While it’s safe to say everyone reading this pretty much looks absolutely perfect all of the time, even when they’ve just woken up, or just been the recipient of an atomic hangover, or just finished rescuing some small mud bears (they exist, look it up), sometimes, SOMETIMES we slip up and drop our incredibly shiny and perfect glossy veneer.
And so, even though this post is probably entirely irrelevant, I thought I would list some of these, and the appropriate fix. I wouldn’t even bother reading it, if I were you! What a perfectly good waste of time.
1. You have that white gunk at the corners of your mouth, and you are turning people off their food without even knowing it.
This is not only one of my Nails on a Chalkboard thingies, (the visual version) but also one of my biggest Vanity Fears, right up there with skirt-tucked-into-knickers, or boogers-in-nose. I know that sounds irrational, but it’s my kryptonite. I cannot talk to someone who has a build up of… stuff (spit and lip product) at the corners of their mouth, and pray I never force such visual horror onto others. It’s tricky, though, because say, during an event, if I am wearing a lot of lip product and talking a lot (and that’s when it happens: when you talk a lot with no drinking or eating or freshening up) I can’t very well stop and scrape the corners of my mouth, can I? No. Not really. Shittin’ hell I wish I could, though.

Ha! When you mentioned the spit at the corners of one's mouth, I can't help but visualise Tony Abbott! Eeeyeew!
Zoe, thank you so much for your book Amazing Face, i havent been able to put it down and i cant stop writing lists of all the lovely things i am yet to purchase, tinker with, and enjoy! One question... i would love to know what you think of saunas/steam rooms, if they are good or maybe not so good for the skin?
I love them, but be sure to go in clean faced - makeup and sweat/steam are not that a terrific combo for pores.
