Filed under: Skin Care

One of the biggest beauty myths is that chocolate (and fried foods) can cause acne. Extensive research shows this is simply not true. A poor diet and/or stress however, can exacerbate acne. So if you already have a pimple problem, try to maintain a healthy diet.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Filed under: Skin Care

Microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, fine wrinkles and sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin.

Micro dermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin rejuvenate faster than normal.
