Foot Reflexology – Is It A Foot Massage?
What is foot reflexology? Most people assume that foot reflexology is just another name for a foot massage. Other people think it’s a type of pedicure. After talking with our massage therapists, I realized it might be helpful to shed some light on what exactly this service is. In this blog, I will explain what foot reflexology is and how it differs from a foot massage. I will also explain what to expect during your foot reflexology service at Oliver's Salon & Spa.
What is "reflexology"?
Reflexology is the therapeutic act of using pressure points on the body to trigger pain relief. However, most reflexology services are done on the feet due to the abundance of pressure points that connect to the rest of your body. Reflexology stimulates circulation, reduces stress and pain and restores balance. Some people say it's helpful for women who are experiencing menstrual cramps, however, reflexology is suited for anyone.
Foot Reflexology at Oliver's Salon & Spa
I asked one of our massage therapists what her definition of foot reflexology would be and she said:
Reflexology is the relief of pain by stimulating pressure points by using specific thumb, finger and hand techniques. She also included that reflexology works with your central nervous system to help communicate to the body where to releave tension.
Therefore, foot reflexology is pressing on certain pressure points on your feet that correlate with different parts of your body to relieve pain and tension.
What can I expect?
Reflexology is done in one of our calming massage rooms. In these massage rooms, spa music plays and the lighting is moody, which creates a relaxing environment. It is not required for you to change into a robe, however, you are welcome to if it would make your experience more relaxing. At Oliver's, we have lockers available to store all of your belongings during your visit with us!
Is there any massage involved?
Typically, no massage is involved in foot reflexology. This therapeutic service is directed towards pain and the correlating pressure points. Although we offer foot spa related services, we are not entirely a foot spa. If you’re looking for a foot massage, check out one of our luxurious pedicures! Lately, our clients have been telling us how great our pedicures are!
However...
Our massage therapists understand that each person is not cut and dry. Our services are customizable as long as they are within reasonable request. For example, if you're having issues with your digestive system, they may focus on the pressure point on your foot that correlates with your digestive system a little more intensely. It's best to communicate with our massage therapists before your appointment if there are any areas currently troubling you.
If you're looking for overall healthy feet, make a day of it and book a pedicure in addition to a foot reflexology service!
We recommend this service for clients who are looking for a more holistic healing experience. If you’re interested in one of our other holistic healing services, check out our Reiki Therapy, Rain-Drop Therapy and Chakra Balancing Massage. If you're interested in booking one of our foot reflexology services, give us a call at (610)-366-8808 or book online!

New at Oliver’s – Bamboo Fusion Massage
Picture this - you're deciding to indulge in a little self care and you schedule a massage. You get massages regularly because you know they help relieve stress, muscle tension and so much more. You love massages, but you want something new...
A bamboo massage.
Bamboo? Like the sticks?
Bamboo like the sticks, but SO much more. Did you know there are 1500 species of bamboo? All responsible for feeding and housing, the creation of musical instruments, cooking utensils, furniture, hunting weapons, storage baskets, lamps, lampshades, roof tiles, hats and hundreds of other practical uses.
Why bamboo?
Bamboo is more than just a practical tool. It is a spiritual tool that is symbolized as energy, sexuality, fertility, prosperity and longevity.
When incorporated into a massage, bamboo does several things for the body and mind. A bamboo-fusion massage brings an extreme sensation of relaxation and well-being, relieves tightness and tension in the muscles and tendons, makes skin more supple, stimulates the flow of blood and lymph, regenerates, revitalizes and relaxes the body and mind. I would know, I tried it!
What exactly is a bamboo massage like?
I was able to receive a bamboo-fusion massage at the salon and day spa by our wonderful and intuitive massage therapist, Janet. Janet is a master at perfecting her craft and tailoring each experience to the individual. She explained what was going to happen and reassured me to let her know if there is any discomfort during the massage.
It started as a normal massage, but it was a much different sensation. It was bamboo! The bamboo sticks were gently dragged across my skin. They were warm, so it felt very calming. Janet used the bamboo sticks in a rolling method (picture someone using a rolling pin on your muscles) to massage. This was done as a full body method. Personally, I like the use of the bamboo stick as it allows the massage therapist to apply much more pressure. This would be perfect for someone looking for a deep tissue massage!
