Alright here is the skinny of the situation. About two months ago I noticed that my skin was becoming more and more unmanageable. Strange for a man of 33 to admit, however when working in television for 7 years one becomes very conscious of their physical appearance and all the changes time brings to it. I especially noticed bags or ridges forming underneath my eyes. For my last season of Fashion File while in studio I noticed my make up artist kept touching up this new problem area between takes–which birthed a new anxiety that I really didn’t need at the time. For most, especially in this industry, a visit to the the plastic surgeon and a few shots of some kind of a Chernobyl concoction usually will do the trick–however you then start the slippery slope of an aging TV host who’s face becomes a parody of themselves.




I received some press about la prairie’s new Cellular Cream Platinum Rare. Bloggers were going mad writing about how overpriced it was, how it really didn’t stand up to its promises, how it just was getting press for being the most expensive face cream available over the counter at department stores. Well I am a sucker for expensive things, and nice packaging does (unfortunately) have an effect on me, so I decided to get a sample of this stuff.



I went to Holt Renfrew and managed to get two 4ml samples of this cream. Once I found out that it cost $1250.00 for 50ml I had to lay on the charm really thick in order to get a second sample for free. Being seriously concerned about my skin while painfully lazy with its up keep, it was like Christmas morning when the clerk informed me that this cream was an all in one eye and face cream–you mean I get to be a face skin couch potato and still have the skin of Adonis? Sign me up.



Other than knowing there is actual platinum dust in this cream wich refracts light, I am not going to bore you with the scientific details of what it consists of or how it works–quite frankly there could be ebola in the jar, as long as it does the trick, I’m game.



All right ladies here it is, this stuff works. I had a press function to attend after a painful night of debauchery and as soon as I looked at my face in the mirror that morning I immediately cracked open that million dollar cream and slathered it all over my face. Objectively, it firmed up my skin and reduced the bags under my eyes significantly. The colour of my skin became more even, and I was not left with an oily feel. Hours later I noticed my skin looked and felt the same without any combination skin irregularities, or excessive oil deposits. So if you have the $ and you are looking for realistic but progressive results from a skin cream, run don’t walk to your nearest la prairie counter. Only thing is they seem to be sold out, and you will have to be put on a waiting list–and who said we’re in a recession.
