The crap from the Dermo's office was $50.00 and I think it actually attracted the sun's rays.

2. " Don't spend extra money on make up, because drug store make up has the same ingredients as department store products."
Not true- I figured this one out when I was 12-years old on a babysitting gig. Yes, I used the makeup in the bathroom & it was of department store brand. AND the colors were stunning, the makeup went on smoother, and overall the make up lasted longer.
(Okay, confession, I do like one drug store brand..I adore the Boots No 7 Lights Illuminating Lotion. This stuff rocks. http://www.shopbootsusa.com/product/4135)
3. "Certain famous models use items in the pantry and refrigerator for skin care." As I was growing up, I read many articles that described models and actresses cleansing and moisturizing their respective faces with avocado scrubs, oatmeal masks, Crisco, bananas, honey, etc.
I can only say, this crap doesn't work. If I use products that belong in the kitchen, I get clogged pores, boil sized face zits, shiny skin. I call B.S.!
3. "You can just buy hair dye at the store and do it yourself."
Umm, maybe YOU can, but I look like a freakin' patchwork quilt of oranges, yellows, and reds.
4. "Spray tans have come a long way...they go on without streaking and the color has improved." No, no, no.
5. "I know you asked me not to cut your cuticles, but they need attention, and I have been trained how to do this professionally."
You will make me bleed and give me hang nails that will take 4 weeks to heal.
6. "Just use wax on that upper lip stache. "
Don't- you will do this for a decade...and then some nice cosmetologist will point out that the weekly wax tugging has given you wrinkles.
7. "Most acne creams have the same active ingredients- just choose one."
My adult hormone acne begs (in a big ugly way) to differ.
