One, they up the antee, and two, the gemstones supposedly leave you revitalized and energized. The question is, is it just a complete scam? Expert facialist Tammy Fender says quite the contrary. She says the products really do what they say on paper; however she does say to beware. The gems only work if they’re all natural, but sometimes these spas “manufacture” or even dilute them themselves.
