    I am sure that many of you who find yourselves reading this blog have experienced a trip to the spa before, and received a relaxing facial, or body wrap or massage.

    Proper Facial Cleansers are Key

    You need to cleanse your face at least two times per day. Avoid cleansers that use alcohol or laurel sulfate (a popular foaming ingredient that can dry out your skin). Also make sure that you buy a cleanser that is unscented (scents can dry out your skin as well). Finally, make sure that you use warm water and an exfoliating face cloth when cleansing.
