Youthful Essence

Everybody strives to delay the aging process and thus there is a proliferation of treatments and surgeries that promise to make one look younger. One of the most popular anti-aging treatments nowadays is microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a series of treatments that restores youthful skin in key areas of the body such as face, neck and hands. It makes skin glow with a fresh radiance because it deeply exfoliates the skin with the use of little crystals that are abrasive against the skin’s surface thus eliminating dead skin cells and revealing young skin underneath. For a single treatment one may pay a price ranging from $100 to $150.

Not everyone has the money to pay for an expensive treatment like this one. A marketing company partnered with skin care experts to solve this dilemma by introducing the Youthful Essence Personal Microdermabrasion System.

This skin care system promises to turn back the hands of time and restore youth by taking years off your skin. Youthful Essence focuses on bringing the benefits of microdermabrasion inexpensively to the home.

Youthful Essence is a product of Guthy-Renker, a marketing company, and its endorser is a popular televison actress. Dean and Amby Rhoades, two skin care experts who happen to be husband and wife, developed Youthful Essence. The Youthful Essence Personal Microdermabrasion System comes with a Resurfacing Cream, a Resurfacing Tool and an application sponge.

Dean and Amby Rhoades owned a salon in affluent Beverly Hills where most of their clients were celebrities. The personal microdermabrasion system was originally intended for their clients who wanted to experience the beauty of the microdermabrasion therapy in their own homes. What they produced is said to be revolutionary because it has made an expensive and popular beauty treatment available for everyone. Now everyone can enjoy microdermabrasion and at a much cheaper price.

What Makes It Effective

Youthful Essence is different from many other over-the-counter age defying products because its products contain ingredients that are similar to those found in professional spas and beauty salons. The Resurfacing Cream that exfoliates dead skin cells contains micronized crystals that gently but effectively exfoliate skin. It is rich with vitamins and antioxidants, such as Safflower Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Wheat Germ Oil, Carrot Root Extract, Wheat Germ Extract, Wheat Bran Extract, and Beta Carotene.

The Youthful Essence Resurfacing Tool is a battery-powered device shaped like a wand with an attached scrubber. This easy to use tool is utilized after applying the resurfacing cream. It gently massages and exfoliates the skin. The soft sponge applicator helps to evenly distribute the Resurfacing Cream.

When the treatment removes dead skin cells, it also takes away wrinkles, deep scars, signs of sun exposure, and also refines skin pores. In a way, it is like your skin is revitalized. Another good thing about this product is that it is not just intended for the face. One can use it on other areas that commonly show signs of aging such as the hands and neck. The product claims that positive change on skin will be visible after the first application.

How to Use

The Youthful Essence system only has one product to apply to your skin. The Resurfacing Cream. This works well as a standalone treatment, but also the manufacturers say that it is safe to be included in one’s overall skin care regimen so it can be use alongside other skin care products such as moisturizers or cleansers. The website recommends using it with Susan Lucci’s line of skin care products.

To get the maximum benefit of this beauty product there are only four simple steps to follow. The Youthful Essence website provides a comprehensive and useful step by step guide on how to use the entire system so users are sure to get the maximum benefit from it-- from when to use on the face, neck and hands and what to do if skin irritation occurs. There are also instructions for extended use including specific notes on what to do and expect from week one to week four. Their website is a great resource.

With the Resurfacing Tool, the website cautions users not to apply too much pressure when using it to avoid skin irritation. Users who suffer from other skin problems such as acne and rosacea are advised to first ask the opinion of a dermatologist before using the product.

What others say

Youthful Essence is great because it gives one the feeing they can have an expensive treatment without the high cost. It gives one the privilege of not having to spend too much to get young looking skin and even avoid the hassles of trips to the salon. However, the product is also a testimony that nothing beats the real thing. Microdermabrasion is a procedure normally done by skin care experts. The process can be a bit complicated for ordinary people. A close look at Youthful Essence may convince you that microdermabrasion at a spa, although more expensive is worth it.

On the downside, Youthful Essence can cause skin irritation and redness on people with sensitive skin. There is also a risk of skin discoloration and even swelling of the face. Many suspect the reason some experience this may be due to the claim that the product contains artificial scents and colors.

Where to Buy

Youthful Essence Personal Microdermabrasion System can be purchased at its official website. The package costs $29.95 and aside from the 30-day introductory supply that they offer, every order comes with a free gift.

Users who are not satisfied are protected with a 60-day money-back guarantee. By returning the product within the 60-day period, users get full refund minus the shipping and handing cost. Like any beauty product, Youthful Essence will work well for some, but it’s probably not for those with sensitive skin.
