February 2009 Bath and Body Product o' the Month: White Magic

So a few months ago I noticed with horror that my forehead had been blighted by little brown scars from pimples past. (Being a blogger who covers bath and body products often means revealing the sick sad truth about the aging process and its effects on my body.) I was wondering if I was doomed to a lifetime of using cakey foundation makeup when I read about a $40 Clinique product called "Even Better Skin Tone Corrector." Forty bucks is usually too rich for my taste, but these little brown spots were doing a number on my self esteem, so I sprang for it. Even though I don't exactly follow the directions, which involve applying the serum twice daily and wearing sunblock religiously, the little brown spots are starting to fade away beautifully after several weeks. I just put the goop on every night after my shower or bath, and it absorbs into my skin nicely so I don't even notice it is on there. Voila! My little discolorations are miraculously going away, one by one. And the little bottle has lasted me several months now, so maybe amortized over all those days and weeks, the hefty price could be worth it. Certainly the effects on my self esteem have been worth it....I no longer fear that people will start referring to me as "Scarface."
