Light Therapy (average spa cost: $1,000 for eight sessions)

You may have heard of (or even tried) light therapy at a spa to treat acne. Blue light promises to kill bacteria and help reduce blemishes, while red light aims to fade acne scarring and fine lines. These same light treatments can be done at home with ANSR: BEAM, $185, which has both blue and red lights and complementary skin care products.

Red light therapy can also be used to combat aging. Tanda has light therapy treatments for acne and anti-aging. The company claims the treatment improves skin texture, color and tone while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. N.V. Perricone Light Renewal, $335 also helps with skin tone and texture, especially around the eye area.

If you're anything like me, you're tight on time and on money. I wish I could go to the salon and get pampered everyday, but that is just not an option with my schedule. Products like Pout Lip Plump and Oxygen Peel masks let me unwind at home, with out having to sacrifice time or money!
