Microneedling

Tired of having endless trips to aesthetic clinics to have facials or maintain an acne clear skin? Wanting to save money and just do an at home microneedling treatment instead? You can! What Microneedling Is

Microneedling, or otherwise known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. These wounds from the microneedling can make your body produce more collagen and elastin which helps heal your skin and make you look younger. (Source: “Microneedling” by Nicole Hollimon from Web MD; https://www.webmd.com/beauty/what_is_microneedling)

Microneedling is done using a handheld drum or pen-shaped device (electrically powered) and has tiny needles that make precise microscopic punctures in the skin and they help stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally through a process known as dermal remodeling. (Source: “Microneedling” from Yale Medicine; https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/microneedling) . It has a very little downtime but visible results, according to Yale Medicine plastic surgeon Tito Vasquez.

Benefits

Microneedling is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as acne scarring, surgical scars, other scars, burns, pores, etc. It also helps with issues like alopecia, hyperpigmentation, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, stretch marks, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles.

Dermarollers vs. Dermastamps: Which Is Better?

There are two types of microneedling: dermarolling and dermastamping – they both use fine needles to gently puncture the top layer of your skin which triggers the wound-healing process and stimulates the collagen and elastin production. (Source: “Derma Rolling vs. Derma Stamping” from Poosh; https://poosh.com/derma-rolling-vs-derma-stamping/)

Though these two both use fine needles and have similar benefits, they are different from each other by how you use them. A dermaroller has a barrel head covered in small needles and used in back and forth rolling motion. This, however, could cause tram track scarring. A dermastamp , on the other hand, has needles that are located on a flat head and meant to create patterns on your skin. It works better than a derma roller on smaller areas (e.g around the lips).

Moreover, many people find that a derma stamp is easier to clean than a derma roller. A good example of a dermastamp is the Banisher (now in its newest version – Banisher 3.0) – I only have the 2.0 version of this microneedling tool.

The Banisher has thin gold plated titanium needles. its bristles push straight down into skin for better control. This tool comes in the safest and most effective size to stimulate collagen. (Source: “Banish Kit 3.0” ; https://banish.com/products/banish-kit-2-0)

Do’s & Dont’s Before And When Using The Banisher

Do’s

Wash hands and clean face

Fill cap with 70-90%% rubbing alcohol to sanitize the bristles for 5 minutes then air dry for a minute

Stamp Banisher 3 times per area of skin you wish to treat.

Apply Banish serum.

Use SPF during daytime

Always store Banisher with its protective cap.

Use this once every 2 weeks or once a week

Dont’s

Don’t use over active acne or if prone to keloids.

Do not apply makeup or exfoliating products until the next day or longer if skin is still sensitive.

Do not share your Banisher with anyone

Welcome to the Novel Economy

Some advice on Content & Video Marketing.

On average, it takes 66 days for new behaviors to become second nature. We have forever changed in the days, months, years following the global disruption of 2020. You can throw your business playbooks, operational checklists, and mindsets out the window.

This is now a Novel Economy. True to its definition, it’s a time that’s new and unusual. It’s not a new normal or a next normal.

While all this is scary for some organizations, it can also be wondrous for those who have long wondered about the possibilities of new ideas, new opportunities, new inventions. There is no going back to “normal”, but perhaps “normal” was what was wrong in the first place?”

What does this mean for an organization’s existing digital transformation?

“Even before the disruption caused by the pandemic, there was a feeling that we were reaching a tipping point, both in terms of the global economic model and how organizations were modernizing. Many established organizations have been too focused on using IT to maintain operations and improving existing processes, instead of creating value to innovate and remain competitive.

The disruption has laid bare the shortcomings of existing business models and transformation efforts. And during the scramble to plug holes and fix what’s broken in their operations, they’re identifying areas that have been missing, including opportunities for real business transformation — both operationally and from a performance perspective, as well as keeping up to speed with today’s digital-first markets.

