Skin S.O.S. from Therapy Systems

I don't know about you, but my mommy to-do list does not include a weekly trip to the spa. It's all quite unfortunate, since I've somehow reached a point in time when I am getting zits and wrinkles at the same time (how's that for cosmically unfair?), and my skin can use all the help it can get! But, since neither my budget nor my day planner will afford me the luxury of frequenting that lovely haven of fluffy white robes and cucumber eye masks, I've had to explore other options.

I recently tried a few products from the Therapy Systems line of skincare and have been very happy with the results. A firm believer that a little exfoliation can work small wonders (nothing like getting rid of all those dead skin cells ... Yecch!), I'm always game to try a good scrub. I love their three-step Microdermabrasion Kit which promises to improve skin's texture and clarity with continued use.

I confess, I approached the Self-adjusting Facial Peel Kit with a bit more trepidation (remember when Samantha on Sex and the City got a "freshening peel" and ended up looking like Bob the Tomato for Carrie's book party?). But I soldiered on, in the name of science (well, okay, in the name of better skin), and was pleasantly surprised by both the ease and painlessness of the process and the quick results. After using both kits a couple times, my skin looked clearer and felt tighter ... and who can complain about that?

A Cosmo Best of Beauty award winner, Therapy Systems has a full line of skincare for face and body, and can be purchased on-line at The Cosmetic Market or on the company's web site at therapysytems.com. Check it out!