I really enjoyed the way it felt, as it was evenly working out my tension and stress due to the pressure put on the bamboo stick. Specifically, there was one part of the service that where Janet had used the end of the bamboo stick to work out some tension in my neck area. It was indescribable definitely something you have to experience if you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders like I do. I felt as though the bamboo curved to my skin perfectly. Afterwards, I felt rested and very zen.
After the massage, I was instructed to drink plenty of water, which is normal! My muscles felt lose for the next few days, which was amazing!
Bamboo-ya!
10/10, I would recommend this service to everyone! The bamboo was an interesting twist. I could see this service being a regular for me. Now knowing what I know about bamboo, it makes bamboo-fusion massages ten times more interesting to me. How cool is it that we are using bamboo in a practical and spiritual way like it is done in different parts of the world? Nature's bounty at it's finest!
HydraFacial – The Trending Skincare Service
HydraFacial
We live in a world where treating yourself is an absolute must. Whether you’re looking to appear younger or have instagram perfect skin, there’s a skin care treatment out there for everyone. Skincare has become a necessity in the last couple of years. From new brands and treatments emerging, social media does a great job at keeping us all in the loop. Trends may come and go, but good skin will always be remembered. That’s why more and more people are taking their skin more seriously!
Oliver’s decided to keep up with the current trend and bought ourselves a Christmas gift this past season. We will now be offering *drum roll please* HydraFacial in our salon & spa. This is HUGE, as services like this are mainly seen in popular areas such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York. We thought it would be the perfect service to add to our spa.
What is it?
In a nutshell, HydraFacial uses patented vortex-fusion technology to exfoliate, extract and hydrate the skin with a spiral designed tip to help with painless extractions. What is vortex-fusion technology you say? Well, it’s a fancy way to explain why HydraFacial is what it is. It’s a combination of specific HydraPeel tips, a vacuum and serums that fit different skin care needs.
What does it do?
This is the medical grade trending skincare service that pulls impurities from the skin into a tube that you can actually SEE. Your skin is exfoliated, your pores are vacuumed out and infused/hydrated at the same time with a serum that best fits your skin care needs. HydraFacial best benefits people who have fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, enlarged pores, oily & congested skin, uneven skin tone and uneven skin texture. Plus, it’s really cool to see all of the junk that comes out of your face!
Depending on what you want to achieve, results are almost instant! You’ll notice a more radiant and glowy appearance to your skin right after. If you have a skin care concern that requires a couple of sessions, you may not notice changes right away, but fear not - good things take time.
How does it benefit me?
HydraFacial is good for all ages, all genders and all skin types. This service is perfect for a first timer and a skin guru. The best part - it is customizable!
Serums
There are several serums that HydraFacial offers such as: brightening, calming, hydration, firming & restoring, soothing & refining. There are also special serums for eye and lip treatments. Whatever your needs or expectations are, HydraFacial has you covered.
Have I mentioned the LED light therapy?
With the use of blue and red LED lights, HydraFacial tackles your acne before it happens and after it has already made an appearance. The blue light disrupts acne causing bacteria and improves oily & congested skin. The red light helps with inflammation of the skin from acne or just in general.
What can I expect?
3 steps, 30 minutes. It’s as simple as that.
Exfoliate
HydraFacial exfoliates through the act of microdermabrasion. Each HydraFacial tip is designed to be an abrasive that removes the uneven, first layer of skin.
Hydrate
As the skin is being exfoliated and extractions are taking place, a serum is infused into your pores. There are a number of serums to choose from, each having hydrating properties.
Extract
With the vacuum technology, extractions are painless. There’s no squeezing or picking of your blackheads and pimples.
Downtime?
Downtime typically doesn’t exist with HydraFacial. You’re free to walk out and enjoy your skin the moment you’re done! However, some more intense treatments may leave your skin needing a little rest. It all depends!
You want proof? You got it.
Here are some before & after photos to better illustrate what HydraFacial can do.
Watch out for fake HydraFacials…
Some spas will offer a hydrafacial as a service on their menu, but if you dig a little deeper and read the fine print, you quickly realize that their hydrafacials are merely just a hydrating facial. The difference is all in the name and description. HydraFacial (the actual company) uses patented technology and products that not every spa has access to. But due to the popularity of the brand, there is a reason why spas advertise with the same name and spelling. The general public might not even think twice about it. Shame on their faulty advertising!
