Lets make up....
Dear face...
Guerlain's Terracotta Bronzing Powder. long lasting... To be honest I pretty much love everything from from Guerlain...
I KNOW I have treated you B. A .D. for the past ummm... 24 years...
I baked you with baby oil, I picked at you, I talked ugly to you..I tried to hide you, I didn't love you and
I am SORRY!!
As 40 is fast approaching,
I want to make things right.
My boobs & legs aren't what they once were & I am counting on you girl, don't let me down!
I am going with the tough love approach...doing things I SHOULD/or SHOULD NOT have been doing the past 20 years. sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry*sorry
Starting with the "sun" no more fake baking. I know you... my face/skin are THANKING me for not baking you under neon lights... I am having a hard time staying away...but for you, I will..
Never mind within the next 2 weeks I will begin to look like I have been locked in a closet for the past 6 months & with my new white..pasty skin , will need to re think the hair color.... eeeww..
Talking about TOUGH love... I have stopped wearing foundation..EEEK (even more difficult than giving up the sun...)
I am trying to give you a chance to breath a little....
I am BABYING you like never before... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let me down... I just need an itty bitty MIRACLE...
Thanking you in advance,
ME
I had a lady ask me this week for a MIRACLE in a bottle ... first..I am FLATTERED you would think I had that little miracle...perhaps you need to look a bit closer my dear... I am STILL lookin
I have given up tanning... not easy but I am DONE...
I have been a liquid base/foundation junkie for YEARS... trying to cover the abuse I have inflicted on my skin....
(I in no way, think foundation is bad for your skin...I am just trying a lighter approach.. Just trying to get my skin in really good shape instead of trying to cover everything up...know what I mean? - )
last time I went in for a facial they suggested I use a mineral powder...sooo
I have been using Almost Powder from CLINIQUE... LOVING IT!

I think my skin is "happier" than it has been in a LOOOONG time.
To stay out of the sun... I have been experimenting with bronze rs...

Oh & when I do use makeup I use that clinuqe powder too. That stuff is awesome!
Please report back on the Genifique!
I seriously have an amazing website for you to look at. The products and anti aging "patented" "technology" is a breakthrough.
If you are interested at all after looking at the website - get hold of me via my email and I will answer any questions you may have. And - girls .... it is a USA company !!!
Please look at the site - sit back with a glass of wine, (tea, beer ...) and enjoy. It takes about 10 minutes - you won't regret it. There is also money to be made if you choose and / or just product to buy (like no other).
HAVE FUN !!!!

All the best you young ones !!, (I'm 57 ... and still smiling ...)

I drink about 90 oz of water a day. I don't consume any caffeine or sodas, and I eat lots of fruit and veg.
The Fresh Soy cleanser is a DREAM. I use it on my eyes too, no burning, no tearing and it gets rid of mascara in no time flat.Plus, a tube of the stuff lasts me a year. A teeny tiny bit goes a long way.
The Fresh Umrian clay mask (get the bar, it lasts FOREVER and a day) is a miracle. Truly. Pimple? Gone. Tiny patch of eczema or psoriasis? Gone. Irritated skin? Gone.Tired looking skin? Gone.
I don't use lotions or potions all that much. My face is oily at times and normal at others. Sometimes I will use either Boots botanics nourishing night cream or the Fresh lotus something something eye cream.
And makeup? I have enough makeup to last till the earth implodes. But I only use mineral foundation from Geografx.
My mom and sister swear by Ponds cold cream, but all that stuff does is give me pimples and leaves an oily film on my skin I hate.
This is a much cheaper solution!
Moisturize daily - INCLUDING the neck and chest ... wearing a spf 15. I don't fake bake, but I do sit out in the sun (kinda hard NOT to where I live...) with sunscreen.
As for make-up - I'm a minimalist - moreso because I'm bad at applying it. I feel that less is more... though I always wear lipstick.
My one trick for smooth looking skin (when I wear make-up) is Mac StudioFix in C3. Love the stuff...
I just turned 27 and I keep telling myself it is worth the money - since most people think that my younger sister is older than me ;-)
Last year I went two whole months without a scrap of makeup...and my skin didn't really look any better. I use it because I like to, not because I feel I have to. Its a nice relationship. If you like makeup use it, there's no shame in it. If you want to scale back then do so. Either way, taking care of your face is just like taking care of the rest of you...an investment in your future.
