Beauty

[Q4u]

I have watched both Dr D and AA over the years and have never heard either one of them make any kind of claim that if we used what they are selling that our skin will in any way resemble their's.  Not even an innuendo to that effect.

-------------------------------------------------

That's absolutely true, however they don't have to AND THEY KNOW IT!  By coming onto television to sell whatever skin care they have to sell and ~looking~ as fresh and as young as possible gives the impression... the implication... IMPLIES that their cosmetics are responsible for their radiance and youth.

While the more skeptical of us look and can see the work that has been done and reacts accordingly.... most customers do not make the distinction between good and careful topical skin care and the limited results they will give.... and full blown cosmetic procedures.  Nothing illegal, immoral or fattening about doing so, but come clean (we know ANYWAY) and do not IMPLY by virtue of having your face surgically enhanced while pushing your skin care that we too can look ten years younger by using it.  It's clearly an unspoken implication......

You're only a fool if you fall for sales hype instead of using logical thinking about what you are being told. So many people cannot resist a sales technique, but shopping would be very boring if no one ever made a purchase. Pricing is what people are willing to pay, so if you are complaining, you may be in the minority.

Did you buy the $40 lipstain from the prestigious cosmetics company because it is new, novel, chic, expensive?  It comes in a fancy dispenser to make observers envious.    Or did you, like me,  remember that Mood Matchers come in various shades and cost $1.50 to this day? You can get a 10 piece set from Amazon, no S&H, no tax.  

Did you buy the $498 moisturizer?  Read the ingredients?  Ever wonder how and why a manufacturer would give away a $498 cream?  What happens in two years when the AD runs out?  And did you notice that the lighting and shading were not quite the same in the before and after shots? The models still looked like their same old selves didn't they?

 Were you tempted to buy the $250 LED flashlight that stimulates collagen production and eradicates your wrinkles?  

If the worst wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions, smiles, smoking frowning, why, how  on earth is more muscle in action (facial flex)  going to eradicate anything undesirable?  But , the whole premise of the electrical stimulators is to " work out " your face isn't it?  If it costs a goodly amount we'll buy into the farce won't we. just in case? 

So we see what we want to see, discarding reason when the goal is to achieve the perfection someone else has told us we need to be.  wolves in sheep's clothing still smell like predators

I get what you're saying about over-priced beauty products, but you have the facts wrong with the Facial Flex.    It has nothing to do with getting rid of wrinkles .... it's all about muscle tone, and costs only about $30.    Usage of mine has been effective enough for people I know to ask why I look "better".  I  wouldn't be without mine ... it's worth every penny, and more!
