I’ve got to tell you, it was a bit of a shock when I moved into my current home and the master bath’s vanity mirror was tipped just so at an angle that nearly made me jump out of my crepey skin like there was someone else in the mirror! I started moisturizing like a fiend but it didn’t really do any good. Except maybe… possibly… I just might have forgotten my neck and decolletage now and then. I can honestly say I’ve taken the “ wear sunscreen” advice given in commencement addresses to heart. When I DO go out in the sun, whoever’s with me usually starts our outing by rubbing my sunscreen in better. It probably helps that I was an avid reader as a kid, and after getting a horrible sunburn on a family beach vacation (the kind of sunburn that leaves you nauseous, shivering, and crying because your bedsheets hurt)… I typically don’t go out much during prime sunburn times. Now that I’m letting my gray hair stay gray, I don’t get carded much anymore, but when I was coloring it, it happened almost all the time. In fact, I’ve had complete strangers guess my age at a decade plus younger than I am, which usually prompts a mini happy dance on my part. The same thing happens when people find out that I turned 50 last year. People are shocked when they find out how old she is. My mother turns 72 this month and she is GORGEOUS. I won’t lie… I’ve been extraordinarily blessed in the genes department. But while I usually cruise right past ads on Facebook, this one grabbed my attention long enough for me to watch their whole video. When I do copywriting for clients, half the time I have to practically lock my wallet in the safe to keep myself from whipping out a credit card. Girl, you don’t know the half of how easy a sell I am. No way would she travel through time and leave young Christopher Reeves behind just to BS me about skincare. Plus, the other Crepe Erase model is Jane Seymour, the eternally ethereal beauty from Somewhere In Time. I mean, Crepe Erase has Dorothy Hamill as a spokesperson, for Pete’s sake! Hey, I wore her hairstyle from about fifth-grade until eighth, and I know Dorothy wouldn’t lie, right? When I saw an ad for Crepe Erase on my Facebook newsfeed, I was intrigued.