For too long, stakeholders have only been able to think iteratively to keep going, daunted by more ambitious thinking. “We can’t try that”….“That’s too big”….“That will never work”…“We haven’t got the money or resources”…“We won’t get approval.”

Well now you have no choice — you have to respond now and your response will dictate your performance and define your legacy in the future.”

How do organizations begin to adapt? 

“The challenge ahead of us is still huge. The disruption from the virus is still very much with us and is likely to be with us for at least the next 14-18 months. However, there are three key phases that organizations must pass through—Survive, Alive, and Thrive— starting with survival and the creation of a special task force.

This cross-functional team has a hypersensitive focus on reopening the economy by agreeing on immediate investments to be made without politics or agendas. This team works for the greater good to banish infighting and the delays that have historically prevented critical decisions from being made. This team is focused on triaging and setting out roadmaps for the coming days and weeks to support the transition.

The first phase, “Survive”, is a direct response to what’s going on. There has been a massive blow to our markets and how we operate. Organizations are currently treading water, just trying to keep their head above it, making sure everyone is safe, while at the same time trying to keep everyone productive and everything operational.

The next stage is “Alive”. That’s where you really think about the everyday behavior of customers and employees and look into how you scale up operations. What does your back-to-work plan really look like? How do you redesign an office to accommodate social distancing? Where do you put hand sanitizer, testing kits, and so on? How do we ensure the safety of your customers? For years we’ve said to everyone you must become a tech company. Now everyone must also become a health company.

The third stage is “Thrive”. That’s where you begin to rethink the future and begin building the right infrastructure to adapt to this Novel Economy.”

HAIR VINEGAR IS VERY FRENCH; A HOW-TO FROM CHRISTOPHE ROBIN

Hair vinegar is an opportunity. Think about it: the thrill we once got from “French girl beauty” stories has been tragically dimmed by their sheer ubiquity online. Embryolisse Crème Concentrée, Bioderma micellar water, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, all worthy, all on repeat in those endless posts. (Here’s one I wrote for Beautygeeks, trying to deviate from the formula: French Pharmacy 2.0 Beauty Finds.)

Thanks for watching!Visit Website

Christophe Robin has been working with Catherine Deneuve since the mid-90s

So it’s a glad shock that Paris-based hair stylist Christophe Robin – pronounced row-ben – has a product that real-life actual French women adore, but that is not yet a regular part of our North American routines: hair vinegar.

An old wives’ ritual of rinsing your hair with vinegar after shampooing, “vinegar is antibacterial, keeps your scalp clean, closes the cuticle of your hair and enhances the shine,” explains Robin.

His Christophe Robin Hair Finish Lotions (from $48 CAD at sephora.com; $40 USD at nordstrom.com) are luxe fruit, flower or herb-infused vinegars that you “keep in your shower” says Robin, “and very last, after you finish rinsing your hair, just pssht, pssht, pssht and that’s it. It’s something very normal to use.”

Yeah. Normal if you’re FRENCH.

Catherine Deneuve with legendary colourist Christophe Robin

The vinegars were the brainchild of Robin’s business partner and muse, Catherine Deneuve, so who wouldn’t be pleased to take hair-care cues from one of the world’s legendary beauties?

Deneuve, whose colour Robin has been tending since 1995 after she saw his work on Claudia Schiffer, is the perfect test subject for new haircare products.

“When you’re an actress you have to do your colour every six to eight days,” he explains; film stars need their colour to be consistent throughout a three- or four-month shoot.

Catherine Deneuve and Christophe Robin

“She’s not a real blonde, obviously,” he says, dropping this earth-shattering bomb as an afterthought in the middle of our conversation. (Am I the only person who didn’t know this?) “The lavender oil, the cleansing mask with lemon, are two favourite products she’s using since decades, since 20 years, and the prickly-pear seed oil mask.”