FYI
For those of you who are deeply embedded with skin care services, HydraFacial can be used along with any other skin care treatment. Actually, HydraFacial can increase the speed of other peeling facials. Also, for those of you with filler and botox, HydraFacial doesn’t harm it.
If you’re looking for more information on HydraFacial, check out their website. Here’s to a bright future and clearer skin!

5 Products We Can’t Live Without
5 Products
We all have those staples in our beauty routine. You know, the essentials. These are products that you buy in bulk, carry a travel size of and recommend to everyone in passing. In this blog, I will share with you the 5 products that our salon & spa can’t live without.
We carry only the best products at our salon. When ordering and purchasing products for retail, we keep what’s best for our clients in mind as well as their wants and needs. We use and buy products that we would feel comfortable using ourselves and our loved ones. We decided to give our followers and blog readers a look into our own personal cabinet of “must haves”. No incentive, no advertising, just simply saying what we like best and what works best for us.
Aveda Skin Refiner
This is a staple in the skin care world. According to many of the employees at Oliver’s Salon & Spa, this cleansing exfoliator does the job while keeping your skin moisturized. Sometimes, scrubs can over exfoliate and leave you with dry patches. This stuff scrubs impurities but leaves you with a soft, moisturized glow. I would say this product is perfect for the upcoming cold months!
Olaplex No. 7
The hair savior. This is a must have for ANYONE who has artificially colored their hair, especially blondes. This restores moisture to your hair after the damage had already been done. I dare you to find a stylist who thinks this one is a bad idea. Keep in mind, there is a treatment, shampoo, conditioner and more. We recommend a treatment to start, then if you love it, incorporate the whole line!
Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo
If you’re a sensitive scalped person such as myself, you will find that most dry shampoos irritate you. This is the only brand I’ve had any success with. While keeping your scalp moisturized with a formula that has argan oil, this dry shampoo will leave your hair smelling like you just washed it (even though it might be 4 days since you actually have). If you fall in love with the scent, don’t worry; we have tons of Moroccan Oil products that you can add to your collection.
Tan Towels
Okay fake tan gurus, this ones for you. Forget the lotions and orange palms. No one has time for that anymore, it’s 2019. Tan Towels help achieve that summer tan in the middle of winter. It’s basically a wet nap for your skin. Easy application, long-lasting and you don’t smell or look like an Oompa Loompa. They are offered in the classic and plus options. Classic gives you a subtle glow and plus really bumps up the bronze. Even better, they are affordable!
Maria Nila Silver Shampoo
A must have for blondes. Kick your hair's brass with this purple shampoo. It is one of the purple shampoos that actually smell good, too. Maria Nila is a hair care brand that is vegan and cruelty free, so not only are you shampooing your hair, you’re doing it while being moralistic. Use it as much as needed or once in a while. The formula is perfect and doesn't dry out your hair like most purple shampoos do. Plus, you can always pair it with their conditioner!
These products are all stylist approved and used. All of these are also available for retail at our salon. We hope that a little look into Oliver’s cabinets has helped you possibly find your new staple products. If you have any other questions on any of these products, or want to see what else we have, feel free to give us a call at (610)-366-8808 or stop in any time!
Benefits of a Spa Day
Life’s stress can hurt us both mentally and physically. Being extra kind to yourself helps alleviate some of that stress and can put you in the right mind frame to tackle what's next. In this blog, we will go over what a spa day at Oliver’s could do for your mental and physical health as well as your confidence. After all, everyone deserves a spa day!
MENTAL HEALTH
As anxiety and depression is at an ultimate incline, we’re all looking for ways to keep ourselves motivated, calm and happy. At times, it becomes a struggle when day-to-day occurrences keep us on our toes. However, the purpose of this blog is to inform our readers that there are small things you can do for yourself that add up.
Keep yourself a priority. Find ways to relax. One of the biggest (and in my opinion most helpful) ways to relax is getting a massage. Massages are known to lower your production of cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone that is released when you’re actually feeling stressed. This hormone, once triggered, is a forever flowing river. Massages also increase your white blood cell count.
Massages of all kinds can also use essential oils, which are said to relieve stress and anxiety. Aromatherapy can be extra helpful as these oils are warmed and used in your massage. After a relaxing massage, you will feel as though you are ready to fall asleep. Nothing is better than a good night’s rest!
