What the H can we do about zits and wrinkles?

How is it you can be in your late twenties and still have pimples? How is it you can be in your early thirties and already have wrinkles? Fortunately for my wonderful boyfriend, Andrew, his subtle "wrinkles" look more like sophisticated symbols of his sexiness. Whereas my "pink lady bumps" are just....sad, and they must be destroyed immediately.

I read in US magazine (or was it People) that actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon (top) used Preparation H to zap away zits. I've always heard that old Hollywood starlets used to use the cream, as unappealing as that is, to shrink wrinkles.

As usual, I've found a lot of conflicting information online. Many people in chat rooms said they use it to shrink wrinkles and it helps. PeoplesPharmacy.com says, "Preparation H has been reformulated. It no longer contains Live Yeast Cell Derivative (LYCD). As a result, any reports about its power against wrinkles and other skin problems are probably no longer relevant."

So Andrew and I put it to the test-- although I hope his experiment doesn't work:)

Andrew spread the cream under his right eye and let it set for 10 minutes. He wants me to add that he was watching football while we waited. I smeared the cream across my forehead. We waited.......I felt nothing. Andrew felt his eye slightly tighten. We waited...I really don't like watching football. But then again, my boyfriend did put Preparation H under his eye:)

Ok time's up. And nada. His eye doesn't feel tighter and it doesn't look tighter. I didn't expect my "lady bumps" to go away in 10 minutes, so maybe they'll look better tomorrow. I'll let you know if they do. They do look slightly less red though!

Bottom line: Sorry starlets. No lines are filled here. But if you'd like to avoid numbing your expressions with Botox, I hear the original Preparation H formula is still available in Canada. If any Canadians want to send me a tube, feel free!!!
