Welcome to the first of Mirabella’s monthly e-newsletters!

Each month I’ll be discussing a topic that focuses on Skin Care and/or Massage and Wellness in general.  In addition, Facial Treatments, Products, and Resources that relate to each month’s topic will be covered.

This month I want to address adult acne
and how it can be treated and prevented.  I will present some myths and facts and will introduce you to an exciting new tool that offers the most effective, thorough cleansing and leaves skin feeling and looking younger and smoother!

Thank you for taking the time to read though the information.  As a practitioner who is passionate about skin care I am committed to helping you better understand your skin and to help your skin look and feel its best!
