Skin Products Are Not All Created Equal!

Is this Arctic Cold weather making your skin feel like the moisture is being sucked right out of it.   Do you have rough, cracked feet, heels, fingers and elbows?  You are not alone.  This cold, dry weather is really hard on most people's skin and people with normally dry skin suffer even more.   And the skin on our face is the most delicate, sensitive of all.   What's my point?  Good skin product is critical.  Legally products sold in drugstores or over the counter are limited in the percentage of active ingredients they can contain.  Doctor's offices can sell products that have a much higher percentage of active ingredients because they are sold under the Physician's medical and prescription license.  You probably already know that many products sold over the counter can be pretty expensive.  It is not unusual to spend 40 dollars or more on a face cream for "aging" skin..  For the same amount, or only slightly more, you can purchase from our office skin products that have the highest percentage of retinal, glycolic, hyaluronic acids etc. that are scientifically proven to protect and improve skin tone and elasticity.  It's a great idea for a Christmas gift, too.   Or if you don't know which product to choose as a gift for someone, a gift certificate is a great idea.  Do your research.   Good skin care products can make an incredible difference in how your skin looks and feels.

Christmas Gifts?

Can't figure out what to give your wife or girlfriend for Christmas?   In the past you've done the perfume, jewelry, scented candles, sweater thing, but you'd like something different?   Well, how about a gift certificate to the Spa?   I have never met a woman who wouldn't want to be pampered with a massage or a facial.,   We can even shape her eyebrows while she's here.  And you don't even have to be specific about what services you want to give.   You just give her the gift certificate and let her choose.   It's a win-win situation.   (You still have to wrap it in a nice box or bag, with tissue and ribbon though)
