It's Time to Get Serious About Skincare!

Hey, I like Vanessa H. as much as anybody, but don’t you think it’s time you thought about making skincare a grownup priority?

Skincare is as much a health issue as it is a beauty issue. My old college roommate trained as a doctor; in casual conversation, she’ll remark on a passing stranger – “Oh, poor thing; blahblahblah (technical diagnosis that I didn’t get and can’t remember) will eventually be her undoing….”

Doctors can tell about your health from just quickly glancing at your skin, so don’t tell me skincare isn’t important. And speaking of celebrities, don’t you just love Red Carpet events, where celebrities don’t get the benefit of special lighting and camera filters?

Full, direct sun on your face demonstrates how much effort you’ve put into skincare – and the red carpet shows, even to amateur watchers, that no matter how much stuff you slather on top, if you’re not watching the health of your skin (and your body), your skincare routine is sadly – and in the case of celebrity overindulgers – comically – inadequate. Sweetheart, I can see every cigarette and every shot of whiskey right there on their skin.

Vanessa is adorable, and she has the skin of a beautiful child – we’re not children anymore; we have got to start thinking seriously about our skincare – more to come, girls….
