Yes, we all can afford some kind of fabulous facial, and it doesn’t have to come from a day spa.Facials don’t come cheap. An average facial costs about $75. And this is what basically happens. Your skin receives a deep cleansing. Exfoliation, or the removal of dead skin cells, is next. Massage follows. There is extraction of impurities like blackheads.

Face Serums And How To Use Them 2008-04-11 12:24:00 Serum or cream? That's a skin care choice that many women become confused about. Usually, women with oily skin, select the face serum, because it is lighter and won't clog pores. Those with dry skin, pick the face cream because it's heavier and provides moisturizing effects. But not always....If you want to battle the signs of aging, like wrinkles and sagging skin, always opt for the serum. According to New York City dermatologist, David J. Goldberg, the face serums are more potent. "Creams usually contain less than 10 percent of active ingredients; serums have up to 70 percent," he says. So, in other words, you are getting more bang for your buck, with a serum.Here are 3 top-notch face serums:Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Supplement, 1 fl. oz, $60. for all skin types.

Emu Oil For Softer Younger Skin 2008-04-17 19:34:00 If there's one word you need to remember, it's this one. Emu. Emu oil could someday hold the key to eternal youth. But for the time being, it can improve the skin you're in because this oil is an excellent emollient with strong transdermal properties. In other words, it can nicely penetrate the skin's layers.

But Australian aborigines were said to have discovered the benefits of extracting this oil thousands of years ago. And what researchers have come to learn is that there is something in the oil that is compatible to human skin.Leigh Hopkins, PhD. explained it in this manner. "The fatty acid composition of
