Microdermabrasion Is An Intensive Exfoliation Treatment

Madonna turns 60 today, but you probably wouldn’t guess that just by looking at her.

Now, the “Like a Virgin” singer has her own skin-care line, MDNA SKIN, and a personal aesthetician to give her skin exactly what it needs. And, Tarin Graham, the expert behind her beauty, is revealing just what it takes to achieve Madonna-level skin.

Madonna’s 60 Most Iconic Looks

She told E! News, “There are several anti-aging treatments I do on Madonna’s skin, including microdermabrasion, photo facial treatment, micro-current and an oxygen treatment.”

OK, let’s break that down. Microdermabrasion is an intensive exfoliation treatment, in which a pressurized jet releases crystals to get rid dead skin cells that your exfoliating cleanser can’t get to. The result is a smooth, radiant complexion. The photo facial treatment (a.k.a. IPL therapy) uses a laser to target redness or discoloration in the skin. It’s commonly used for rosacea, sun damage and age spots. The microcurrent facial is known for its anti-aging properties. The instruments (like the NuFace Facial Toning Kit) emit low-voltage electric currents to stimulate collagen and elastin. And, the oxygen treatment infuses pure oxygen into the skin, increasing hydration and circulation.

“Oxygen Treatments are king,” she said in a statement. “I do this at the end of any treatment I give her—always after microcurrent.”

However, keeping up with Madonna’s facial routine is expensive—these treatments don’t come cheap. Luckily, the skin pro shared what you can do at home to get a similar glow.
