Disclaimer: we aren’t knocking a good night’s sleep. It can mean the difference between a supercharged day at work and snoozing on the bus home… again.
But we’ll admit, getting our RDA of kip isn’t always possible. We’ve got people to see, places to be and Netflix series to binge on. And yes, sometimes we burn the candle at both ends. Here’s the good news: microdermabrasion could help you replicate the effects of a full night’s sleep.
This exfoliation treatment blasts away dead skin cells by spraying a thin stream of crystals onto your face or by using a special diamond-tipped pen. It’s pain-free and can even be relaxing.

1 It stimulates blood flow
Sleep stimulates the flow of blood to your face, drawing oxygen to the cells. This repairs them and can even leave your complexion smoother. In all its glory, microdermabrasion has the same effect. The scrubbing effect amps up your circulation, nourishing your skin and giving it a brighter look.

2 It boosts your complexion
Your body sends out growth hormones while you sleep, leaving your skin looking more youthful and rejuvenated.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, minimises the appearance of fine lines and superficial wrinkles for a brighter complexion. Remember to take your ID next time you go bar-hopping.

3 It makes your skin glow
Microdermabrasion takes off the very top layer of skin, along with any dead cells. This brings your newer skin to the surface. As there are fewer old skin cells left to dull it down, it gives you a well-rested look. Don't get us wrong: it's still best to get in a full eight hours. And with that in mind… we're headed off for a nap.
