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

Issue #31 - Will Guy Pop the Question?

What could be more delicious than a quick escape to the island of St. Martins?

Guy took Greta's hand as they walked along the beach in front of Le Petit Hotel. They had woken up early to the sounds of the surf right outside their window and then they spent the morning drinking good French coffee and sharing a chocolate croissant. What an indulgence! Just what Greta needed after a long, cold winter.

Guy took her hand and twirled her around on the sand. "I love this bathing suit on you!" he laughed, admiring her. "You look terrific, Greta!"

Greta smiled. It was true, she looked good in her new Le Truc bikini. It was a simple classic black bathing suit with a tie bottom.

But she knew that Guy was really talking about her skin. It looked radiant. Her mother had long ago let her in on this beauty secret--if she took care of her skin, she'd always feel confident. And of course she took care of her skin with GreatSkin. In fact, just a few days before the trip she had begun her new spring time beauty care regime, starting her day with GreatSkin's Papaya Enzyme Cleanser, a light foaming cleanser that smelled wonderful and cleansed her skin with deep-pore exfoliating enzymes. Next, she applied GreatSkin's Papaya Enzyme Toner. It was so perfect for a week in the Caribbean. This fragrant toner refreshed and energized her skin. And back home, she had started a new ritual with GreatSkin Microdermabrasion Crème, exfoliating three times aweek.

That morning, looking in the mirror, she could already see refined skin texture and no lines or blemishes at all! Her next secret was GreatSkin's Retinol Eye Serum. Greta loved the way it made the skin around her eyes look--healthy and vibrant, as if she'd never had a bad night's sleep in her life. And finally, Greta applied one of her favorite products, GreatSkin's Herbal Silk Moisturizer. It was especially effective after a long, cold winter and made skin feel silky smooth and completely revitalized and hydrated.

Greta looked out at the ocean and smiled. Yes, her mother was right. She felt beautiful and she felt confident, thanks to GreatSkin. "Greta," Guy whispered and then took her hand and pulled her closer to him. "You know what we should do tomorrow?"

Greta couldn't imagine what Guy was thinking. Perhaps he wanted to go to the Butterfly Farm and see the butterflies emerging from their cocoons. Greta was intrigued by all the brilliant colors. Impossible blues. Bright oranges, reds and greens.

Guy held her and looked into her eyes. "I want to take you jewelry shopping," he whispered, kissing her lightly on the neck.

"Hmmmmm..." Greta wondered, what could he mean? Perhaps a ring?

"What do you say?" Guy asked.

Greta waited for a moment and then turned to Guy and smiled. "I say, yes." She whispered.

And suddenly, it felt as if the entire world was about to change.

To take the best possible care of your skin, do what Greta does!

Greta's skincare regimen includes:

• Getting a professional facial from her esthetician once a month
• Doing a mini facial (including a scrub and mask) at least 3x weekly
• Applying a C Serum product and sunblock daily
• Using anti oxidants to combat skin aging (FYI - aging starts in your twenties!)
• Never going to bed without removing makeup to make sure her pores stay unclogged
• Always cleansing her skin twice in both the morning and night so important serums can penetrate effectively (and following with a toner to re-establish Ph balance and hydrate)
• Using an eye cream and drinking eight glasses of water every day
• Sleeping on her back to avoid developing lines and wrinkles from pillow and sheets
