We know you've cut back on unnecessary spending, including spa-ing. And while professional pampering can be amazing, it's not the only route toward getting radiant skin. If you' re willing to forgo the fancy robe and padded table, you can get similar results at home. Here, experts share their special tricks just in time for spring's revealing clothing.
* Revitalizing Face and Eye Massage
Most spa facials involve some kind of face massage to boost blood flow and help the products absorb better. Here's how to get results on your own: Take a warm shower to soften your pores, then cut a chilled seedless red or green grape in half. "Grapes contain hydrating glucose and powerful antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals," says Regine Berthelot, head aesthetician at Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa, in NYC. Slide the flat side of the cut grape over your skin, starling between your brows and moving out toward your temples. Sweep up to your forehead, then down your nose and over your cheeks.
