My VERY BEST Birthday, was the one where I turned FORTY!! One of the reasons, and not the LEAST of all, was the fact that just 7 yrs. PRIOR, I had been diagnosed with SLE, (Systemic Lupus Erythematosis) Scleroderma- a HORRIFYING Disease, of course, an Autoimmune Diseas, in which one's body turns against itself! One becomes LITERALLY ALLERGIC to one's OWN CELLS! ALL of them! For my 40th Birthday, I had asked for one thing, and one thing ONLY!! Some Creme De La Mer. I had been a professional Model, working in Oklahoma, Dallas, Milan, N.Y. , Paris, Etc... EVERY SINGLE Make-up Artist took one LOOK at my skin, and slathered THIS fabulous smelling CREAM, ALL OVER mkt face!! I was ALWAYS thrilled when they did, for In KNEW that my skin and I were in HEAVEN! And, it would STAY that way for a few DAYS! I asked if it was Expensive.. "Not for what it IS, and for what it can DO." HMMM.
I recieved ONE gift for my "BIG FOUR-OH", as in Oh, NOOO! The 2oz. size of the Creme De La Mer! I was THRILLED!!! My skin became, over the next couple of years, FABULOUS! I was told how well RESTED I looked- RADIENT, Really well bgalanced skin. My Make-up went on SO smoothly! The Scleroderma was causing my skin to scar at an alarming rate!! For, that's its JOB! It translates, literally "SKIN SCAR." It, almost quite LITERALLY, turns the skin into Petrified Wood! Both the Scleroderma AND the Lupus , and ALSO(: ALL of the MEDICINES that I must take to live cause EXTREME DRYNESS!! This CREAM, and only THIS Cream, because it was developed for Damaged, Scarring skin, has been a MIRACLE in MY life!! I splurge on ONE thing ONLY, in my life- Creme de la mere. It has helped SO much, that my Rheumatologist actually has written me a PRESCRIPTION (well, WHY NOT?? It has helped me more than ANYTHING!) Serious Cream, for serious skin!
