relaxing treatment is done at a dermatologist’s clinic through the use of various chemical peels like lactic acid or glycolic acid peels. You can also get it done at various spas or beauty salons using natural or herbal ingredients. A body polish treatment lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour. Facial skin is much more delicate. So, face polishing takes anywhere between 8-10 minutes. In this time, your skin is deeply exfoliated and massaged. Ayurvedic skin polishing also detoxifies your body. Skin polishing treatments can be done at home too. You can use store-bought skin brightening kits or come up with your own DIY.
