An Endorsement

Ok, it's time for me to 'fess up.

I'm not all that much of a girly girl. Seriously. I'm not one to primp or do all those things most women do to stay beautiful. I never have.

Even back in my modeling days I just did what I had to - wash the damned make-up off - and go on. All those creames and gels and schtuff never made any sense to me.

Beauty (as it were) is wasted on the young. Trust me.

Part of that is because Mama never learned about that stuff (Amish, remember) and never talked to us about it. My friends and I were never the type to just hang out and do facials and crap. No way - there were parties to go to and trouble to find. We had great skin, why the hell did we need to do anything else?!?!

Fast forward to the present day. Holy Crap! Ladies, let me tell you, after 40 your skin starts to, well, not look so good. Now, I'm kinda lucky as I don't REALLY look my age. Yet. But it's starting to catch up with me. And I swore I am not going down without a fight.

So, driving to Mama's house a couple weeks ago I heard a commercial, again, for that ProActive. Being as I was driving I had all the time in the world to call and ask a few questions.

I told the girl I don't have bad acne. Never have. I just want to start taking better care of my skin. I've been spending a fortune in the last couple of years on "high end" schtuff and I'm not really seeing any difference. It may keep it from getting worse, but it certainly ain't getting better.

She ran through her speel. I listened. I asked questions. Then I was given a 60 day promise. If in 60 days I don't see a difference I get a FULL refund. Ok. I can live with that.

I placed the order. I got the stuff. Folks - I LOVE IT!!

It's easy to use, takes no time at all. That's important to me. If I've got to spend a half hour just cleaning my face I won't do it. Period. Oh, and it's perfect for all the traveling I have to do.

You get a months supply at a time. They mail it right to you. If you don't need the refill yet, just call and tell them and they'll wait for you to tell them when you do need it.

I've been using it about a week now. I see and FEEL a difference. My hope is that by the end of winter I can go back to not wearing foundation every day. I can see that happening. Easily.

Anyway - I just thought maybe someone out there is also looking for the same thing I was. My skin isn't bad, it just isn't what it was. Now, it's finally looking better. And it's not costing me a fortune or taking a ton of time. I'm glad I made that call. I already feel better.

Mr Weenie has bad skin, acne, roseca, dermatitis, etc .... he has used ProActive in the past and it had helped, he still uses it but it doesn't help as much because his skin is bad (eventually went on that really bad rep acne medicine, name escapes me right now).

But it did help him before his skin got really bad and he loved it at the time.

Me I do the Clinque 3 step program (soap, toner, lotion) and it is working out great for me, I wouldn't change at all.

Hell, I'm just ugly, period. I spend the difference on beer and Taco Bell. I've Takin' a likin' to those Crunch Wraps they've got lately. They don't split in half when you bite 'em like a taco does, and they don't spill all over the truck neither. I'm still searchin' the CVS for the Nuvea for Men stuff I see on TV all the time. Ain't found it yet. Guess it ain't in the aisle on the way to the cooler...

I too use proactive, and have for several years. I don't use it near as much since I started using Bare Escentuals makeup. It is all powder, so therefore there is no oil from the makeup stopping up the pores. It is expensive, but well worth it. I have always used wal-mart make-up until I was introduced to Bare Escentuals, and I would spend my last dollar on this makeup. It feels like you have nothing at all on your face.
