Last year I won several gift certificates to different local spas. It was a pretty big treat for me but while I was sitting in the lobby waiting a woman checked in at the counter for her weekly facial. I glanced at the price list to see that she paid about $30 to $50 depending on which facial she received.
I happen to know you can make some of your own ALL NATURAL face scrubs at home for way less and I'm going to give you the recipes for some now.
