Greta's Health & Beauty Advice

Issue #37 - More Trouble in Paradise

"I think Simone has a crush on Guy." Liz whispered. "She's always right there by his side."

Greta was glad she had invited her friend Liz to the Face Magazine Fall Fashion Party at the trendy French Bistro La Luncheonette. She wanted to get her opinion on why Simone was always so snarky and now she was getting an earful. Greta took a sip of her champagne and then whispered to Liz, "Simone is Guy's assistant. She's supposed to be by his side."

"Yeah, but how did the paparazzi get those photos of you and Zane in Central Park? Don't you think it's kind of weird that the tabloids always seem to know where you'll be--especially when you're hanging out with Zane Craven and things could be misconstrued?"

Greta thought about this. "Well, he is a movie star," she insisted, but she thought maybe Liz was on to something. After all, Simone was never very nice to her. Greta looked over at the assistant now. She was standing beside Guy, practically leaning into him. Greta was glad she was wearing her Vera Wang sequined dress and a pair of Jimmy Choos. She knew she looked great, but it wasn't just the outfit. It was her skin. She had begun the day by gently washing with GreatSkin Age Defying Milky Cleanser. It was deliciously gentle and infused with sweet almond, safflower, and lavender, plus plenty of antioxidants. Next, Greta applied her GreatSkin Lavender Toner, which smelled heavenly and calmed her skin, while hydrating it. And that morning, Greta treated herself to a GreatSkin Pore Refining Pumpkin Mask. It was a delicious creamy scented cocktail of minerals, enzymes and vitamins that left her pores looking smaller and definitely more refined. As always, she applied GreatSkin Age Defying Eye Cream, an intensive treatment, suffused with chamomile and aloe vera that not only moisturized her delicate eye area, but plumped it up, so that her fine lines all but disappeared. And finally, Greta used a moisturizer--but not just any moisturizer. She applied GreatSkin Herbal Silk Moisturizer. It was so luxurious, silky and fragrant that she practically wanted to bathe in it!

Greta looked in the mirror, and felt years younger. In fact, her complexion was so gorgeous, people often thought she was still in her teens and every now and then, she still got carded!

"Oh, you're here!" Greta turned around to find Simone next to her.

"Yes, of course I'm here!" Greta replied.

"Oh, I told Guy you left."

"Guy was looking for me?"

"Well, yes. But not anymore. I think he's left. For some reason, we got the impression you were bored."

"Bored?" Greta asked. When it concerned Guy Thompson, nothing could be further from the truth.

"Oh well," Simone said, turning to leave. "Guess who is here? Your friend, Zane Craven."

And there he was, walking slowly toward Greta, Zane Craven, looking impossibly handsome, his hair strategically messy, smiling at her with that I'm gonna get you in trouble kind of look.

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 Age Defying Milky Cleanser and Lavender 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
