When I was 17, living in London, a very long way from home, which was absolutely intentional I have to say......a very stylish friend turned me on (his words) to UK Vouge and Harpers & Queen (as it was known then)...
I greedily relished the content with much gusto. The effects of the mags' on me are still very very pronounced.....I was delighted, impressed, stunned and nourished....living in a huge new city, they became my rock steady monthly neccessity as I lived through difficult and delightful times...I went without most things to buy them...crazy but necassary!
Anyway one article has stayed with me to this day.......it was all about natural skincare and the emphasis on avoiding wrinkles - WATER not cosmetics was the KEY, especially very wet cotton wool to apply product.......NEVER EVER APPLY WITH FINGERS.......it said "even after washing hands they are NEVER really clean and just the action of rubbing in the cream can cause wrinkles"........well peeps I am 49 and yes ok my skin is a little less FAB and no it isn't genetics, it IS WATER our skin needs, so every day I take the time to quench my skin in water soaked cotton wool, then squeeze Dermalogica...(ok I can now use the BEST but for years it was woteva I could afford) to the cotton wool then apply to wet skin.
It feels good to do it this way and works for me.........I'll post a pic of my face/skin soon so you can decide for yourselves!
My blog isn't about selling but more about sharing what I love,
WATER is the top of the list of specialness.xxx
