Convenient Pampering

I saw a recent episode of Oprah on anti-aging, and there were these phenomenal women who looked unbelievable, and not just for their age. They all went on and on about inner peace and happiness, but that didn't interest me as much as the occasional beauty tip. One 70 year old woman, who looked at least half her age, said simply: "Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!" I've always been fairly diligent about slathering lotion on my body, but since my skin has been oily much of my life, I've often hesitated to do the same for my face. But now I'm in my 30s, and my formerly oily complexion has been replaced by combination skin that is starting to show signs of age. So, to kick off my new moisturizing routine, I've decided to plant lightweight, oil-free moisturizers for my face, and richer moisturizers for my body, all over the house. I've already placed pumps of hand lotion at every sink, but now I'm stashing baskets of moisturizer and other essential implements (tweezers, nail files, hand mirrors) in various rooms throughout the house, so that I can care for my skin when I have the time, and not just during my most hectic time, in the morning, or just before bed, when I'm wiped out. I'm sure my skin is going to thank me for it! As for anti-aging, I'll let you know in 30 or 40 years, when hopefully, I'll look like that amazing 70-year-old on Oprah!
