My goodness gracious! How do Wednesdays come around so quickly??? I barely rested on my laurels from last week and dang, if it isn't time to write another blog! What do I have to say this week that is so earth shattering?
Well, tho not earth shattering, we finally got a new boss at the makeup store in which I work. We didn't have one for about a month and things were running amuck. Not that it bothered ME so much (how else could I get my Spanish studied?!), but it was bothering the other associate managers, since there are too many of them and no one really in charge. Oh well, the new boss seems nice enough and everyone seems to like her, so that's good, thus far. Stay tuned.
Business picked up this past week, as we get closer to Christmas. Played the age game again with a customer. She had two daughters, close to my daughter's age and SHE asked ME how old I was. She was four years younger, wouldn't ya know?? But it was really fun working on this mom and her two married daughters. Two of them were jealous of the one daughter's perfect eyebrows and kept commenting on how perfect they were! Of course, this same daughter was the only one of the three struggling with puffiness and dark circles! The second daughter was really beautiful, and was not even going to try our makeup. She just wanted to "watch the transformation" of her sister. That done, I did a makeover on the mother who was a very young looking mom. With the two of them looking beautiful (if I may say so myself!), the remaining sister gave in and said, "OK. Work your magic." Voila! All three bought alot! Made my day! I was the highest saleslady! But the best part? Spending over an hour with this family, altho I was exhausted when they left! They were a neat group of ladies and made me miss not having my daughter here with ME to go shopping as they were doing and play make up.
Anyhoo, my skincare tip for this week and for next, since it will be the day after Christmas and no one will be reading this anyway, so I won't bother trying to write, is to exfoliate on a daily basis. You don't need to get those scratchy kinds where you feel if it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't work. Not so! There are many gentle ones on the market. If you don't exfoliate, then it's like trying to put wax on a dirty floor. You wouldn't do that now, would you (for those of you who actually clean your floors!)? You must really get rid of those dead skin cells so that your moisturizers and makeup will have a better surface to do whatever it is you expect them to do. Exfoliate in the shower, where the moisture will help. Once you get rid of the dead skin cells, the more beautiful skin underneath will come through. No amount of makeup can make up for beautiful skin, no matter how good you are at applying it!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! AND A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!

Dear W.W.
I work in a dusty studio and dont always have time to exfoliate and wash my face. I've been wondering about this for a while...i want to keep my face clean but understand that alcohol based things might dry out my skin. Is there something easy, quick and effective that i can use to clean my face when i dont always have access to a sink?
Thanks WW.
Keep your posts coming.

Dear BB, (love the name, BTW!)
There really is no substitute for washing your face daily, but I do understand your predicament. You are exactly right about not wanting to use alcohol. Bare Escentuals makes a skin exfoliator that you put on first thing in the morning, after cleansing, called Skin Revver Upper. It is very gentle and should be followed by a moisturizer (preferably with a sunscreen, unless you never leave your studio and then you wouldn't have to worry about the sun!) If you do this first thing, then you won't have to worry about the dust the rest of the day, because your skin will be beautifully protected. Thanks for writing!
