We all know that as on-the-go women, fitting a facial into our busy schedules can be very difficult, if not impossible. And with the economy the way it is now and as budgeting becomes a top priority, it can be equally as difficult to justify spending $50-$200 on a skin treatment every 3-6 weeks. This is where home treatments come in, now I'm not saying you should stop seeing your facialist...no! Not at all, what I am suggesting is a quick addition to you regular routine that will give your skin the pick-me-up it needs!
If you haven't already heard of Apivita or tried their products, allow me introduce you:
