My best friend spends $85 on "luxury" body lotion... but my Cellulite-Cream gave me softer skin. Do I tell her? Ladies, I'm in the most awkward situation. My best friend Carol and I are both 66. We've been friends for over 30 years. And for the past few years, we've both been struggling with the same thing... That rough, dry, uncomfortable skin texture that just makes you feel OLD. Carol has been buying this expensive "luxury" body lotion from some fancy boutique. $85 for a jar that lasts maybe three weeks. She swears by it. Meanwhile, I'd been trying every drugstore lotion I could find... Nothing was working for either of us. Our skin still felt rough and dry and uncomfortable. Then a few months ago, I decided to try this cellulite cream my cousin told me about. She's a nurse and said it was ranked #1 by dermatologists for stubborn cellulite. I wasn't even that focused on cellulite honestly... But I figured if it helped smooth my thighs, great. So I started using it twice a day. Within the first week, I noticed something strange... The skin on my thighs felt INCREDIBLY soft. Not just smoother from the cellulite improving. The actual texture of my skin felt better than any lotion had ever made it feel. I thought maybe it was just that area. But then I started experimenting... I began applying it to my arms. My stomach. Other areas where I didn't even have cellulite. Ladies... My skin became the softest it's been in YEARS. Like genuinely soft. Comfortable. Smooth. My husband keeps commenting on how different my skin feels. Then last week, Carol and I were having coffee... And she grabbed my arm while we were talking. She stopped mid-sentence. "Wait. Your skin feels SO soft. Did you finally try that lotion I recommended?" I froze. Because here's the thing... Carol has been raving about her $85 luxury lotion for MONTHS. Telling me I need to invest in "quality skincare." Meanwhile, I've been using a cellulite cream that costs $40... And my skin is noticeably softer than hers. I didn't know what to say. I tried to explain about the cellulite cream... But she just looked confused. "A cellulite cream? For soft skin? That doesn't make sense." Now every time we talk, she keeps asking what I'm "really using." She thinks I'm lying about the cellulite cream and secretly bought her expensive lotion. But I DIDN'T. I'm literally just using this cream I bought for my thighs... And it works better than her $85 luxury product. I feel guilty because she's spending so much money... While I accidentally discovered something that works better for a fraction of the price. But she won't believe me when I try to tell her. What would you do? Keep trying to convince her? Or just let her keep spending $85 every three weeks? I hate seeing her waste money when I KNOW what actually worked for me... But she thinks I'm making it up or hiding something. This is so frustrating. P.S. If you're curious about the cellulite cream I'm using (for soft skin apparently), I'll link the article my cousin sent me below. It's a Top 5 list, but #1 is what gave me softer skin than my friend's $85 lotion.
