Facial or Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel at Lynn Klein Massage & Skincare

A face can both hide and reveal a person’s age, just as a hand can both hide and reveal a child’s nose after an uncle has mysteriously removed it. Enlighten bewildered facial features with today’s Groupon to Lynn Klein Massage & Skincare . Choose between the following options: For $35, you get a Nu Skin 180-degree facial (a $70 value). For $45, you get microdermabrasion and a chemical peel (a $99 value). Licensed aesthetician Janet (Lynn) Klein works to rejuvenate weatherworn head façades using Nu Skin anti-aging products. During a 180-degree facial, Klein will amalgamate the healing capabilities of vitamin C, a shiitake mushroom complex, and a squadron of hydroxy acids to craft a skin-enlivening concoction designed to refurbish complexions tarnished from aging or common missteps, such as over-tanning or applying nightly lard masks. Otherwise, a combination microdermabrasion and chemical peel treatment outwits skin-dulling cells to cultivate a more youthful appearance. Employing nylon bristle tips and gentle suction, the Dermasweep microdermabrasion treatment ousts deadbeat epidermal layers with a stream of exfoliants, working to clear away blemishes, soften fine lines, and goose collagen into production mode. An accompanying galvanic spa treatment sloughs remaining skin stowaways while rehydrating sensitive faces more effectively than firmly attaching faces to a fire hydrant. Then a 10% lactic acid chemical peel gingerly banishes any cellular stragglers, working to prepare mugs for special events, photo shoots, and Magna Doodle portrait sittings.
