Most times I really do not get the opportunity to get a facial in the spa because I am so busy especially around the festive seasons so I usually give myself at home mini treatments. Rhonda Allison has a couple facial systems, but the ME TIME is a definite favorite. It includes the DERMA PEEL, MILK MASK, CHOCOLATE MASK, CHEERY JUBILEE ENZYME AND GRAPE SEED SERUM.
This treatment provides my skin with a surge of antioxidants and nourishment. Every once in a while, I would do the full on treatment but usually I my weekly treatment consists of Cleanse, derma peel, milk mask and moisturize.
In the coming weeks, will share each individual product review and details.
