Facials and stuff

I was getting my eyebrows waxed earlier and the lady that was doing them said my skin was actually quite good. I was like umm no, not really and she said well I'm looking at it under a magnifier and bright light(she's and esthetician) and all you need is a facial with glycolic acid or some microdermabrasion. Anyone ever had either of those?

I use effective products daily instead of having a facial or microdermabrasion once. in a while. I want for example to increase collagen production, which can't be done with masks, facials or similar.
If you yourself think you need an AHA treatment, try for example Paula's Choice AHA gel at night. It's very nice.
I bet your skin is actually quite good- it's just that usually we tend to rate our skins pretty bad, although they're not. Similar to looks in general, or body. We tend to compare to the wron- like to airbrushed pics or the skin of people ten years younger.

I think most estheticians will generally say everyone needs a facial about once every 2 months or so... I remember an esthetician once telling me how incredibly dehydrated I was just by looking at my skin... eek.
