I must admit that I’m sure feeling the pressure today.
After Anne’s great Vlog announcing our RoC@ RETINOL CORREXTION® Deep Wrinkle Night Cream Giveaway, Robin’s gorgeous hippy picture and personal vulnerability, and Susan’s delicious recipe for beautiful skin, I can’t help but feel a little outclassed.
So it is with great trepidation that I present my cautionary tale of the day:
Paula Deen.
I love Paula Deen. I think she is fantabulous and funny and probably a hootenanny-and-a-half to hang out with. She’s entirely adorable in every stinking way. She’s a self-made woman who pulled herself up by her bootstraps to get herself and her children out of a bad situation. She’s wildly talented and successful and nothing can detract from that fact.
If she’s had any surgical work done on her face it has been very conservative. It is likely that, in addition to a team of make-up artists and personal design consultants, she has regular facials and has had one or more of these sorts of anti-aging treatments. The reason I think this with almost complete certainty is because Paula Deen’s face is almost crystal clear with nary an age spot in sight, but her hands tell a different story.
Now before you haul me out into the public square and beat me to death with her signature collection cookware, I don’t really care one wit about Paula Deen’s age-spotty hands. She’s a lovely woman and I admire her buttercream frosting right out of her. To each their own. I’m not judging HER; I’m trying to figure out how to best care for my skin and help it look its very best.
I’ve spent some time looking and analyzing celebrities as I try to figure out what works and what doesn’t. (Extensive, radical facelifts that make you look bizarro and crazy-DON’T WORK; Treating your skin like the rarest piece of silk you’ll ever own-DOES)
So, since I’m handing out beauty tips let me hand you one of mine: Nipples Up and Elbows Down.
What this means is that whatever you do to care for your face you need to do from your nipples up and from your elbows down .
Yeah, it is going to cost you a little more, but this is THE way to get the best, most effective anti-aging results from your beauty products. Since you’re slathering that stuff on anyways, why not put a little on those sun-exposed hands and that sweet décolletage (which just about now I have to mention that Robin has a particularly PERFECT décolletage)?
I hope this week has been helpful for you as it has for me. I’d also like to give a little shout-out to our lucky readers who are in Seattle this weekend. HAVE A GREAT TIME, Ladies! See you next week.
