They cleanse and hydrate the skin, and then we can look after broken capillaries and other skin condiâ€" tions." She likens the skin to leaves on a plant. "Lots of water helps the new leaves, but it doesn‘t help the old, dry leaves. A special treatment is needed."

"Men should also come in for facial waxing. It hurts a little, b men with partial beards find more convenient than shaving, ar you don‘t develop a rash."
