Best Places for Facials In Pittsburgh
Between the season's drier air and blasting the indoor heat, winter certainly does a number on your skin, leaving many with a dull, flaky complexion, acne or flare ups of annoying inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema. One of the most effective ways to combat the environmental effects that come with the colder months is a facial, a skincare procedure that often involves steam, exfoliation, massages and lotions. From oxygen-infused treatments that promise smoother, younger skin to hydrating ones that leave you with plumper, rejuvenated skin, facials have fast become one of the most popular spa treatments in Pittsburgh. Both men and women may benefit from facials and the countless options offered at these five spas and salons named the best places for facials in Pittsburgh.
