Cult Instagram brand and celeb favourite, Silky Bae, have revealed that their iconic BaeVac (£39.99) has become so popular with consumers seeking a professional level microdermabrasion at home, that soaring sales have meant that they now sell 1 unit every 90 seconds. The BaeVac’s microdermabrasion head provides a solution for common skin complaints, including shallow scars, blocked pores, fine lines and unbalanced complexion. The silver head was designed to replicate the microdermabrasion techniques used by skin care clinics, but at a fraction of the price. This system uses diamond treatment tips to exfoliate the skin. They work by removing the dead skin cells from the top layer of skin and stimulating the production of new skin cells. The BaeVac has three intensity settings and comes with a selection of 6 detachable heads, designed to do anything from hard to reach areas of your nose, to light mass extraction of blackheads on your cheeks. Each technique delivers improved skin tone, the reduction of pore appearance, and makes skin smoother, clearer and rejuvenated. Available from silkybae.