Ah, the prickly pear seed oil mask. Formally known as the Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask With Prickly Pear Seed Oil ($94 CAD and $71 USD at sephora.com), it smells fantastic and magically revives even the saddest and most straw-like damaged hair.

In North America, his colour reviving Christophe Robin Shade Variation Masks ($70 CAD and $53 USD at sephora.com) are best-sellers. The Baby Blonde, a pearlized, purple cream banishes ugly brass from blonde and silver hair.

Our favourite is the Christophe Robin Multipurpose Regenerating Balm with Prickly Pear Seed Oil (from $48 CAD and part of this $50 USD travel kit at sephora.com), which smooths hair and is great on dried-out hands and cuticles. Robin himself uses it on his face, feet, hands and hair and let me tell you, the man has lovely skin.

But for the most French-Girl-cool points, try the best-selling-in-France-but-not-here vinegars, and feel way ahead of the crowd.

over to you

Is hair vinegar a new concept to you? Or is it something you remember from your childhood?

Have you ever tried a hair vinegar? Or would you?

New Hyundai i30 N 2017 review

Image 1 of 30 Image 1 of 30 31 Oct, 2017 9:15am Lawrence Allan The new Hyundai i30 N may lack the power of some hot hatch rivals, but it makes up for it in almost every other way Hyundai has gone to great lengths to banish its image of being a bargain basement carmaker over the last decade, with a range of competitive, quality small cars, family cars and SUVs on the books. But up until now it’s shied away from performance offerings, leaving European rivals to dominate the market. Finally, after the hiring of ex-BMW M division head Albert Biermann in 2014, Hyundai has launched its ‘N’ performance sub-brand with this: the i30 N. We were impressed with it out in Germany earlier this year, yet this is the real acid test on our broken and scarred British tarmac. It’s also our first chance to try the cheaper 247bhp base car, which is £3,000 less than the 271bhp Performance Package model we drove previously.  • New Hyundai i30 Performance Package review Hyundai’s engineers did hundreds of laps of the Nurburgring during development of the i30 N, though thankfully the company isn’t feeling the need to shout about it too much. The quietly aggressive bodykit, wider wheelarches, bigger wheels (18-inch items on this car, an 19-inchers on the top-spec model), red details and large twin exhausts give the game away to enthusiasts, but those after showiness and extravagance from their hot hatch will be better served by cars such as the Honda Civic Type R.  Image 2 of 30 Image 2 of 30 It’s a similar story inside. Hyundai has transferred over the solid yet unexciting cabin of the standard i30, with only the drive mode selector on the steering wheel and a pair of nicely supportive sports seats added as distinguishing features. But that’s the same as you’ll find in most rival hot hatches, and the i30 N’s cabin is well-finished, spacious and intuitive to use. We’d forgive you for having some scepticism about the i30 N’s driving experience. Even putting the fact that this is Hyundai’s first hot hatch to one side, the standard i30 is far from an entertaining steer. That’s what makes the N all the more surprising when you get behind the wheel and find out that it is, in fact, a true challenger to the current hot hatch elite. With the Civic Type R, plus four-wheel drive competitors like the Ford Focus RS pushing beyond the 300bhp mark, the i30 N looks down on power even in Performance Package form. But the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine seems almost as energetic as more muscular rivals, partly thanks to the short gearing. We drove the standard and Performance Pack models back-to-back, and while you can notice slightly more pull at high revs in the latter, the former feels just as fast most of the time.   