Brilliant skin care

I recently decided to try something new for my skin care and it's really been great. Since I got preggers, my skin has been a bit blotchy and not feeling very pleasant, so I wanted to find something to try and combat these issues.

My search led me to The Body Shop and their new range of Vitamin C skin care products. I only bought two items. Vitamin C Micro Refiner and Vitamin C Skin Boost.

If you have a body shop in your area, I highly recommend these two items for a quick nightly routine. Since I've been using it (about 2 weeks now) my skin is clearer and my pores are much more refined.

It really is simply brilliant (for me anyway).

I agree--a good vitamin c serum really works well. I like Avon's--it's far less expensive than others.

And you might come out with a two-headed baby.

Nah...it's only got one head. We already checked.

Besides, we have some very experienced 'head severers' here. You generally need to go to Tasmania to find them though.

Isn't that a bit barbaric?
There are places that could just shrink it you know.

Yeah, but with the advances in plastic surgery, they don't even leave a scar these days, so that's the way most of the victims decide to go.

I've always heard that a good semen rub was just the ticket for luxuriously soft skin.

I find it goes a bit sticky and then peels off. Not my cup of tea.

Besides, if that were the case, why are all these metrosexual men buying skin care products when they can make their own???

You know what is yummy? Bath and Body Works Spa Tahiti Sweetie lotion. Yummy smell and lots of oil. Very good stuff. I like Aveeno the very best. It's reasonably priced and teh BEST for your skin. I swear by it for moisurizing and Ponds to take off your makeup at night.

When I was going thru chemo my skin was TRASHED. Burt's Bees Orange Oil skin cleanser saved my skin----but now that I'm no longer being poisoned every three weeks, my skin is much better and that stuff is too rich for my regular (non-chemo) skin.

I'll ask the wife what she uses. I do know she buys it from a friend and it's Amway, repackaged as some other name but I still know an Amway salesdrone when I see one!
