Women face a lot of daily stress…and then stress even more when it shows on our face! If you can sneak away for a little me-time, pull double duty with a relaxing treatment that will leave you glowing and ready to, ahem, face the world. Many facials include scalp, hand, feet or neck massages — or that 15 minute pick me up can be tagged on simultaneously for a small fee without extending your time away from juggling all those home-and-family balls. If you can’t spare the hour, check out these at home helpers that can help you fake it until you make it through a stressful time.
Make a Clean Start
Sebamed’s Clear Face Cleansing Foam’s coconut oil-based formula naturally conditions stressed skin and regenerates the skin’s natural protective barrier, while helping to prevent the formation on new pimples. Pregnancy-friendly — no salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or retinoids.
