Getting rid of acne is another story because there’s a lot of trial and error with acne treatments that work for our skin. My acne horror story was when I got an allergy from a facial I availed in one of the facial centers in the mall.

With hair loss, due to lack of choices and just a few products, products tend to be expensive. Well, maybe because hair loss is really a serious problem. For my review of one hair product that treats hair loss and hair fall, please check out my health and beauty blog.
