Greta's Tips
for Radiant, Beautiful, Younger-Looking Skin

Issue #30 - March Comes In Like a Lion

Greta was ready for anything. Or so she thought.

There she was back in New York City, wearing her Ralph Lauren ensemble--a nifty black and white suit set with a flower pin and kicky little black leather gloves. She wrapped her classic trench over her shoulders and walked down West 46th Street. She was on her way to meet Guy at Pigalle, her favorite midtown French Bistro. She had arranged the meeting to "discuss her latest story for Face Magazine," but really she had other things on her mind.

There he was, sitting in a corner table by the window. He stood up to greet her. "Greta," he breathed. "You look stunning."

"I look the same," she said, knowing this wasn't completely the truth.

"It's been a long winter," Guy said, holding out the chair for her.

"Yes, but it's almost over." Greta smiled and sat down. "I want to tell you something," she began.

Guy looked at her seriously and, for a moment, Greta lost her nerve. What could she say--that despite the fact that she'd been with Zane Craven and swept up in the Hollywood glitz and glamour, her heart still belonged to Guy Thompson and always would? What would he say? Greta was nervous, but she gained confidence knowing she looked wonderful and her skin was impeccable. In fact, she had begun her day with GreatSkin's Sensitive Skin Cleanser with Aloe Vera and Chamomile. It was a deliciously mild cleanser perfect for skin that had weathered a long, harsh, cold winter. She followed this with thoughts of spring and GreatSkin's Cucumber Toner. The fragrant blend soothed and refreshed her skin. Next, Greta applied her secret weapon to fight free radicals and reduce the appearance of aging--GreatSkin's C Serum. It contained Ester C and did wonderful things to renew her skin's elasticity and even out tone. And despite all the stress of the last few months--the trials and triumphs of following a bad boy movie star, the bicoastal flights, and running from the paparazzi, Greta knew that GreatSkin's Peptide Treatment Lotion was already boosting her skin's collagen renewal and reducing the environmental damage with such fabulous anti-oxidants as Japanese Green Tea and Vitamins A, E and C. Finally, Greta had dabbed on just a touch of GreatSkin Eye and Throat Bio Moist around her eyes, throat and décolleté. Ah, she felt beautiful. And confident.

Confident enough, to reach across the table and hold Guy's hand.

"I miss you," she whispered.

Before he could respond, the waiter interrupted, handing them menus as he described the Nicoise Tapenade & Baby Artichoke Hearts on Grilled French Bread. Greta smiled patiently, trying to concentrate on food, when all she could think of was not the artichoke hearts--but Guy's heart. How did he really feel? Would a cold spring follow the cold winter? The waiter finally turned to go, and before she could stop herself, she leaned over and kissed Guy. Yes, right there in the middle of Pigalle, on a rainy afternoon in the middle of March! But then, what they say about March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb, well, perhaps it's true, because Guy was now kissing her back!

Radiant, beautiful, younger-looking skin is GreatSkin's promise to you. Take Greta's advice and practice these health & beauty tips to look and feel your best:

• Get a professional facial from your esthetician once a month
• Perform a mini facial (including a scrub and mask) at least 3x weekly
• Apply a C Serum product & sunblock daily
• Use anti oxidants to combat skin aging (FYI - aging starts in your twenties!)
• Never go to bed without removing makeup to make sure your pores stay unclogged
• Always cleanse your skin twice in both the morning and night so important serums can penetrate effectively (and follow with a toner to re-establish Ph balance and hydrate). Our Sensitive Skin Cleanser and Cucumber Toner are on sale this month!
• Use an eye cream and drink eight glasses of water every day
• Sleep on your back to avoid developing lines and wrinkles from pillow and sheet
