Dr. Perricone

I have a job coming up.  It's a beauty video for "Dr. Perricone" skin products.  Some of you guys might have heard of him.  He's written a best seller book called "The Perricone Promise"--yes ladies, he tells you how to be and stay BEAUTIFUL.

I was curious as to why he was so popular so I went to his website and found his "daily blog".  Lo and behold two days ago he posted something that you all might find interesting:

He lists these risks/rewards if you have a Hispanic/Latino skin tone.

Risks:

1- Acne!--all I can say is keep your skin clean and slow down on those tamales you ate at Christmas time!

2- Hispanic skin can suffer from "exaggerated" inflammatory response from chemicals, irritants and mild trauma---I say be GENTLE to your skin at all times!

3- Can suffer from LARGE PORES-- My two cents here would be to clean your face twice a day, never go to bed with your make up on.. Have facials if you can afford it but if not do a mask at least once a week and maybe twice during the summer months.  Don't forget to moisturize.

Ok, here are the good news:

Rewards:

1- Increased melanin offers more sun protection--So all you morenas might stay out in the sun longer but still USE SUNSCREEN-- or you will get sun spots--I know from experience.

2- Not as prone to fine lines and wrinkles--   :)!!!

3- Resists sagging and loss of tone.

**One thing to remember is that Dr. Perricone seems to be referring to all my Latinas who are Olive skin and darker.  Those of you "gueras" with lighter skin --well all these things might not really apply...

Thought you'd enjoy this and don't forget the sunscreen!
