I thought my daily facial cleansing soap and occasional exfoliating scrub were the best I could do for my skin. Then I got the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush System and I realized that what I was doing not only took more time every day but it wasn’t really helping. It wasn’t helping my visibly cavernous pores, it wasn’t helping my occasional mammoth zit issues and trying a different product ever … read more

Several years ago while managing a salon, I had a Cosmedix Timeless Peel done.  It was more for being a practice dummy for the aestheticians than my actually wanting or probably needing it done at that time, but since many years have passed and I now have fine lines, wrinkles, and larger pores I decided to do it all over again.  I had my consultation about two weeks before I had the peel … read more