Image 3 of 30 Image 3 of 30 It rips right up to the redline with urgency and with almost no lag, meaning you can rifle through the gears with the i30 N’s slick manual shift and find yourself covering ground at a surprising rate of knots. It’s not the most exciting hot hatch powertrain on the market, but the switchable exhaust uses sound generators to add to the hard-edged snarl in the mid-range and deliver a cacophony of pops and bangs. We also love the rev-matching tech, allowing quick and smooth downshifts without the need to heel-and-toe. It’s happy to quieten down at a cruise and deliver diesel-like low-rev torque, too.  • Best hot hatchbacks on sale The engine is strong and willing, then, but the handling is even more impressive. Doing without the Performance Package means this car lacks the electronic differential and bigger brakes, yet it hasn’t suffered too much. While the diff in the pricier i30 N keeps it locked into its chosen line out of a bend no matter what you do, even this standard car grips and holds on keenly. The steering is quick, direct and surprisingly feelsome, boosting your confidence in the car’s abilities.  Image 5 of 30 Image 5 of 30 Adding to the tremendous feeling of agility is the impressive body control, with the i30 N feeling remarkably well tied-down regardless of which mode you have the suspension in. The drive modes are endlessly configurable, unlike in some rivals, so you can leave the adaptive dampers in Normal mode and ramp up the throttle response, exhaust noise and steering weight separately. We’d recommend doing this, as the i30 N’s ride is firm but well damped in the standard setting – ramping up to Sport or (in particular) N mode simply makes it too stiff and easily unsettled for British B-roads. The standard car is better in this area than the Performance Package, though, as the slightly smaller wheels remove a layer of harshness from the i30 N’s bump absorption, and reduce road noise.  The i30 N’s rounded abilities and exceptional sharpness make it one of the finest front-wheel drive hot hatches around. That’s quite something, considering most manufacturers have been perfecting their offerings for years. If you’re planning on doing some track driving then the Performance Package is the one to go for, but on the road the base car offers very nearly as much excitement for significantly less cash. At £25,000, it undercuts basically every rival, making it look fantastic value for money.  5 Whether it’s the base version we have here, or the kitted-out Performance Package, the Hyundai i30 N is a genuine surprise. It excels on UK roads, making up for its slight power deficit with a willing engine and sublime agility. It has the talent to give the Honda Civic Type R a run for its money with less divisive styling to boot. It’s also as easily to live with as a regular i30, despite a slightly firm ride, and the icing on the cake is that it even looks great value.

