One Month Challenge for the Best Complexion

People Style Watch magazine dedicated an entire 5- page spread in its February issue to help you and I get the best complexion with its "5 SKIN Resolutions" back- to- basics tips!
I am always curious to see what are the latest remedies celebs are using these days to maintain their Hollywood glow. From Reese to Halle to Rihanna, we're (at least I am) dying to know.. what's their secret? Surprisingly, most products are things that you and I can get right in our very own local drugstore! So.. I decided to lend my face to the cause for an at- home, one- month, clinical trial to some of the suggested products. Reason being? One, if not for the sake of my face, than at least my wallet. Since being unemployed, I had to downgrade on a few things-- my $54 Clarins' moisturizer being one. I am sure I'm not alone. What I love most about this spread is that the recommendations are suitable for every budget.
