How often do you use your Dermaroller?

9 years ago

There seems to be a wide variety of answers out there. I've been using my on my face and neck (.5mm) twice a week. Think I'll start using it on my upper chest too.

Just saw a video recently where the lady, who has a business in the industry, was saying to use it under and on your eye lids 3 times a week - building up to 5 times. Really? Your skin needs time to properly rebuild. Can your skin turnover speed improve maybe the more you use it?

I'm sure the answer may vary a bit depending on your skin thickness and what roller you're using.

I'm just curious really. I do like it and think in time it will see long term improvements. I've been following up with vitamin C and organic coconut oil. I'd like to pick up some rosehip seed oil.

I am going to wait on a derma roller until asking my derm what he thinks about them. I go in the next few weeks.

I use it once every week or two, but you're right that there are a lot of varying opinions. Like everything else, all things in moderation. I'm not aggressive with it so have never been concerned with damaging my skin. I've wanted to call our local medspas which use the treatment to ask how they schedule their appointments but because it would be disingenuous I haven't. DD does some work for one, maybe I'll have her ask the physician.

I use the derma roller on my chest and it completely cleared up some blemishes (for lack of a better word; it wasn't acne) that I had in one area.

Edited to add that everyone's skin is different and will tolerate skin care regimens/ treatments differently. My skin seems to thrive from anything I throw at it but DD's skin is more sensitive and she treats her skin accordingly.

How often do you use your airbath or does the novelty wear off??
Q

Hmmmm. My air tub is something I used almost every night! I love it, use it and never get tired of it. I find it quite easy with regard to maintenance as well (I also like bath oils to add to it which can leave a film on it). The nice thing is once I'm out, All I do is turn the hand held sprayer (at the edge of the tub deck) and using the hot water I quickly spray the perimeter of the tub for no more than 2 or 3 minutes and its spotless. It's always looks brand new - maybe because I use it every day or because I just run the hot sprayer over it as soon as I get out. It also has an automatic cleaner that blows the air "lines" clear so there is no water sitting around anywhere. It's an oceania 72" deep air tub. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

How often do you use your Miele steam oven?
Q
Comments (6)
I looked at the Miele website & the manuals for the two steam ovens listed there--these are newer than when we were making our appliance decisions over a year ago. For either one, it does not appear that you can select anything but 100% steam. I do not see any way in the manual to select convection only, zero steam or any other steam. It would seem that Miele's use of "convection" means that the heat source is not radiant but surrounds the food (with the steam). The manual says that you can change temperatures, however, the manual also states that your cooking containers must be heat resistant up to 212 degrees, implying that 212 is the maximum, which is consistent with 100% steam. Our Gagg combi-steam has one knob for temperature and another knob for selecting steam at 100%, 80%, 60%, 30% or zero. If you select the steam % & then click the temperature knob one click to the left for the "suggested temperature" setting, it will set a default temperature for it, 210 degrees for 100% steam on up to 330 degrees for zero percent steam. However, oven temperature may be selected from 85 degrees F up to 450 degrees.

How Often Do You Use Your Vent
Q
Comments (65)
"For those of you with significant blowers in your vent (i.e. 600-1200 cfm) -- do you have any kind of makeup air system?" We have 1600 cfm and no make up air. The kitchen is open (no doors) to 4 other rooms on the 1st floor and hallways and stairs to the 3rd floor. This is about 1500 sq ft plus 24 windows and 4 doors. Typically 7 more rooms are don't have their doors closed either. Oh - we have an 1825 house so it really "breathes". We use the vent all the time. In our old kitchen with the recirculating fan it took me awhile to figure out how all this dirt was collecting on the exposed interior brick. Yuck - grease and dirt!

How often do you clean your bathrooms/kitchen?
Q
Comments (20)
I wash my bathtub out every time I use it. I scrub the toilet every couple of days. I scrub the bathroom sinks and counters once a week. I clean the kitchen nightly. DH cooks too but cleans up after himself so no problem there. I fill up the dishwasher after dinner and he empties it after he's made our breakfast. All the floors get done once every 7 to 10 days. I do sweep/wet mop the bathroom and kitchen floors more frequently as needed. We do laundry the minute our laundry basket is full. DHS close user changes outfit twice in a day so usually we have a load by the end of the second day. Our office is messy fairly often. That is the one place that we allow for things to stay where they are until we're finished a project. Right now it's paperwork time again. But as soon as it is finished we put everything away and give the room a good scrub down. That's probably every two weeks. I keep my desk well dusted in the interim. DH not so much. Living room and spare room are vacuumed and dusted every 2 weeks along with the rest of the house. I have actually been able to keep up this routine for quite a while. Sometimes I look around in a semi shock when I realize I can keep up with my housework and work too. Before it would have been difficult just to sit up. Most of us have to really experiment based on our lifestyles home size and everybody's way of living in order to get a good cleaning schedule. If one can do it clean as you go is a good place to start. I've noticed that people keeping the house successfully tidy engage children at a very young age in taking part in the cleaning process. According to their abilities of course. I was semi-successful with this but my children are still very clean and tidy despite me.

Tina - I'm curious to see what your derm says.

Funny - My chest looks less than smooth these days (sun) and I always use foundation if wearing any type of scoop neck. I agree someone with more sensitive skin may have a different response.

Errant - I don't feel I have a high pain tolerance, but the .5mm doesn't bother me. No blood and feels a little like a sunburn afterwards. I will only do it at night so my skin has a break to start the healing process without makeup. I don't think I'd use anything higher on my face though. I watched a lady use a 2mm and she used a numbing ointment prior to rolling. She was wiping away drops of blood. Not saying that's bad, but I don't think it's for me!

Of course, make sure it's disinfected well and that there are no bent spikes.