I nonetheless stay with a 16gb cellphone. It isn’t not possible, however it’s hard. The international isn’t moving closer to adapting to low storage, it’s increasing it. So what do you do while you run low on storage? Delete pics and apps? NO! Back the whole thing to the cloud? You ought to, but you’d want steady get right of entry to to it to retrieve records. What else can you do? Transfer it for your laptop thru cable? Sure, but who’s got the time for that. You could maybe use an OTG pen-drive… but no longer many people have those. With Type-C USB ports becoming more and more famous, there’s one greater solution. The Hyperdrive Type-C connection kit. It without difficulty suits on your pocket, and expands your cellphone’s opportunities. Plug it in, and also you’ve got a normal USB port, and two card-readers for SD and MicroSD cards. You can now literally plug any USB drive into your smartphone and either transfer information to it, or retrieve information from it. Or you could use the SD card reader to pull photographs off your DSLR. What’s higher is that the Hyperdrive’s Type-C works with laptops too. With most new laptops having a Type-C port for fast transfers and faster charging, the Hyperdrive plugs into your pc too, no longer simply increasing the wide variety of ports on it, but even allowing you to easily switch statistics between your computer and phone.

So what's the best portable drive you can buy?

Taking an entire garage with you may be less vital than it as soon as was, but there's nevertheless masses of use instances where it is wished. There are numerous options available which include traditional tough disk in addition to strong-state drives (SSDs). Here we assessment and rank the first-rate ones. Most portable USB drives are powered by means of the connected laptop, so you can use them on the move without the want to plug into the mains or use batteries. Some may even connect your telephone or tablet and will let you extend garage that way, or will let you switch or open files. Capacity Even within the smallest portable drives you’ll in all likelihood find are 128GB in length, that's enough to area hundreds of CD albums in lossless FLAC layout, or maybe extra in decrease exceptional MP3 or AAC formats. Off-loading your song series alone from a pc to a transportable power can be a godsend in freeing treasured space if your computer has restricted garage. Another popular utility of transportable storage is for preserving important backups of your data hung on a PC or laptop. You may be capable of keep a really perfect a twin of your whole laptop’s inner power, on standby and equipped within the occasion that the laptop is lost or its force should malfunction. Alternatively, you may pick out simply to returned up the maximum critical files and documents out of your consumer libraries, consisting of text documents, snap shots, movies, music and saved e-mail. Some portable drives include software which can assist automate this technique, retaining your preferred directories in sync each time you plug within the power or by using a every day time table. Performance Now that USB 2.Zero has been banished from all self-respecting storage, we discover USB three as the standard for connection, letting those portable drives carry out as quickly because the little disks inside will permit. This means that after transferring your music or video collection to or out of your PC, you can anticipate round 100MB/s study velocity (and generally the same for writing, due to the fact unlike flash storage generation the examine and write speeds have a tendency to be greater symmetrical). Compare this with the older drives the use of USB 2.Zero, which would restrict speeds to around 35MB/s, or simplest one-0.33 the rate. So in actual phrases, your 100GB of media documents might take near an hour to switch with USB 2.0, or beneath 20 minutes the use of USB three.0. If you’re likely to be storing or backing up many small documents, be conscious that common performance will plummet in view that tough disks generally tend to choke on smaller documents. So while big documents may zip throughout at 100MB/s, the smallest will probably journey at much less than 1MB/s, or one hundredth that velocity. USB 3 is perplexing, as USB three.0 became retrospectively renamed to USB three.1 Gen 1. There’s additionally a newer version, USB three.1 Gen 2. This doubles the capacity throughput from Gen 1’s 5Gb/s to 10Gb/s. In megabytes according to 2nd, those equate to 625 and 1250 respectively. Pretty rapid, then. In fact, the quickest SSDs pinnacle out at round 550MB/s and this speed is highly depending on the tool you’re connecting it to. Protection A rugged outdoors could be on hand in case you want the liberty of being capable of throw around the unplugged force with less worry that it's going to harm the unit; and greater importantly lose your facts. Look out for shock-resistance rankings which includes the United States military MIL-STD-810F 516.Five (Transit Drop Test). This means that it need to face up to being dropped 26 times onto a hard ground, once directly to each face, facet and nook, from a peak of one.22m. Flash storage - more usually called SSDs - can continue to exist extra brutal remedy, and some portable drives are even waterproof. If you had been to accidentally drop a portable SSD drive in water, then so long as the port covers are firmly closed, it's going to work high-quality to use it after it's been absolutely dried. Some drives have an IP water-resistant score like phones. Reliability It’s hard to say definitively which manufacturer makes the maximum dependable tough drives. While there’s a large difference among the generation used in traditional tough drives and SSDs, each have a restrained lifespan, and that is why warranties are fantastically brief - usually or 3 years. What’s vital is which you have a well-notion-out backup process and you don’t rely on any unmarried drive to keep valuable documents. Ideally you must have 3 copies: one on a PC or cellphone / pill, one on a backup power and one in the cloud. Value For many customers, a portable storage drive can be an unavoidable commodity, and price could be the deciding element.

HAIR VINEGAR IS VERY FRENCH; A HOW-TO FROM CHRISTOPHE ROBIN

Hair vinegar is an opportunity. Think about it: the thrill we once got from “French girl beauty” stories has been tragically dimmed by their sheer ubiquity online. Embryolisse Crème Concentrée, Bioderma micellar water, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, all worthy, all on repeat in those endless posts. (Here’s one I wrote for Beautygeeks, trying to deviate from the formula: French Pharmacy 2.0 Beauty Finds.)

Christophe Robin has been working with Catherine Deneuve since the mid-90s

So it’s a glad shock that Paris-based hair stylist Christophe Robin – pronounced row-ben – has a product that real-life actual French women adore, but that is not yet a regular part of our North American routines: hair vinegar.

