From Ashy to Classy

Your skin is mad at you — shedding like crazy, getting away from you little by little — and you won’t do so much as slather on some cream to persuade it to stick around. Sure, your dermis invites its BFFs Whitehead and Blackhead to dinner at the wrong times,...

Your skin is mad at you — shedding like crazy, getting away from you little by little — and you won’t do so much as slather on some cream to persuade it to stick around. Sure, your dermis invites its BFFs Whitehead and Blackhead to dinner at the wrong times, but as your body’s biggest organ, your skin deserves a wee bit more patience from you. After all, those days when your skin is happy, it glows like a dandelion basking in the afternoon sun. Allow GBS to help your outermost layer find its Zen at Skin Care Month. Until Tuesday, the beauty supermarket will give gratis consultations, skin analysis, and customized treatments for sagging, dry, and oily faces from the Gables to Aventura.

Lucky for your wallet, Skin Care Month is also recession-proof. Featured products will be 20 percent off, so hit the Coral Gables store (308 Miracle Mile) from 2 to 4:30 p.m. to get cheapo Babor and discounted beauty machinery from Emjoi, and the Aventura store (18545 W Dixie Hwy.) from 3 to 5 p.m. for bucks off Peter Thomas Roth.