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Anytime you feel guilty about treating yourself to a spa day, remember; there are physical benefits to your services. For example, getting a manicure and pedicure can clean up dead skin and prolong the health and life of your nail. Regular manicures and pedicures can prevent fungi from growing under and around your nails.
Massages can work out any muscular pain you have while boosting your immunity and lowering your blood pressure. Facials can eliminate dead skin and restore your largest organ- your skin. A good, professional shampoo and/or scalp treatment can clean the dead skin from your scalp and promote hair growth. Waxing exfoliates the skin all while getting rid of pesky body hair.
CONFIDENCE
Look good, feel good, do good. I don’t know about you, but I live by this motto. Yes, it helps me deal with the fact that I may have a bit of a shopping problem, but we all do what we have to do. After a spa day, your confidence could boost. For example, if your gray hairs are showing and you come in for a touch up color, you walk out feeling so much better about yourself. Our vanity is worth much more than we like to think.
In a world where confidence can make or break someone, we want to help be a part of the “make” part. If you notice a whole bunch of blackheads and treat yourself to a facial with extractions, you will notice your skin glowing right away. This small, fine feeling will help you conquer the day, trust me. Looking our best helps us be our best.
ROUTINE?
Our mental and physical health as well as our confidence is important. How we feel on the inside and outside determines the kind of person we are, how we act and what we do. Spa days or services here and there need to be a part of your routine. Plus, who doesn’t love self-care? If you aren’t convinced by now, refer back to paragraph 1 and read through the entire blog again until it hits you. Take care of your body for it is your forever home!
If you're ready to book your spa day, let's do it. Give us a call at (610) 366-8808 or book online!
Autoclave 101
When it comes to your nail services, are you getting what you pay for? You should expect (and get) a clean manicure with no problems to follow. Little does the common client know, some salons are not so sanitary. That’s why Oliver’s goes above and beyond to make your service as sanitary as possible. In this blog, I will explain why Oliver's takes sanitation seriously and uses an autoclave.
We use Tweezerman nail clippers at Oliver's and YES, we sanitize them correctly!
What Even is an Autoclave?
What exactly is an autoclave? For those of you who have never heard of an autoclave, you’re not alone. The autoclave originates in a medical setting, being used to clean and sanitize medical equipment that has been used in surgery. It’s a sterilization unit that uses water and steam at a high temperature to kill microorganisms, or as we refer to it, bacteria.
So… why are we using this in a salon?
Well, a nail tech uses tools while performing services such as pedicures and manicures. Fun fact: the average human hand has about 150 different species of bacteria living on it. So, using these tools then transfers those bacterias from the hands and to the tools. Also, if you have sensitive cuticles like I do, you bleed during manicures. Blood-born pathogens can also be transferred to and from tools. Do you really want to deal with all of that on a spa day?
The Dangers of Poor Sanitation
Salons should be held to a much higher standard when it comes to sanitation. If the tools used on you during your service are not properly sanitized, you could be at risk for a lot of things, as could the salon. Some states are required by law to use an autoclave. These laws are updated annually and each state has a different requirement. You can read each state’s specific requirements here. Pennsylvania requires that any tools that come in contact shall be sanitized immediately after each use and maintained in a sanitary condition at all times.
I have been to a few salons where I have witnessed a nail tech pull tools from the drawer and put them back in there after using them on me and that is a huge problem, especially when there is a possibility of me bleeding due to my sensitive cuticles. I should have said something, but I assumed that all salons just followed the rules.
Why Oliver's Uses an Autoclave
Here at Oliver’s, we take sanitation very seriously and follow the rules. Although Pennsylvania does not require salons to use autoclaves, we find that it’s best to keep our clients safe and reassured that they are getting exactly what they pay for. Going the extra mile is something Oliver’s is used to, so we are always on top of any new and safe way to improve our services. Some benefits of using the autoclave are a certified clean manicure, no risk of bacterial infection and peace of mind.
Oliver’s makes sure that we give our clients the best experience possible. We are focused on quality, not quantity of our services. Any sort of beauty service should be relaxing. You shouldn’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the tools being used during your service. Going the extra mile in sanitation makes sure that you’re happy with the service you receive, and our technicians can focus on their art without having to worry about their tools. We believe that every single one of our clients deserves to be treated like a queen.
