Life saving health and beauty treatment: facials
Remember that the skin is our largest organ and we have to take care of it, says Bratschi. "By cleansing, exfoliating and properly hydrating the skin on a regular basis, you will vastly improve the health and condition of your skin and in turn the overall health of your body," she says. Facials that concentrate not only on the face and neck, but also on the hands, arms, feet, shoulders, décolleté and scalp coupled with aromatherapy and lymph drainage have the benefits of helping your immune system and removing bodily toxins and wastes, she adds.
How often should you get one?
Get a tailored facial monthly to maintain healthy skin, says Bratschi. However, the need for a facial can increase depending on a number of different factors such as "if you travel a lot, live in a large or densely populated area, are exposed to more pollution and contaminants, live in a hot or cold climate, [and/or] have a stressful job or personal life," she says.

I believe that for the busy person who really does not take care of their skin this is a very good article. We know that they will not heed to all the suggestions, but, if they take one or 2 points away it will be to their benefit. Face it, if they are busy, they are probably not going to read the entire article anyway!!

Wow! Good luck convincing my husband to let me get a massage once a week! I would love to, but I usually only get one every several years. I work a very stressful job, so perhaps it may be worth looking into!

My husband had to help his mom with physical therapy years ago and learned how to massage (I know I'm very lucky) so I get one at least twice a month. I do need to see a dermatologist though. I have never been to one and I am 37 so I think I'll get right on it!

Totally true, I just start to have massages this year and I must say that it really helps me a lot to fight stress and to remove those stubborn stress nodes.

At lot of these are really pricey, but I love to give myself facials at home. So easy to do and so much less expensive.
