You probably didn’t know that when you break down the daily cost of a cosmetic procedure such as Botox, the cost averages about $3.00/ day. For many of us, that’s about the same cost of our daily lattes. In an article written by Michele Cohen Marill on “The Weekend Facelift” she mentioned that women in their 20s and 30s now consider cosmetic procedures to be just a step beyond sunscreen. Even with the very rare, but very scary side effects of these procedures they have been widely accepted as normal.
With the economy in a recession, now more than ever, women are wanting to get a makeover and have younger looking skin and a refreshed look that fits within their on-the-go lifestyle, but cannot justify fronting the money for these expensive procedures. We’ll I’ve come to your rescue. I searched high and low to find the skinny on the best at-home age-fighting products out there. All product sets will last 4 -6 months. Here’s what I found. Enjoy!
