Recently one morning, after I popped my contact lenses in, I briefly stared in the mirror & noticed that my skin was looking a little dull. I realized that in a few days, I would be attending a party & my skin needed a little help. Fortunately I had booked a facial at Dylan Keith Salon for later in the week so that I could get that smooth, glowing skin 24 hours before the party. Dylan Keith Salon is located on pedestrian-friendly … [Read more...]
