Most super models are aware of the fact that Preperation H is great for diminishing small wrinkles on the face and dark circles under the eyes. All it takes is a small dad rubbed into the skin at night before going to bed and old, tired eyes and skin regain some of their youthful appearance. The down side is that Preparation H has a large amount of shark oil in it, so until it is fully absorbed it smells a little fishy.
The day I found out that Preparation H is good for wrinkle prevention will always be very vivid in my mind. Maybe you can imagine my horror and disgust the day I overheard this conversation going on between two of my friends, still believing they were using Preperation H the way it is normally used:
"Did you get the Preparation H?"
"Sure did. I'm not using that little plastic nozzle thingy. I've just been squirting it straight from the tube onto my finger and rubbing it all over the entire area like you told me, but especially on the real wrinkly places."
"That's good. Boy, the first couple of times I used it I really got carried away with it. I had it so thick it started dripping and I had to clean some of it off with a piece of toilet paper."
"Me too. Do you dab it on with a tissue and leave it thick or use your finger until you make it disappear?"
"I leave it just a little wet and let it soak in, but you can probably do it either way. Once it is absorbed the nasty smell goes away. Be sure to get it in every nook and cranny."
"I try to, but the first time I used it I learned that it really makes your eyes water if you aren't careful where you put it."
"Oh yeah, I forgot to warn you about that. So, do you think it's working for you yet?"
"I think so, but I'm not sure. The light in our bathroom isn't very good, so I haven't been able to see it well enough."
"I had the same problem so I had my daughter look for me. We have a real bright light in the kitchen so I got right under it and had her check it out. My son came in and wanted to know what we were doing, but I just told him she was looking for my contact lens. That boy is such a tease. He said we looked like apes checking each other for bugs."
"I'll ask my husband to check it out for me. I'm doing this mostly for him anyway. I know he doesn't like my dark circles so I hope it takes care of them too."
"Oh, I think it will. It got rid of mine, at least. Even my mom and dad noticed it. Now my dad is wanting Mom to start using it too."
"Yeah, I've noticed that your mom has quite a few pucker lines."
"Yes she does, but that's not what dad teases her about. He says the loose skin on her cheeks flaps in the wind."
"Ooooh, does she get mad when he says that?"
"No, she's a good sport. I bet she'd like using it though, because I think it will tighten up some of the excess skin she has laying in big folds."
"Oh good. I worry a little that my husband will tease me about the smell. I really don't think I want to be teased about this. I feel weird enough smelling like fish as it is."
"I know what you mean. The worse problem I've had with my husband is that I thrash around in bed and get it on his pillow sometimes. He really hates that. I've started putting it on earlier so it has time to soak in before bed. It doesn't smell fishy that way and doesn't get on our pillows. Now he doesn't complain so much."
"Has he been able to see the difference?"
"Sure he has. Everyone has. Even the guy at the post office,,,I can't remember his name, but he even said he could see a difference in how nice everything looks now. I was just feeling really good about it that day so I told him about it right there in the post office. I had him take a close look and he was really impressed."
"I hope your husband doesn't find out, he might think the guy was trying to pick you up."
"No, he's actually pretty good about that kind of stuff. He'd probably feel proud that the guy was admiring what he saw."
"One thing I've noticed is that it really has a great moisturizing effect. I caught myself the other day in the grocery store running my finger up and down my deepest creases feeling how nice and soft they are. I hope no one noticed. I'd hate to have to explain that I was checking to see if my Preparation H was working."
"Heh-heh, I know. Some people would just never understand."
