Be Good to Your Skin
I used to be terrible about washing my face at night. Tired and distracted, I
would simply brush my teeth and fall into bed. But then, skin care expert Mark
Lees suggested I wash my face the moment I get home from work, before my
evening began. That small piece of advice changed everything for me. I'll bet
you have a few bad skin care habits too. I get it! That's why esthetician Susannah
Courteau off ers tips on how to break some of the most common bad habits (page
12). We also include a fl ourless chocolate chip cookie recipe in this issue, because
guess what? Dark chocolate is good for you (and cookies are awesome). Enjoy!
