Sunday Beauty Routine: Getting fed up with all those creams

Filed in archive Beauty , Weekly beauty routines on July 31, 2006

Every Sunday I take real time for myself and do all those beauty related errands I neglected all week long (like exfoliating, cutting nails, washing with purifying shampoo, shaving armpits and so on). I also try to moisturize every inch of my skin, to make up for the sloppy thin moisturizing I do when I'm late for work (which is almost always).

It hit me: I have a body cream which I use on my arms, tummy, breasts, and legs, I have an anti-cellulite gel I use on my buttocks and thighs, I have a self-tanning lotion I use all over and a lotion to minimize hair growth for my lower legs. And on top of it all, I always put sunscreen. Needles to say, it takes me 20 minutes to half an hour to apply all that creaming!

So I wondered whether it would be possible to make an all in one super moisturizer (self-tanning, anti-cellulite, sunscreen, hair-minimizing, great moisturizing...) and of course I directed the question to know-all bellowed chemists over at the Beauty Brains.

But, Beauty Brains answer was not what I wanted to hear:

The bad news is, there's no true Super-Product that's going to blow you away. It's not really a question of how much it would cost, it's more an issue of the currently available technology not being able to deliver anything extraordinary. But we're still trying!

On other thing, although Beauty Brains claims that anti-cellulite creams can't help you lose weight (I mean - duh!), I seem to have less hideous looking buttock skin since I'm using my anti-cellulite lotion, but that's another story.
