100. Jessica Shops Pick of the Month
Beauty & Anti-Aging
Beauty is only skin-deep but when it comes to anti-aging I still want to put my best face forward with quality treatments worth the investment. I am absolutely hooked on the Oxygen Facial and Microdermabrasion combo at Gardner Dermatology (770-952-2100, GardnerDermatology.com). I have trusted them with my skin for years and can’t get enough of the PowerPeel® microdermabrasion treatments that make my skin velvety smooth. I combine them with the Hyperbaric Oxygen Facials and definitely notice a firmer, youthful glow and rarely use foundation (friends often think I have on makeup when I don’t!).
Another brand new experience that I cannot wait to try is the Exilis treatment at Body Medical Contouring, (770-232-7755, BodyMedicalContouring.com) which uses controlled heating to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and reshape targeted fat deposits. Mention JessicaShops to receive 20 percent off any single service or package of four. Trusting my skin and body to the experts may mean a little more up front, but I find I save money on makeup, gym time and have extra cash that could be saved for that next irresistible deal I discover.