Conclusion
Besides manicures and pedicures, Oliver’s has a wide range of other services that are conducted in a safe and sanitized way. Head to our website and check them out! Also, if you have any questions about our autoclave, tools or systems, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

The Secret To Better Skin
If you’re anything like me, summer isn't exactly friendly to your skin. We all love the bronze-y summer glowing skin that the warmer months give us, but I’m not exactly a fan of the dryness that follows it. Vacations, outdoor activities, and sunbathing are all some great perks of summer, but they can be a huge opportunity for the sun to damage your skin. If you want to enjoy the sun, repair your skin, and pamper yourself a little bit all at the same time, skincare services like facials can be a great way to counteract that damage and put your face back on the right track. (So maybe you can have your metaphorical cake and eat it, too.)
For this post, I received the Oliver’s facial and see how skin treatments would fit into my skin care routine. So if you're constantly asking, "How do I get better skin?", the answer might be to pamper yourself a little more often.
Facials are the ultimate tool to relaxing yourself and giving your skin that much-needed boost during the summer.
That Tan Looks Good Now... But What About Later?
I’m well aware that putting a 375º flat iron on my hair, clogging my pores with foundation, or laying out to get a couple shades darker aren’t necessarily my “healthiest” life choices, but we all make sacrifices for our beauty routines. Ideally, for whatever sacrifices you’re making you also have some kind of reparative treatments to counteract some of the damage you’re doing.
Skin is especially important because its the largest organ in your body. While a split end from a flat iron here or there isn’t going to kill you, not having a well-balanced skincare routine can seriously damage your skin, causing early aging and wrinkles. Although you may not see wrinkles, smile lines, or excessive dryness now after spending all day in the sun, they’re more than likely to pop up in the future. Preemptively treating issues now can lead to better skin in the future, so you can keep looking healthy and glowing no matter what age you are.
Are You Feeling Stressed Out? Maybe It's Time For A Little Pampering
Skin treatments aren’t meant to be done everyday, so there is a definitely pampering factor to them. However, skin treatments like facials lower stress levels and provide tons of relaxation which can have actual, tangible benefits to your health. Countless studies have shown the negative effects of stress on the body for your health, looks, and general well-being. Spa treatments completely relax you and the added face, arm, and neck massage that is included in our facials doubles the benefits. Massages release oxytocin into your body, which directly counteract stress hormones, making you feel immediately more relaxed.
Many of us have jam-packed schedules and remembering to take time to take care of yourself mentally often takes a back burner to school, jobs, and family obligations. Sure, being pampered sounds great. But seeing as many of us have fairly busy lives I’m sure feeling de-stressed is even more appealing. Keep this all in mind for the next time someone makes you feel high-maintenance for wanting to get a facial or any other skin treatment. You can tell them it’s just for your health, like eating a salad or hitting the gym.
Don't Have Any Skin Troubles?
While I love skincare products, I don’t have very problematic skin. Being in college full time and working comes with its own set of stress, so even though I may not suffer from severe acne or dryness, I am still looking to get healthier, better skin and lower my stress levels. So, I can still benefit from the relaxation and massage properties of skin treatments.
Even if you’re like me and don’t necessarily have any specific skin issues, facials and other skin treatments can still benefit you by mellowing you out, reducing acne or dark spots, and exfoliating the dead skin cells from your face. Which pretty much everyone has, unless you frequently get dermaplaning treatments or have somehow maintained baby soft skin as an adult. (If the latter's the case, call me. I have a few questions.)
Overview of The Oliver's Facial
The Oliver’s Facial is our signature hour long skin treatment. It's great for all skin types provides a well-rounded treatment for a variety of potential skin issues. The Oliver’s facial includes a skin analysis, complete cleansing, steaming, facial massage, exfoliator, mask, and moisturizer. The facial's exact steps and products are custom blended for your needs. So, let your aesthetician know of any specific issues you notice with your skin beforehand. The Oliver’s facial is a great starting point to skincare because even if you don’t know your specific needs or have more regular skin, there’s many different steps that cover all the bases.
I’d definitely recommend the Oliver’s facial for anyone who wants to improve their overall skin health but may not know where to start. It's also a great option if you have regular skin that you want to perk up.
