If you don’t like the results of your neck lift or Restylane treatment, good luck seeing that credit on your Amex card. Creams, lotions, and serums in pretty packagings, which feel like buttah on your skin, have vast appeal over needles and scalpels for the majority of women. While certain aspects of skin products can be considered “warm and fuzzy,” nothing about needles or surgery can, no matter what spin you put on it.
Keep your expensively-creamed eyes peeled though, because just when you’ve committed to the most high-tech, new, and expensive high-end skin care item on the market, Vogue, Allure, and Bazaar will slap some slick editorial your way to tell you and sell you on an even newer and more miraculous development in skin care. High-end skin is where it’s at and once it’s keeping the highly sharpened knives at bay, I take comfort in the constant onslaught of expensive products I must have!
What’s really funny is that I know more than a few dermatologists who recommend simple soap and water for skin. That must be some really high-end soap they’re using.
