FACE-UP

Wednesday, 16 November 2011

We all want our skin to look its best. But a

lot of women worry about their skin as a result of

losing weight. Now one of the first places your

weight-loss shows up is in your face. But I believe

everyone can have healthy, beautiful

skin, (no matter what they weigh), if they take good

care of it by doing the following things.

I wonder how many women get

up in the morning without putting even a

little moisturizer

on their faces?

First of all, you've got to moisturize

your skin...and I mean everyday.

I wonder how many women reading this message get up in

the morning without putting even a

little moisturizer

on their faces. (And by the way, that goes for you

guys, too!)

I used to love watching my mother get ready for work.

The first thing she did every morning was to

moisturize her face from her forehead to her chin. My

mother sold Coty Cosmetics at the beauty counter of

Maison Blanche department store on Canal Street in New

Orleans. And boy, did my sweet Shirley ever have

beautiful skin...hardly a wrinkle, even as she got

older! So, having learned from the best, I followed

in my mother's footsteps. I moisturize my face each

and every day.

Now there're a lot of expensive creams on the market.

There's one fancy cream that contains orchid oil. One

jar of it costs 350

bucks! Another

cream you'll find in some upscale boutiques actually

contains 24-karat

gold, oh my. Ready for the price of that one?

Try $575.00 for a three-ounce jar. What?!

Now look, you don't have to buy those

expensive creams to make your own skin look fabulous.

You can go to your local drugstore and find yourself a

jar of Oil of Olay Pro-X Wrinkle cream for a lot

less. And, believe me, it'll work wonders for

your skin. (Hey, I swear by it!)

The other night, after class at Slimmons, a journalist

from one of the cable news networks was there and she

asked how old I was. When I told her I was 63, she

couldn't believe it. And oh yes, I told her my little

secret, Oil

of Olay Pro-X, darling! LOL.

Drink your water! It's a

simple and cost-free thing everyone can do for their

skin.

Another thing you should do to help your skin stay

healthy-looking is to...drink your water! Now

there's a simple and cost-free thing everyone can do

for their skin, right? I drink at least eight, 8-ounce

glasses of water everyday and you should, too. Not

only does water flush your system and help keep your

insides clean, your skin lovesthe

renewing effects of that good-old H20. Water is

simply the #1and

most important ingredient for your skin's good

health. So be sure you drink up like you should.

Your skin and your

whole body will

thank you for it!

And my last tip is for you to keep your

skin clean and glowing. After you moisturize,

a little make-up and blush should be used to

accentuate and bring out the natural beauty of your

skin.

Got it? All right then, face-up and do the

right things to take care of your beautiful skin

and...that face, that face, that

beautiful face of yours!

Love,
