beauty lotion

When I was a little girl I was convinced that there was a magical beauty lotion that could make anyone beautiful. I knew it existed because my dad would tease my mom about her magical beauty lotion she put on every night. She was beautiful so I knew the beauty lotion had to work. I could not wait until I was old enough to try the beauty lotion and be beautiful too.

So one day I snuck into my parent’s bathroom and found my mother’s magical beauty lotion. I rubbed it into my face and waited in front of the mirror for it to make me beautiful. Nothing happened. I waited for a very long time staring closely into the mirror looking for the first sign of change. Eventually I knew it was not going to work for me. I was never going to be beautiful like my mother.

My father found me staring in the mirrow and I explained why. Then he had me look him in the eye as he very seriously explained that it did not work because I was already beautiful. No magic or beauty lotion was needed to make me beautiful. It took him a long time to convince me that I was beautiful and already looked a lot like my mother, who I knew was beautiful. He would tell my mother how beautiful she was every day. From that day forward my father always called me his little beauty. He still tells the story at every opportunity, usually to explain my nickname now shortened to beauty. What he said had a profound effect on my self-esteem. I always felt beautiful from that day on.

When I got older my mother taught me everything I know about proper skin care. I learned that my mother’s magical beauty lotion was a night cream to slow down signs of aging. There is not magic involved in beauty. Beautiful skin is the result of genetics, and proper skin care. These days I don’t wish for magical creams. I shop at online stores like Living Yor Best , located at www.livinyourbest.com/, for my skin care products. I take care of myself and my skin. Though, I do tell my girls that my Dermalogica, Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream--473ml/16oz, Women is my magical beauty cream. I know that Living Yor Best does not sell magical beauty lotions, but some of today’s skin care products come close to it. As long as it works to keep my skin healthy that is all I need. I already know I am beautiful and always will be no matter how old I get, thanks to my dad.
