Facial Creams and Lotions

A husband and wife are shopping at the market when the man picks up a case of beer and sticks it into their cart.

*

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the wife.

*
"They're on sale, only $25 for a case,” he says.

*

“Put them back. We can't afford it,” says the wife and so they carry on shopping.

*
A few aisles later the woman picks up a $50 bottle of facial lotion and places it into the cart.

*

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the man.

*

“It's my facial lotion. It makes me look beautiful,” she says.
*
The man replies, “So do 24 bottles of beer and they’re half the price!”

*

*

If any of you women are like me, you have many jars and bottles of facial creams and lotions sitting on your bathroom counter that you have bought because you believed all the hype that was promoted about them.

*

"Purchase *X* brand and your wrinkles will disappear, *Y* brand promises to give you back the youthful skin you used to have" etc. etc. ad nauseum.

*

Who to believe and is it all just a marketing ploy?

*

Well I have to admit that I am someone who used to believe in all the hype and marketing that the cosmetics industry was targetting to us women of a *certain age*.

And then I read Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me by Paula Begoun .

*

This book is an eye-opener and should be considered as a *MUST READ* for every woman who has spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on any *miracle facial creams or lotions.*

*

I can honestly recommend either purchasing this book or borrowing it from your local library before you spend another dollar on the latest *miracle cream or lotion.*