An old wives’ ritual of rinsing your hair with vinegar after shampooing, “vinegar is antibacterial, keeps your scalp clean, closes the cuticle of your hair and enhances the shine,” explains Robin.

His Christophe Robin Hair Finish Lotions (from $48 CAD at sephora.com; $40 USD at nordstrom.com) are luxe fruit, flower or herb-infused vinegars that you “keep in your shower” says Robin, “and very last, after you finish rinsing your hair, just pssht, pssht, pssht and that’s it. It’s something very normal to use.”

Yeah. Normal if you’re FRENCH.

Catherine Deneuve with legendary colourist Christophe Robin

The vinegars were the brainchild of Robin’s business partner and muse, Catherine Deneuve, so who wouldn’t be pleased to take hair-care cues from one of the world’s legendary beauties?

Deneuve, whose colour Robin has been tending since 1995 after she saw his work on Claudia Schiffer, is the perfect test subject for new haircare products.

“When you’re an actress you have to do your colour every six to eight days,” he explains; film stars need their colour to be consistent throughout a three- or four-month shoot.

Catherine Deneuve and Christophe Robin

“She’s not a real blonde, obviously,” he says, dropping this earth-shattering bomb as an afterthought in the middle of our conversation. (Am I the only person who didn’t know this?) “The lavender oil, the cleansing mask with lemon, are two favourite products she’s using since decades, since 20 years, and the prickly-pear seed oil mask.”

Ah, the prickly pear seed oil mask. Formally known as the Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask With Prickly Pear Seed Oil ($94 CAD and $71 USD at sephora.com), it smells fantastic and magically revives even the saddest and most straw-like damaged hair.

In North America, his colour reviving Christophe Robin Shade Variation Masks ($70 CAD and $53 USD at sephora.com) are best-sellers. The Baby Blonde, a pearlized, purple cream banishes ugly brass from blonde and silver hair.

Our favourite is the Christophe Robin Multipurpose Regenerating Balm with Prickly Pear Seed Oil (from $48 CAD and part of this $50 USD travel kit at sephora.com), which smooths hair and is great on dried-out hands and cuticles. Robin himself uses it on his face, feet, hands and hair and let me tell you, the man has lovely skin.

But for the most French-Girl-cool points, try the best-selling-in-France-but-not-here vinegars, and feel way ahead of the crowd.

over to you

Is hair vinegar a new concept to you? Or is it something you remember from your childhood?

Have you ever tried a hair vinegar? Or would you?

“Oh my goodness, it’s really working!” That was my reaction a little over a year ago as I was staring at myself in the bathroom mirror looking at my very supple skin…I was speechless! At the time, I was battling my first major breakout in years, and no matter what I tried I could not get it under control. Not until incorporating a derma roller from Banish Skincare into my routine, and since then I’ve had nothing but success in keeping my skin clear.

Now, if you’re wondering why I’m back here to talk about micro-needling it’s because I recently started breaking out again. I pretty much tried using every product in my skincare arsenal to get rid of the blemishes and blackheads that were popping up all over my skin and once again nothing seemed to be working.

Since nothing kills your confidence quite like acne I immediately hopped back online to the Banish Skincare website to get my hands back on their Banish Starter Kit with hopes of their products and devices getting the job done at clearing up my skin again. What can I say…I’m a creature of habit! And though I love testing out new and popular products, I prefer to stick to brands I know and TRUST!

Long story short…IT DID!

If you’ve never heard of Banish Skincare I previously wrote an article on how much my skin recovered from a bad breakout HERE. But to catch you up to speed, the Banish Kit is a skin care system, but it isn’t like anything else out there!!! It’s armed with 6 holy-grail skin care tools and products to prevent and combat your skin’s main concerns. The best part!? Banish ONLY sells freshly made, natural and organic products. So their products are created and shipped in the very same day.

