Q.
Dear Skin Care Counselor,
 I use baby oil on my skin, so I want to know if I
should apply Godiva lotion first, then the oil, and then the sunscreen. Can I
also apply your sunscreen on my face for protection? Or is it only good for the
body? And also how many shades lighter will I get? For the Godiva Licorice
Whitening Cream, can I use it under my make-up?
Thank you.
--Lucette Sauveur, Florida, USA

Dear Lucette,
You may apply the Godiva lotion
first, let it be absorbed in your skin, then after about 5 minutes you can apply
baby oil, followed by sunscreen.
Godiva Green Tea Sunblock
Cream is formulated for the face and neck, and can be applied on all exposed
body parts. It is important that you apply sunblock on your face DAILY as
well.
You may apply make-up after the
Godiva Licorice Whitening Cream and after the sunblock. Just allow 5 to
10 minutes between applications.
Moreover, you can expect to get
1 to 2 shades lighter skin by following the Godiva regimen with utmost
dedication. Remember to avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun.
Yours truly,
Skin Care Counselor

Avoiding "Smoker's Face"
 Smoker's
Face is a condition caused by deep, premature wrinkles, and skin
discoloration caused by cigarette smoking. Smoking is found to hasten and
aggravate the physical signs of aging on the skin.
Crow's feet, which
are wrinkles formed at the outer edges of the eyes, including sallow, pale skin
around the eyelids are also linked to cigarette smoking. This may be caused by
constricted blood flow to the eyelid and squinting to protect the eyes from the
drifting smoke from a cigarette stick.
Aside from
creating wrinkles on the face, cigarettes contain nicotine which may diminish
the body's blood flow and prevent the necessary oxygen in blood cells from
reaching the skin.
The best way to
avoid smoker's face is to quit smoking. This is also the best
approach to avoid other health conditions associated with smoking.
