"I have always been self-conscious about dark circles underneath my eyes. I have a German background and that was very prevalent in my family. I also spent every day possible in the sun when I was growing up and into my adult years, as well. My skin was very damaged. Beginning A process with Lynn, at SPAaah, starting with facials, I noticed improvement. , However, when I started GlycoAla treatments, the improvement to my overall skin was enormous and the disappearance of my dark circles was amazing! Lynn has explained everything along the way and truly cares about her clients. I would recommend her for any facial care or concerns one might have."
