Well, let me tell you about this here “advent calendar skin care,” you know, the kind them city folks use. I ain’t no expert, but I seen my grandaughter usin’ somethin’ like it, so I reckon I can tell ya a thing or two.
First off, what is it? It’s like them Christmas calendars, ya know? But ‘stead of candy or them little toys, you get some kinda skin stuff. Little bottles and jars, each one for a different day. From December 1st all the way to Christmas Eve, ya open one up and put it on your face. Fancy, huh?
Now, why would anyone do this? Well, my grandaughter, she says it’s ’cause it’s fun and it helps her skin. She gets all sorts of things, like creams and them serum things. Said it helps her with wrinkles and dry skin. Me? I just use lard, but whatever floats her boat.
- Helps with dry skin.
- Might make wrinkles go away, I guess.
- Fun to open a little surprise every day. Like a treat for your face.
I looked it up on that internet thingy my grandson showed me, and it says there’s all sorts of stuff in these calendars. Some have stuff for cleanin’ your face, some for moisturizin’, and some even for makin’ you look younger. Lord knows I could use some of that!
But be careful, ya hear? My grandaughter got one last year and some of that stuff made her face all red and itchy. Seems like not all them creams and lotions are good for everyone. So, if you’re gonna try this “advent calendar skin care,” make sure you ain’t allergic to anythin’. Maybe try a little bit on your arm first, see what happens.
Now, how much does all this fancy stuff cost? Well, that’s the kicker. Some of them calendars, they’re cheaper, maybe like 20 dollars. But others, holy moly, they can be hundreds! Hundreds of dollars for some little bottles? Seems crazy to me, but then again, I ain’t one to judge. If you got the money and it makes you happy, go for it.
I saw on the internet that these calendars come in all sorts of brands and sizes. Some got just a few things, others have enough stuff to last you for months. And they all got different themes, like “hydratin’” or “anti-agin’.” Makes your head spin, all the choices.
My grandaughter said the best part about it is the surprise. Every day is a little gift for your skin, she said. Makes gettin’ ready in the mornin’ a bit more fun. I suppose that’s true. Better than just lookin’ in the mirror and seein’ another wrinkle.
So, is this “advent calendar skin care” worth it? I don’t know, honestly. If you got money to spare and like tryin’ new things, maybe it is. If you’re like me and just use good ol’ lard, then maybe not. But it’s your skin, your money, and your choice.
And don’t forget, you don’t need no fancy calendar to take care of your skin. Washin’ your face, puttin’ on some lotion, and stayin’ outta the sun, that’s the important stuff. That’s what I always done, and my skin ain’t too bad for an old woman.
But if you decide to get one of them calendars, make sure you read the ingredients, see if they got anythin’ that’ll bother your skin. And don’t expect miracles. It ain’t gonna make you look 20 again, no matter how much them city folks say it will. But it might give you a little bit of a glow, maybe make you feel a little fancy. And sometimes, that’s all a girl needs.
So, that’s all I know about this here “advent calendar skin care.” It ain’t rocket science, just some little bottles of stuff to put on your face. Whether it’s for you or not, well, that’s up to you to decide.
Remember, pretty is as pretty does, no matter what you put on your face. And a good smile is worth more than all them fancy creams and lotions put together. That’s what my mama always said, and she was a wise woman.
