If you still need convincing, know that <strong>regular facials are crucial for skin health<\/strong>. You make bi-annual or yearly checkups with your GP, eye doctor, dentist, gyno, <em>etc.<\/em>\u2014so why shouldn\u2019t the same check-up philosophy be applied to your skin? It\u2019s the largest organ on your body and faces and receive a <em>daily<\/em> beating from harsh weather, pollution, makeup, <em>etc.<\/em> and thus require a deep clean and treatment. If you can\u2019t plump for one every 2-3 months (and realistically, who has time to?), aim for one at least once a year. It\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Granted, I work for Mario Badescu, but the <em><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">proof is in the pudding<\/span><\/em> the difference in the clarity of my T-zone is pretty incredible. Here\u2019s what Maria did on my face:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><strong>EUROPEAN FACIAL<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">This is Mario Badescu&#8217;s\u00a0signature treatment that involves a no-frills-all-business cleanse, steaming, extractions, and mask. The extractions are no joke (and my favorite part because I\u2019m a masochist), but you\u2019ll emerge with skin smooth and clear as can be. There&#8217;s good reason why the European Facial part of Mario Badescu&#8217;s claim to fame, second only to the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/DryingLotion\">Drying Lotion<\/a>; its sheer efficacy is keeps\u00a0celebs, editors, and models worldwide coming back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">And it\u2019s only $65.\u00a0You read right.\u00a0<em style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Sixty. Five. Dollars.\u00a0<\/em>I&#8217;m not going to tell you how to live your life, but you get a much greater return on investment when you put your bones towards a facial than when you buy lunch for a week instead of packing it. Do you, boo-boo. But don&#8217;t say I never told you.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><strong>SUPERFICIAL PEELING TREATMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">It sounds a lot more aggressive than it is\u2014it\u2019s actually the gentler of two exfoliating masks, my aesthetician said. Because I went so long without getting a facial, this one was necessary to help remove five years\u2019 worth of dead skin cell buildup without being harsh on skin. Gross, but necessary. My face is nearly as smooth as a baby&#8217;s bottom right now.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><strong>VITAMIN C TREATMENT<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">This is one of the best-selling facial treatments in the salon. It\u2019s custom-made to suit your skin type (this one includes berries, Maria said) and is applied all over the face, concentrating on the areas\u00a0between the brows and around the mouth to help prevent\u00a0elevens and laugh lines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">It feels incredible.\u00a0Plus, it comes off as one solid piece. I was too embarrassed to ask Maria if I could take a picture, but my inner kid was pretty excited about having a mold of my face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">. \u00a0 . \u00a0 .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;\">In the tri-state area? <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/MBsalon\"><strong>Book an appointment today<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been five years since my last facial.
