Happy Monday, Dolls!

How was the weekend? Mine was restful and productive. No complaints here!

Anyhoo, yesterday I took a moment to give my skin a little TLC by giving myself a mini-facial. I first learned about mini-facials from Kitiya of Mischo Beauty, who is a licensed esthetician, cosmetologist and makeup artist. They are essentially weekly maintenance for your skin in between monthly professional facials that I’ve been slacking on LOL. You can read her post here.

Today, I’m going to walk you guys through my take on the mini-facial. It’s a little bootleg (LOL) because I ran out of my serum and toner (doh!) but the basic steps are here. Also, don’t mind my unkempt brows (going to Thread this week!)

So, without further ado…

This smells so good I wanna eat it! It brightens my skin really well, too.

Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel Full Strength ($45) was my first foray into the world of the exfoliating treatment mask and I’m happy to report smoother, brighter and more supple skin as a result.

As part of my Home Spa Initiative, I bought this at Sephora to use in my weekly mini-facial routine (detailed post in the pipeline!) After cleansing and toning, I paint a layer of this treatment onto my face and neck using an inexpensive concealer brush and leave it on for 15 minutes…

Suffering from the requisite skin weirdness that comes when the seasons change?

Yep, us too!

Here are the deets from the Clarins press release:

WHAT? A complimentary 20-minute Skin Time Facial Treatment, personalized for your skin needs…
