The Secret to the Reversal of Wrinkles
Janice Lewis is the perfect example of what retirement really looks like in this day and age. She became eligible for retirement and social security at the age of 65 but realized that she couldn't lead the lifestyle she was used to on such a low income. Faced with the decision of retiring or remaining a professional hairstylist, she picked the latter.

She knew that remaining in this line of work meant she had to focus on the way she looked and ensure she remained as youthful looking as possible. Nowadays clients are more likely to flock to younger "edgier" looking stylists than to the older stylist's chair. Determined to remain successful in the industry, she began to do research on surgery-free ways to give her aging skin a boost of youth.

After spending countless amounts of hours researching this topic, she reached a point where she just wanted to give up. Almost everywhere she looked, people were telling her that facelifts and injections were her only hope. It wasn't until one day when she found herself in her dentist's waiting room watching a celebrity doctor's television program that she realized there was still hope.

The doctor revealed that the secret to the reversal of wrinkles and sagging skin consisted of a scientific cocktail of youth preserving ingredients that had undergone years of clinical and government testing that dermatologists don't want the public to know about.

Meeting Janice was shocking to say the least. She was nothing like what he expected. Her skin was smooth, her hair was cut into a youthful style, yet she hadn't died her gray hairs. The room smelled of jasmine and clean linens and open windows.

“It’s almost embarrassing, how simple it is,” she said in low tones. “It’s just one easy secret.” She waved her hand in a formless gesture. She looked almost embarrassed.

Well. She looked almost embarrassed, and she looked around 40-45 years old. That was why I had come.

“Of course,” I said. “I’ve heard that.”

“What have

    The whole advertisement is misleading. Why? It gives a wrong impression. It says less wrinkles not every wrinkle will disappear, which is what the viewers have in mind that all the wrinkles will go away. Another misleading fact is that it says sixty minutes. Well what about if you leave it on for sixty minutes but it still hasn’t worked enough so you leave it longer but you think “Oh it’s just 10 minutes more”. They impress the viewer with the sixty minutes when that is not even realistic or possible maybe with a surgery you can have less wrinkles in some hours not with a lotion. Also the viewer doesn’t know what is in the lotion they just put it on because on the advertisement it says it works. The viewer may be putting something on their skin that can damage it permanently.…

    Following his twiching, my eyes landed on Gwen who had just walked in--her "usual" bubbly expression radiating on her face. She stopped in front of Candace and whispered something in her ear. She looked up and her eyes locked on me. I felt like a deer in front of headlights and for an split second I saw her eyes dull. Leading me to believe I didn't see what I just saw, she smiled at me.…

    After a generous amount of silence has passed, I see a girl enter the room. She was brown skinned the way I once was. She had dark hair and eyes, similar to the color of mine. Or maybe the color I once had. I was colorless now. Just like the rest of them. Something about the girl was unusual. Maybe it was just that she reminded me of, well, me. I was instantly infatuated with her.…
