Introduction Are you considering getting started with microneedling at home? Then you've come to the right place. This guide is the first chapter of our 30 Day Microneedling Challenge , where together we learn – step by step – how to use microneedling in a safe and effective way. You may be reading this right after our private microneedling workshop with Environ on November 28th, or you may have found the blog later. No matter when you start, you can follow along at your own pace. Each blog post is written as a chapter in a small e-book that guides you all the way through your microneedling journey. 👉 You are not alone – there are many of us starting this journey together. What is cosmetic microneedling? Cosmetic microneedling is a skincare technique where tiny needles create microscopic channels in the top layer of the skin. This makes the skin more receptive to the active ingredients you apply afterwards. 👉 And here it is important to remember: Cosmetic microneedling itself does not create collagen. The effect only comes when you combine the treatment with active skin-improving products – especially vitamin A from Environ , which stimulates collagen and strengthens skin elasticity. In our 30 Day Microneedling Challenge, you will quickly learn to see the difference: your skin will become more receptive to your products – and over time, healthier, stronger and more resilient than ever before. It almost feels like turning back time. Cosmetic vs. Medical Microneedling It's easy to get confused about the difference between cosmetic and medical microneedling. Let us make it simple for you: Cosmetic microneedling (for home use) The needles are short (0.1–0.3 mm) and only work in the epidermis. The purpose is to get more out of your products. Perfect for daily or weekly use as part of your evening routine. Medical microneedling (clinic) This uses longer needles (0.2–1.5 mm) and an electronic needle stamp (we use Dermapen ) that goes deeper into the skin. It creates controlled microtrauma, which activates the skin's own collagen production. Ideal for acne scars, rough skin, lines and deeper wrinkles. 👉 In our 30-day challenge, we work in the top layer of the skin – safely, effectively and with a focus on maximizing product absorption. What are the benefits of cosmetic microneedling? When you microneedle at home, you get: Significantly better results from your skincare products Faster visible results in skin glow and texture Reduce enlarged pores, pigment and early signs of aging A simple method that you can easily integrate into your existing evening routine In our challenge, week by week you will notice how your skin becomes stronger, healthier and more uniform. What products should you use? To get the maximum benefit from cosmetic microneedling, we recommend: Vitamin A (from Environ) – stimulates collagen, evens out skin tone, strengthens skin elasticity and helps repair old and new damage. Hyaluronic acid – provides intense, deep moisture. Peptides and antioxidants – protect the skin, add glow and enhance the effect of vitamin A, while the peptides plump and strengthen the skin's structure. 🚫 Avoid strong acids or concentrated retinol immediately afterwards, as the skin is extra susceptible. How to use cosmetic microneedling safely at home It may seem a bit technical the first time you hold a roller in your hand – but it's actually very simple. Follow these steps: Cleanse the skin thoroughly – remove all makeup, dirt and oil. Make sure your roller is clean – when you open your Roll-CIT for the very first time, it is already sterile and ready to use. After each treatment, rinse it under lukewarm to hot water and air dry on a clean surface. Every 4th time, clean it thoroughly with Instrument Cleaning Solution to ensure optimal hygiene and extend the life of the tool. Gently roll over the skin – first horizontally, then vertically, and finally diagonally. You don’t need to press hard; the tiny microscopic channels do the work. Apply your serum – for example with vitamin A, hyaluronic acid or peptides. Finish with a nourishing cream – to soothe and protect the skin. 👉 Frequency of challenges: 0.1–0.2 mm needles: can be used daily 0.3 mm needles: 3–4 times a week In our 30 Day Microneedling Challenge, you choose whether you want to microneedle every day or four times a week for 30 days. Both methods give visible results – the most important thing is that you find a routine you can stick to. How to clean your Roll-CIT with Instrument Cleaning Solution (every 4th time) Rinse your Roll-CIT in warm water immediately after use. Fill the bottom of the packaging with Instrument Cleaning Solution . Place the tool with the needles facing down in the liquid for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Let air dry on a clean surface and store dry. Instrument Cleaning Solution is a specially developed cleaning fluid from Environ, formulated to disinfect and extend the life of your microneedling instruments such as the Cosmetic Roll-CIT and Focus-CIT. It contains disinfectant ingredients that effectively remove bacteria and built-up dirt without damaging the fine needles. 👉 Regular cleaning ensures both hygiene and optimal effect of your home treatments - and prevents irritation or impurities that can occur when using dirty tools. Advantages of Instrument Cleaning Solution: Disinfects cosmetic tools effectively Easy to use – quick and hygienic routine Extends the life of your Roll-CIT tools Prevents bacterial build-up Indispensable for daily and weekly maintenance Your 30-day journey to stronger skin When you start the challenge, you enter a journey where you will be able to see and feel the difference week by week: After a few days : the skin feels fresher and more receptive to your products. After 2 weeks : your skin will have a healthier glow and a more even texture. After 30 days : the skin appears stronger, more resilient and youthful – as if you have given it a little “reset”.
