How important really is specialized skin/body treatment (e.g. salts, scrubs, mud masks, peels, etc.)?
Seriously- does it make any difference? I usually wash my face with regular soap (I have no acne…used to be very bad and solved it with accutane) so now I dont care, the best treatment I give my face and body is a moisturizing over-the-counter lotion such as Johnson’s renewal and the rare occassion bubble bath gel. Am I wise by saving the money..is it all a bunch of marketing? Or is there something I’m unaware of? Facts/evidence/statistics are most appreciated. The only way I’m spending all the money these guys charge is if I really know the cold facts say they are worth every penny. Essentially- highest quality/largest results for the lowest price is my goal.
Thanks bunches 
I actually broke down and bought a very expensive regime for my face. Yes, I feel it is worth it. After looking in to what many brands use on products they make a lot of things with mineral oil (petroleum) which is cheap and not good for you or your skin.
I don’t have any “hard” stats but I am all for natural things in my creams, and cosmetics – I also use a sea salt scrub which is worth every dime –
If you google petroleum or take a cracker (saltine) and place it in baby oil aka distilled petroleum and another cracker in water (1/4 cup of each) you see how the cracker hardens.
So anything with mineral oil/vaseline, petroleum in it is not good – so I read a lot of labels.
My skin has also really changed for the better since using pure and natural soaps, and creams and make up.
