Skin creams are a rip-off, period. Skin care is all about your diet.
Correct! Anyone knows that products catering to women are a ripoff and ten times what men’s product are.
Creme de la Merde.
Creme de la Mar
Extremely expensive shampoo and conditioner
I recently had a demonstration of a very expensive skin-care treatment protocol, one which uses a variety of creams plus a “device.”
The device heats up the skin. A combination of the creams creates an exothermic reaction that also heats the skin.
My skin did look less wrinkly and “crepey.”
The salesman really wanted to make the sale, showing me how the system on-line costs $6,000 but I can get it in Honduras for only $1,800. (I was on a cruise that had stopped in Honduras.) But I sat there thinking about the chemical/physical/biochemical processes really going on.
Of course the “system” was able to show immediate dewrinkling results. I figure that the heat caused a bit of localized edema, which puffed up the skin to give the appearance of smoother skin. The eye serum contains something that shrinks slightly when it dries, which smooths out sagging skin under the eyes.
It was all a scam.
I just stick with the moisturizers (with SPF) that I get at the drugstore. They work fine.
Being an earth mother hippie type, I did my own investigation, and found almond and coconut oil to be the best things for washing my face and moisturizing with. I have my own homemade hand and body cream involving bees wax and oils which is delightful and works better than any bottle from the store. I have been using my own toothpaste for 2 years, too, and it’s incredible. I guess I can add I discovered a combination of natural ingredients that have helped my grow in. Make my own laundry detergent, too.
So Creme de la Merde lost?
I’ve used Nivea Soft twice a day for years. I would be smug and braggadocious right now, but this will probably cause a shortage and spike the price.
