Make your own Makeover

Everybody wants to be pampered, whether they are pampering their face, body, hands or feet. And even though I do recommend seeing a professional, such as an esthetician, massage therapist, or manicurist, I do know they can get expensive. Here are a few tips and products to try at home to give yourself at-home treatments.

For an at-home facial, try putting wet warm towels in the microwave or a crock pot to get them nice and warm. Cleanse your face for 1-2 minutes and then remove the excess product with one of the warm towels. Next, use a scrub or an alpha hydroxy acid peel to slough off those dead skin cells, again removing the excess product with another warm towel. For a more invigorating facial, follow with a mask. Be sure to select one that would be beneficial to your skin and suitable for your skin type. Leave it on the advised time – usually about 10-15 minutes for most masks – then remove with another warm towel. Spray your face with the correct toner, and follow with your eye cream and moisturizer. You’ve given yourself a quick facial.

Murad’s Optimal Health Kit Peri-menopausal and Menopausal Skin is great for easing the hard-to-deal-with symptoms associated with menopause. Also try their Vitamin C Infusion System, which is formulated with pure 30% Vitamin C and works great on hyperpigmentation and the other effects of sun damage.
