Skip The Spa. Are Medical Facilities The New Place To Seek Out Facials?

I recently visited a med spa for the first time, and wasn’t even sure what to expect. All I knew was that I was in desperate need of a facial, and ready to get my exfoliation on with a qualified esthetician. So, what’s the difference between a med spa and a day spa? Well, my friends, at a med spa, they can offer many more treatments for your face and body than a regular spa can, plus there’s a plastic surgeon on staff overseeing the facility. The med spa can offer immediate advice on your skin condition, and use more extensive procedures, such as Botox and Laser Skin Resurfacing, which you wouldn’t be able to get at a regular day spa.

Why Your Eyes Need A Primer

A standard face primer covers, well, your entire face. But what about your eyes? Your eyelids are incredibly delicate and need just a smidgen more protection from the elements. Benefit has come to the rescue with their latest product, Air Patrol ($29). This eyelid primer is not only a BB cream, but it also contains an SPF 20 and shea extract. Air Patrol contains an EnviroDefend complex which helps protect lids from the elements and stress of the environment. As a BB cream, it color-corrects, hydrates and locks in eyeshadow color on the eyes. The genius applicator tip was designed to feel “as gentle if not softer than your pinkie,” and the cushiony texture was inspired by the gel foam that you find in mattresses and pillows.
