Do you long for brighter, clearer, smoother, and all around healthier facial skin? If so, microdermabrasion may be right for you. Microdermabrasion sloughs off the top layers of your skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production. If microdermabrasion sounds interesting to you, you’re not alone.
According to DocShop, microdermabrasion is one of the most commonly performed dermatology treatments in the US. But guess what? You don’t have to visit a dermatologist to take advantage of microdermabrasion. Nope, I’m going to tell you how to make a DIY microdermabrasion paste and use it in the comfort of your own home.
Microdermabrasion is so attractive because it is noninvasive, pain free, quick, and highly effective. In fact, with regular microdermabrasion treatments, fine lines, blemishes, and dull skin can be improved. In addition, after receiving a microdermabrasion treatment or using the DIY microdermabrasion paste, moisturizers, creams, and other products you put on your face will be more easily absorbed and therefore more effective.
I much prefer to use this DIY microdermabrasion paste than visit a dermatologist. It’s far cheaper, more convenient, and I know exactly what is being used on my face. With this DIY microdermabrasion paste there’s no waiting weeks (or even months) for an appointment. Nope, I can make this DIY microdermabrasion paste and use it in under 10 minutes. So, hmmm, let’s see… I could fight traffic, wait in a doctor’s office for 30+ minutes, and fork over a wad of cash or handle the whole thing in the comfort of my own home? It’s a no brainer for me. I’ll go with the DIY microdermabrasion paste.
Bonus: Since this DIY microdermabrasion paste recipe makes more than enough for one treatment subsequent uses will be quicker and easier than ever!
Plus, I think you’ll be surprised at what’s in this DIY microdermabrasion paste. Go ahead, take a sneak peek at the ingredients. … Back? Yep, that’s it! Just 4 little ingredients one of which is water. It doesn’t get much simpler than that, am I right?
So, are you ready to get healthier skin? Make this DIY microdermabrasion paste now! No, seriously, right now… it won’t take but a minute. 🙂

Is there something I can use instead of coconut oil? My skin breaks out if coconut oil gets anywhere near my face.
Christine Moyer says
Try jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. For oily skin try grapeseed oil.

I am allergic to lavender, may I substitute the lavender essential oil with something else?
Erika says
Substitute with tea tree, camomile, frankincense or even lemon.

1/8 tsp coconut oil?? That seems far too little. Should this read 8 tsps???

Hi Sian, The directions are correct since it is such a small batch. You can increase it to 1/4 tsp if desired. Hope that helps. 🙂 Kelli
