Facial Exercise (average spa cost: $2,500)

Get the benefits of a spa toning and tightening treatment like Thermage (minus the recovery time and possible pain) with an at-home facial exerciser. The FaceTrainer by no!no!, $200 claims to smooth away wrinkles, lift sagging skin and improve skin tone up to 97 percent in 60 days. Basically you wear the mask and perform a series of exercises (the mask provides resistance).

The Sephora 3 in 1 looks good. I'll have to give it a try.

Some of these should not be done at home, like the chemical peel. You must have a professional do it. You can scar yourself for life.

Spa and salon treatment can get pretty expensive!

Some cool products but that lip plumping thing is just frightening.

I agree that many services, epically peels at a salon, but, I have seen too many problems. Many clients think more means better. Some of these products should not be used too often, and I have found some clients over use these products and end up hurting the skin. I have one client, she insists that she should exfoliate daily. She is not a young person, and her chin is very dry at times, and you can see the verticals lines. I would ask her how many times are you exfoliating...oh last night and today, my face felt oily... If that is what exfoliating does, imagine some of these people with home peels...I see it. I understand many people can do it and can limit themselves, but, many companies promote the safety and really do not emphasize the problems that can occur. PLEASE...just follow up with a skin care professional; you can even contact me for some advice, rather safe then sorry!!

In regards to Zapping your zits...even a pro needs to be careful. You can tend to be a bit aggressive, especially if you are new to this, and end up with a burn, and even worse a scar... Some things should be left to a pro...sorry

I'm a firm believer in getting waxed at the salon for 2 reasons, 1 its a lot less messy and 2 after a series of failed attempts at waxing myself I've decided to leave it to the professionals.
