Avon ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Dermabrasion System.

As I claim myself to be a microdermabrasion addict, I have been longing to try this system from Avon. It is the ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Dermabrasion System. Imagine my delight when this product was one of the products up for the CEW Beauty Awards, and I was given a sample to test at the Beauty Product Demonstration.

I love this innovative product. It is a two part system (in one) that let's you customize the intensity of the system as you use it. Every few uses, you turn up the dial to get a different level of dermabrasion crystals. It is really ingenious.

Check out the Avon commercial that pretty much explains it all best.

I have been using this system for a few weeks now and I feel that using it twice a week really works for me. After three times at one level, I turn up the dial for the next level.

Take a look at the dial to the left. You squeeze just a small quarter sized amount from center of the tube to get the correct amount every time. Sometimes you will notice only one hole open and sometimes it will be open twice - that is the magic of the system.

Treatments vary from gentle to more intense depending on what numver on the dial you are.

I love the way it feels on my skin, not too harsh but with a feeling that it is definitely working. My skin is definitely more vibrant, soft and radiant as it polishes away dull, tired and dead skin.

Pick up ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Dermabrasion System on Avon.com for $28.00. this one will be one that I will be ordering and using as part of my skin care regimen from now on.
