Investing in our Skin

This week I had the pleasure of trying out the CACI Natural Microlift Facial at The Skin Hub clinic in Byblos. I had heard about it before and was quite eager to try it, since a lot of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and the Kardashians do this treatment before a special red carpet event.

It wasn’t painful at all, just slight tingling sensations during the second part as the facial muscles are being stimulated.  I could see instant results afterwards, and my skin looked refreshed and radiant when I walked out.

The owner of the clinic, Zorica, was so lovely and we had such a nice chat about skincare and preventative beauty routines, that I decided to write an article about it.

At some point, you will have to realize that you should prioritize some time for your own self-care needs.

As new moms, we’re all pretty much just learning as we go. We can read endless books and blog posts about what to have in our hospital bags before the arrival of our little bundles of joy, but in reality, nothing beats experience. Below are some things I wish I knew during Pregnancy.
