In the past few years, there has been a range of new methods and techniques that are being used to revitalize facial skin. Gone are the days, when a facial was considered as the ultimate facial care regime, because today, science has taken over and there are brand new methods of making your face shine.

One such technique is known as skin polishing procedure or microdermabrasion – if the word would be broken up, it would consist of three parts – micro, derma and abrasion. Derma refers to the skin and abrasion is a method by which the dead skin cells of the skin are rubbed away. The method basically uses instruments that will create the effect of abrasion on the skin, while keeping it really gentle. The process will scrub away the thicker layer of your skin, which is the outer most and if often really uneven. When this layer is scrubbed away, the softer and more even skin that is hidden just beneath becomes visible, giving you a glow. This procedure is many a times called as face polishing or body polishing depending on the area that is being treated.
