Two things strike me about that article. First, a lot of those treatments and creams are known bullshit. A lot of beauty products are, and paying more for them isn’t proof against that. Second, it almost feels like a submarine designed to get people convinced that the products really do work, and if they just spend money on them they can look rich beautiful too.

But I still have a hard time selling people on Petrolatum (Vaseline). Even when I show that it’s the first or second ingredient on whatever they’re using anyway.
