Summertime Spa Treatments … to sooth and protect and restore

Experts also advise that it is equally important to take advantage of antioxidant, cancer-fighting treatments at spas. Anti-aging treatments are especially rich in antioxidants, while treatments like light glycolic peels, vitamin C exfoliation masks, and even microdermabrasion treatments can help to remove pre-cancerous skin lesions that may eventually turn malignant. But remember, nothing replaces the expertise and treatments you receive from your dermatologist.
