PICK ME UP - Home Facials
"Why not treat yourself to a facial mask as they can really brighten up a dull complexion or clear up a spotty one. It’s important to use the right type as a rich mask can make spotty skin spottier and a mask to clear up blemishes can irritate dry skin. Apply a cream or gel mask in circular motions and keep away from eyes. Pick Me Up loves Montagne Jeunesse 5 Minute Face Tonic."
