Do you look in the mirror and wish you had clearer, smoother, or simply healthier facial skin? If so, these are all microdermabrasion benefits!
But what is microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion sands off the thicker top layer of your skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production. It can even out skin tone, remove fine lines and dark spots, and help with scarring, like from acne.
Do microdermabrasion benefits sound interesting? You aren’t alone!
According to DocShop, microdermabrasion is one of the most commonly performed dermatology treatments in the United States. 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 at home.
I like to use all-natural microdermabrasion at home to save money versus going to a dermatologist. Microdermabrasion at home, DIY style, is not only far cheaper, it’s also a lot more convenient! Plus, with this homemade microdermabrasion paste, I know exactly what is being used on my face.

Oh, and if you’re wondering “what does microdermabrasion paste do?” It does pretty much the same thing, but with all-natural ingredients, the procedure at your dermatologist would do. It gently sands off that damaged top layer of skin.

Meg says
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.
Jeanette says
Is there something I can use besides lavender oil? My eczema reacts badly to it
Beck says
Please don’t use coconut oil on face. Instead have a talk with a local esthetician.

Tina says
Hi I would love to try this besides water and coconut oil, what are the other 2 ingredients? I think I’m confused. Thank you so much
Teresa says
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.
Sian says
1/8 tsp coconut oil?? That seems far too little. Should this read 8 tsps???
Kelli says
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
Marie says
How often should this product be applied ?
Lien says
I do this twice a week. Because baking soda will dry up your skin and use moisturizer after cleaning your face. Your skin will be soft smooth and look radiant. I omit lavender oil because I am allergic to it. People don’t want to use coconut oil can substitute with olive oil or vegetable oil.
Crystal says
Can we use sweet orange essential oil?
Wanda says
Be careful with citrus oils as they create a photosensitivity to the skin its applied to
Kelli says
Hi Wanda, You are right about citrus oils. 🙂 Kelli
Ann says
Can I mix this with something other than a wooden popsickle stick?
Suhasini says
I do not use essential oils. Is there anything else I can use instead?
Kelli says
Hi Suhasini, Not that I am aware of. Sorry. 🙂 Kelli
Iris says
How often should I apply the paste?? Weekly? Daily? Monthly?
Christina says
How often do I apply this?
Virginia says
May I suggest replacing the water amount for more coconut oil for a longer shelf life? Also, add some lemon oil for acne prone and sun spot scars
Kelli says
Thanks for the suggestion, Virgina! 🙂 Kelli
Cassie Ruiz says
How long does this last if I make it and put in in a tiny jar?
