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. And if you have, or even if you have not, a trip to the spa is an amazing experience, lavish, decadent, relaxing, pampering, and simply awesome. Of course, you get what you pay for, most certainly. But many spa treatments promise that your skin will be amazing afterwards, and that by frequenting their spa your skin will always stay firm, elastic and supple, which is true, but can really become costly over time.  True this is, but at what costs? If you were to visit a spa once per week for a facial, you would spend nearly $400 per month assuring that your skin was youthful and glowing. My wife is a skin care professional—and has worked in the spa industry for years, so this is first hand information here—you don’t have to shell out hundreds per month on spa trips to make your skin look and feel amazing.

The more affordable substitute

Rather, use effective and more affordable, clinically proven wrinkle creams and eye creams to achieve the same results. The best eye creams and wrinkle treatments cost about the same as one trip to the spa for a full month supply. You can easily cut your skin care costs to 1/4th by substituting the frequency of your spa trips for proper facial hygiene, including using the right cleansers and sunscreens, and effective wrinkle and eye creams that show results within the first month.
