$12 for a customized facial or microdermabrasion treatment (up to a $25 value) at any of G Skin & Beauty Institute’s four locations:  The Loop, Naperville, Oak Brook and West Dundee.  Limit two per person; additional two as gifts.

With more than 10 types of facials to choose from, the service is customized to suit each client’s skin type, including dehydrated and acneic. During microdermabrasion sessions, the skin is mechanically exfoliated to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal for a firmer, more even-toned complexion. All work performed by supervised students.  I see no reason not to use students for services like facials – I draw the line at waxing, because the possibility of burning (even slightly) is very real.  And even with a licensed beautician you have to be careful.