My past Banish starter kit included their Banish Vitamin C Oil, Vitamin C facial mist, Banish Derma-Roller [more on that later], a pore smasher, pumpkin mask and an activated charcoal mask. This time around I noticed they had a new product on the market called their Banisher 2.0 and since I fell in love with micro-needling thanks to using their derma roller and Banisher stamp I had to also get my hands on this little guy to see whether or not it truly was worth the hype. By the way, it is!

Micro-Needling

I remember when I first heard of micro-neelding and assumed how it must obviously be another one of those gimmicky products that we see being promoted by ‘influencers’ on their Instagram feeds and YouTube channels. But I promise you, after using the Banish derma-roller I can definitely say micro-needling WORKS!!! It truly is an effective way to fade acne scars, resurface fine lines and smooth skin, by just using a needle-covered roller or stamp to literally puncture your skin to stimulate collagen production. But for my micro-needling newbies who may still be a little lost here’s how it works…

Heres How Micro-Needling Works?

Micro needling involves the use of a small paint brush device or a pen which contains several fine-tip needles. These devices are used to inject the needles all over the face to create microscopic injuries on the skin. These tiny punctures from the needles triggers the healing process and forces your skin to repair itself. When this occurs collagen production increases and overtime will help to fade spots, smooth skin, minimizes pores and blackheads.

The great thing about this treatment is there’s really no significant downtime. Immediately after the procedure, you may notice that your skin feels sensitive. But don’t be alarmed by this. Inflammation and itchiness is completely normal and should go away within the hour after. Oh, and if you’re wondering if it hurts, trust me it doesn’t. Sure, anything involving the word “needle” sounds scary and best avoided, but this little guy is far from being painful.

Results

Now I have to be honest with you guys…you will not see immediate results. So don’t count on your acne scars to fade over night. It takes time for collagen to build. But with continued use of the Banisher and/or the Banisher 2.0 once weekly I promise you will start seeing results after about a month.

I had quite a bit of scaring and texture on my cheeks and now I can barely see them. Though I do think using the Banish Skincare tools was what helped to kick start my journey to clear skin I do also believe their Vitamin C serum and pumpkin mask also played a major role in helping to fade any scars and hyperpigmentation. Either way, I’ve been doing my VICTORY DANCE ever since incorporating Banish back into my routine.

Banisher 2.0

Now the above photo shows the three different micro-needling tools from Banish that I use regularly in my skincare routine. But the two that I personally recommend are the derma-roller and the Banisher 2.0. Though the Banish roller is what I’ve always used in the past, I now find myself reaching more for the new Banisher 2.0 out of convenience and also because they claim its even more effective than using their derma-roller.

It’s more effective because the finer and sharper bristles of the Banisher 2.0 are now pressed straight down which allows for a more even downward pressure whereas the roller presses at uneven angles causing micro-channels that aren’t as narrow as they could be. The bristles on the Banisher 2.0 were also improved by using 24k gold coated titanium bristles. Not only is this more bacteria resistant but it also allows for more collagen production on the skin while also increasing your skins ability to absorb more product.

While I’m all for drugstore priced skincare I think by now you all should know I personally use mostly department store brands and products and it’s because I’m willing to spend more on my skin to achieve a smooth canvas. But despite the fact that the Banish Acne Scar Starter Kit is US$195, I 100% recommend it and think you should definitely give it a shot if you’re struggling with a breakout or with scarring.

I understand the fear of investing in products that don’t guarantee results but the kit is worth every penny and after putting their products to the test for two different breakouts, at completely different times, I believe the Banish Acne Scar system has definitely proven to be a trustworthy acne solution.

Micro-needling in my opinion is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get more youthful looking skin. Not only does it make your skin look rejuvenated but it can also treats acne, and helps to reduce scarring! So if you’re looking for real results, I highly suggest giving it a try. Talk Soon. Nuff Love, Natasha ♥
