So day one. First time trying this micro-needling thing. I'm not afraid of
pain, not really nervous about this. I'm also not afraid of needles, so I'm okay
with this. This is the state of my skin right now. I only have a couple of active
acne. I'm excited to try this to see if this will work! Number one thing, start
with clean face, clean hands. It comes in a sterilized pack but you need to soak
your banisher in rubbing alcohol for at least five minutes before you use it,
every single time. Let's start with four to five light rolls. Okay. Three, four. You
can see my face is already getting red. It doesn't really hurt. The teeny tiny
needles break your skin ever so lightly. It allows the serum to absorb through
your skin much easier, also allows for collagen reproduction and for cell
regeneration to happen just that much quicker. It hurts a bit on the forehead.
It doesn't hurt so much on the cheeks. So you go vertical, horizontal, and diagonal
for about four passes each time. I have combination skin maybe because my
forehead is so much oilier. The hyperpigmentation on my forehead heals a
lot faster than it does on my cheeks and you're supposed to do this once every
two weeks. But also when you do microneedle, you're actually not supposed
to wear makeup that day. So once you're done with that, apply the serum and your
face is supposed to tingle. It's already kind of tingling right now
This is week two. I have been picking these. I've noticed that my skin is actually
quite flaky which is not normal for me, and I think that's because my skin is
being pushed up to the surface and shedding itself, which means that it's
healing faster. But in terms of hyperpigmentation I haven't really seen
anything yet. So the last time that I did this I think that I rolled over some
pimples and what happened was, and they tell you not to roll over pimples, and I
think it gave me some breakouts because I spread bacteria. So I'm going to be
using one of these sheets Korean pimple stickers, and I'm just going to stick it
so that I don't go over any pimples and spread bacteria. So smart right? And another
week down. Okay fourth week it says to do it once every two weeks but sometimes I
do it once a week. This, this, this, and this, all happened this week. They're new
pimples, but everything else is like, where did it go? I'm going to put a
mask over it so I know not to roll over it and spread the
bacteria. Right here, this gigantic one, no touchy.
I only ever use a serum when I'm rolling. I guess I'm worried that it is
a heavier serum, it's pretty thick. I mean I'm impressed so far. We'll see,
we'll see before and after if there's any progress. The pictures will tell
everything. In the starter kit, banish also provides these two masks.
This is the pumpkin enzyme peel mask andit smells just like pumpkin pie. In
between my needling sessions I will use these masks. The activated charcoal is to
clear up current acne and the pumpkin enzyme peel helps to remove the dead skin
and to encourage more new skin growth. Right now I'm going to use activated
charcoal clay mask, and so it comes in a powder form. I like to mix it with this
snail moisture soothing gel that I have. It's so jelly-like that I can create a
mask out of it. I've tried mixing it with water but I find that it's a little it's
a little too messy. Bloop. Having a moisturizing base is
really nice. It's really fun. It's kind of like mixing mochi, ah!
Once the skin feels a little tight, wash off, and then try to moisturize a bit
more after you use a charcoal mask. It's been about a month and a half of use
with I think four sessions of rolling and this is what my skin looks like now.
The results are seen right here, like it's crazy how consistent use is going to be
helping over time. You definitely have to be safe with it, but coming from
somebody who will try every acne gimmick under the sun this is one of the things
that I will continue to use, and I'm so excited to see the results from it. It's
crazy that this is something that you could do at home it really doesn't
involve chemicals or anything, it's just kind of like a small physical process
and you can yield results without having to pay much for it. If you guys have any
acne requests, anything you guys want me to try out, all the stuff gimmicky
stuff. I will try all of it! Let me know in the comments below what your requests
