Last Friday, I visited La Belle Chique, a local spa, with the intention of obtaining information about skin care. My skin, especially on my face, approximates that of an alligator’s that I then cover with make-up. I don’t expect to look like I did as a teen, but I thought maybe I could stave off further damage.
I talked with the esthetician and she took some photographs of what I looked liked. I believe they are called “Before.” Then I returned home with a new facial skin care regime and have attentively followed it ever since. The literature with the products says it takes eighteen weeks to see final results, but I think that five days have already helped. For instance, the dryness on my nose is already reduced. The wrinkles around my mouth look less intimidating. And my skin seems soft enough that the alligator comparison is about to be jettisoned.
Given the cost of the products, maybe this is what the customer must think. However, beauty is not cheap these days; and if I can look better, then why not? It’s not that I want to look twenty years younger; rather, when I’m twenty years older I want to look more like I will look eighteen weeks down the road.