Setting the Mood
To preface, I’ve never had a facial before. So I was definitely excited for some relaxation during my work day. (It’s worth mentioning that at this point my friends are more than jealous of my internship. I mean, a facial during work hours? How could they not be?) I was also looking forward to the prospect of having a new step in my skincare routine that would hopefully give me better skin.
Clients at Oliver’s know how busy it is here. While our location is large, we also offer a wide variety range of services. On a typical day there's customers in and out of the door every minute and it’s very lively in here. The spa room I was in completely cut off the typical salon noise and chatter from the outside. The room was dimly lit and relaxing music was playing. and I was tempted to take a nap before we even started. (The super comfortable bed I was laying in was more than a little enticing).
My Experience: The Products
One of our aestheticians, Jen, performed the facial on me. She started off by asking questions about my skin and any trouble areas I had. I told her I had fairly tame skin, not really any acne issues but some occasional dry skin. She then explained the steps of the process that she was going to do.
I'm not a big fan of strong smells or perfumes in my skin care products. Anything with too harsh of a smell reminds me of chemicals that I definitely don't want on my skin. All of the products that Jen used on me either had no smell, or smelled natural and light. I attest this to the use of Aveda and Jan Marini products. Aveda only scents their products with all naturally sourced ingredients and Jan Marini is a top innovator in research for new skincare products. (You can check out my blog on that here!) The products felt weightless and were getting fully absorbed into my skin.
My Experience: The Treatment
Jen first applied steam to my skin to open my pores. I was suffering from allergies that week so it helped clear my sinuses as well.
Between each of the steps Jen massaged my face which was very relaxing. Around halfway through the facial, I also received a small arm, neck, and upper back massage. Different layers of exfoliators, hydrating creams, moisturizers were applied with soft brushes and sponges to my face. Next, Jen applied a super hydrating mask. The mask was left for a few minutes to fully treat my skin. (This is the point where I nearly dozed off.) A final facial moisturizer was applied and left on. My skin absorbed it and I had no residue. Finally, the facial ended with an Aveda Lip Saver which was smooth and lasted for hours.
The After Effects: Was I Glowing Like A Goddess?
Immediately following the facial, my skin was extremely soft and hydrated. One of my pet peeves are the dark circles under my eyes after waking up. The morning after the facial, they were much lighter. My face looked brighter and rejuvenated and I felt refreshed and glowy for the rest of the day. I ran errands and met with friends without a bit of makeup on my face.
As for the next day, I definitely noticed my skin looking much nicer in the morning. The under eye circles I usually wake up with were less noticeable. I noticed my skin looking evenly colored, so I used less foundation. The foundation that I did wear sat on my skin more nicely. Because of this, I didn't have to use any powder or setting spray.
Unexpected Effects
One of the biggest differences I noticed wasn't a physical change from the facial, but a mental one. My face looked and felt so amazing afterwards that I became more aware of what I was doing to it. My skin is pretty resilient, so I sometimes slack on my daily skincare routine if I'm feeling lazy. Which I usually am. After the Oliver's Facial, I was dying to keep the glow I had so I've completely stepped up my skincare routine as a result.
All of the physical benefits of the facial aside, I'm more conscious of how I'm treating my skin. The facial made my skin look better in the short term, which made me want it to look better in the long term. Also, if your skin looks healthier, you may be able to cut out some of your makeup routine. A more strict skincare routine, using less makeup, and feeling less stressed out are all indirect perks I noticed from my facial. Eventually all these little changes can build up. So, the occasional facial has a ton of indirect benefits that give you better skin.
The Road To Better Skin Continues
Is a one-time facial going to give you completely flawless skin? Of course not. But they’re great for times when your skin may need a boost, like before a special event. They're also a great idea if you need a little kickstart to your skincare routine. Over time, I can absolutely see how repeated facials can improve the overall health of your skin and stress levels. Unfortunately, there is no cure-all that will give you better skin, de-stress you, and take 20 years off of your face. (And any product or service claiming to do that immediately is probably a sham.)
However, with periodic facials to rejuvenate and mellow you out a little bit you can definitely get better skin. In other words, if you’re planning on going to a tropical vacation and laying out in the sun for a week straight, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to “counteract” some of that “damage” with a facial right when you get home. You should do it for your health, right?
Thank you to our talented aesthetician Jen for treating me to the Oliver’s Facial!
