Bonjour fffabulous,
I trust your advice on skin care, and I keep seeing La Mer
advertised in all of my favorite skin care shops. Since you are French,
and you are fffabulous, do you happen to know first hand if the product
actually works? I am trying to make my skin feel and look a little more
fffabulous, but hate to spend the hundreds of dollars. Any advice?
Yours,
Hil
Hi Hil! Thanks for your email. I've always been skeptical of super
expensive moisturizers; perhaps it's because every time one of those
sounds-too-good-to-be-true commercials used to come on, I would always
hear by dad say: "I'd want them to try this on Auntie Tataite, and if
it works on her, then it's worth buying." But Auntie Tataite happened
to be 95 year old at the time, so it probably wouldn't have worked.
However, I have to admit that I was tempted to try the La Mer Crème de
la Mer after a couple of my girlfriends started using it and couldn't
stop raving about it. I went to Neiman Marcus
and asked for a sample (always ask for a sample before spending the big
bucks on just any moisturizer!); I got a very nice tiny jar of the La
Mer Crème de la Mer (and of the Eye Concentrate,
too) as well as instructions on how to apply it: take a tiny amount of
moisturizer with the tip of your finger, warm it up between your
fingers and press the moisturizer all over on your skin. Once this is
done, you can massage the Crème all you want, but not before having
gone through the 'pressing' exercise, which is the key to making the
most out of your Crème de la Mer.
After using Crème de la Mer
for a couple of weeks and loving it, I decided to buy my big jar of
youth. Since I started using it, my skin is smoother and my expression
wrinkles are less obvious because my skin is now more hydrated than
ever. And I rarely have breakouts now! All in all, Crème de la Mer
is worth every penny, and I recommend it to all of my girlfriends now –
I have even sent some samples to my sister for her to try it out. So go
get some La Mer samples, try it out, and let us know what you think!
