Diminish dark spots

By now you have figured out that I am not a professional blogger.  I don't remember to take pictures that might go along with what I want to talk about (unless it is of Em).  So why would today be any different?  It's not! 

​Before I get started I want to mention that I have not been offered or taken any compensation for the products that I am discussing.  I don't want anyone to thing this is an advertisement for any company, it is not.  If I have not used a product and loved it I will not recommend it.   

The other day, I was having a conversation with my mom  and she mentioned how clear my skin is.  After thinking about it, I thought I should share how I keep my skin so clear.  She wanted to know so maybe others might want to know too. 

Just so you don't misunderstand, I am 55 years old. My skin has not always been this clear.  I had a bunch of dark spots and still do but they are much less pronounced.  I also noticed that I was getting those dreaded fine lines. 

I have always said that I will not age gracefully.  I am going to fight it kicking and screaming.   So I searched products that would diminish those spots and lines.  I have tried numerous products and some work but not well.  Until I found the one product that I just love.   

This photo is horrible but to show my skin with nothing on.  There are not products on my face here.  

This photo (while not great is better) show after using the PMD and full makeup.

This product is great, it only takes a few minutes once a week.  Don't think that by using this that you will magically have clear skin, you won't.  There are some things that you absolutely have to do.  The most important is sunscreen.  A sunscreen that is specially formulated for your face.  You can use any type you like .  I use Revision Skincare Itellishade Original antiaging tinted moisture with sunscreen.  I love this product it goes on smooth, is a moisturizer built in (saves a step), a the tint is great (some days I skip foundation).  This is not the main product I want to introduce you to though.  

The main product is PMD Personal Microderm.  It is a small handheld device.  There are a number of grinding heads (that sounds so harsh) that you work your way up to the highest.  It does not hurt, sometimes I feel a little tingling afterwards but nothing much.  It is so easy to use, I wish I could figure out a way to do a video while I am using it.  I am sure I will eventually figure it out.  Once I do I will post it for everyone.  I use this once a week and it has really made a difference.  Also after using this device any products you use absorbs so much better (hint moisturizer and sunscreen).  

The companies web site has how-to videos and lots of information about the product.
