Issue #36 - A Spy in our Midst

Greta could feel the excitement in the cool September breeze as she walked across bustling Union Square and up to the Flat Iron Building--headquarters of Face Magazine. She was wearing her new woolen Dolce & Gabbana red plaid skirt that she had bought to celebrate the fact that she and Guy Thompson were working together again, even if no longer were officially an "item".

"Good morning, Simone." Greta greeted Guy's notoriously snippy assistant. Simone pretended she was busy before looking up and in that fraction of a second, something caught her eye. It was a copy of Star Magazine. How strange, Greta thought. After all, this was the magazine that featured the photographs of Greta and bad-boy indie movie star Zane Craven, supposedly canoodling.

And the truth is, nothing was going on! Greta loved Guy!

"Oh, hello," Simone said, finally looking up. "Guy's not in."

"But he said to come by today. He has an assignment for me."

"Oh, there must be a mistake," the assistant said, flipping aside her long bangs and turning to her computer. Greta thought she could really lose her cool at that moment. Thank goodness, she felt completely confident because she had started her new skincare regimen. Just that morning, she began with GreatSkin AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser with Hydroxy Acids. It miraculously removed dead skin cells and left her skin feeling so fresh and rejuvenated. Greta then rinsed her skin with cool water and applied GreatSkin Vitamin C Toner with Lemon with Grapefruit. She loved the deliciously citrusy scent and the way this anti-oxidant formula gently exfoliated, leaving her skin squeaky clean and prepared for GreatSkin Vibran C Crème with Ceremides. What an amazingly advanced formula! This was Greta's secret weapon against dehydration and dullness because it created an invisible barrier and protected her skin with its ceremide moisture retention system.

Next Greta dabbed just a little GreatSkin Vibran C Firming Eye Gelee around her eyes to make them appear brighter and younger. Finally, she smoothed her lips with GreatSkin Vibran C Lip Treatment. It had an SPF 15 and so she never left the house without the protection of this vitamin infused moisturizing balm under her lipstick.

Greta stood at Simone's desk, when suddenly she noticed a piece of paper. It had the name Doug Henries--the photographer who took the photos of her and Zane--the ones that appeared in Star Magazine--the ones that caused all the trouble and misunderstanding between her and Guy! Could it be that Simone had something to do with all of it? Could it be that Simone was a spy for the paparazzi?

At that moment, the door to Guy's office opened and Guy appeared. "Oh, you're here!" he smiled and took Greta's hand.

Greta turned back to Simone. Should she say something? What if she was imagining it? Simone shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry, Greta. I guess I'm just a little crazy today."

Yes, Greta thought--crazy like a fox!

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
