  Expensive Cleansers that cost $20 or higher are really such a waste of money, and as I mentioned in my title is truly money going down the drain. The actives in certain cleansers such alpha hydroxy acids/beta hydroxy acids or other touted ingredients from the formula don't remain on the skin long enough to make a difference or take into effect. However, an ingredient such as Salicylic Acid purpose of as an antibacterial in a cleanser can be helpful though in cleanser. The purpose of "cleanser" is just to simply cleanse and balance your pH level. Spend more money on your products that are leave-on products, such your essences, serum, & moisturizers.

Having consistency with your skin is also the golden key for healthy skin & results! Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru

There are low, medi...

  Microneedling is a very big trending treatment at moment also which helps with almost every skin concern imaginable, in terms of fine lines/wrinkles, scarring, acne, discolorations, sun damage, some skin elasticity and even enlarged pores. Which it has included new things that can be added into the mix of this treatment as well & which in fact I will also go over... How it works is with a pen with a few fine needle points on the end that gets dragged onto the surface layer of skin, almost like stamping the skin (which is pretty neat! LOL) creating microscopic tears or pricks you can say into the skin, creating wounds for then the skin to be able to notice "injury", which is automatically telling itself to heal... (think wound healing) which in return produces more collagen & elastin and making skin healthier and in reducing the signs of aging, scarring, acne, and more.    With this treatment you can use your skin's very own platelet rich plasma, as...
