Los Angeles - Glowing skin is always in, but how do you maintain a youthful exterior when you're pocketbook may be feeling the pinch?
Hollywood skin care guru Deborah DePiano polishes the skin of such fabulous folks as actress Courtney Cox and superstar pitcher Barry Zito, and she has an arsenal of home-grown tricks to make the good looks last in between appointments.
Deborah DePiano:
"Because of the economic situation today, I needed to find something for my clients to keep their skin looking great as they go longer in between their facial appointments."
Number one in her arsenal... the Clarisonic . This power brush keeps you polished at home.
Deborah DePiano:
"It oscillates 300 times per second. You can see a difference and feel a difference after one treatment."
You can even use it on your hands.
Deborah DePiano:
"Your hands will look younger and it's quick."
Deborah says you can't cheat on anti-aging serums and moisturizers... but you can cheat on cleansers and toners. Just grab products like Purpose and Cetaphil at your local drug store.
Then, she says, there's the oldest trick in the book... baking soda.
Deborah DePiano:
"You can use baking soda mixed with a little bit of water and use that as an exfoliating scrub and lightener. It's under a dollar!"
Even though some of Deborah's clients are coming in once every two months instead of monthly, they're still looking fab.
