Why good skincare is important, even in a recession--part 2

So consider this my attempt to freak you out (a little) about why it's so important to take good care of your skin, even when economic times are tough. TotalBeauty.com just published a list of the 13 worst-skin cities, and it isn't pretty.

Every part of the country has at least one metropolitan area that makes the list, and the negatives that add up to a bad rating include everything from smoking statistics to stress to pollution to overly humid and overly arid locales.

It's just another reminder that the environmental conditions no matter where we live probably take a negative toll on our skin unless we take steps to protect it. So, while the list may be scary, all those negative factors can be mitigated by good skincare habit.

Take a look at yesterday's post, and take the time to keep up at least a minimal skincare regimen to take good care of you.
