Annette Bening: Another Beautiful Face

I have always admired Bening’s work and found her an attractive personality.

Her films are some of those I watch over and over; there is something infectious and compelling about her screen presence.

One of my favourites, dare I admit to this when her body of work includes such greats as American Beauty, Being Julia, Bugsy, The Kids are all Right and The Face of Love, is Regarding Henry.

Don’t ask me why I like it, it is one of those romantic-happy-ending scenarios that appeals and puts me in a bright place. I am all for that.

Annette Bening is truly another beautiful face.

She has aged sensitively and with great self-confidence. In her words, “I like being a veteran, I have fewer illusions.”

It seems not only her attitude but also her style is laid back and the way she dresses, tailored with a twist, is how I would describe her fashion sense.

As for beautiful faces, after the winter hibernation, mine is none too perky.

I have been using a twice-weekly exfoliant to try and breathe a little life back. It is the Glyco Extreme Peel from Natura Bissé and I tried out this product the same day I discovered their miracle mask. Like the Diamond Mask, I went and bought the Glyco Extreme straight away.

The lotion tingles but doesn’t sting and leaves the skin feeling extremely smooth. I don’t expect a miracle but it does help my serum and creams to penetrate and maximise their benefits.

I am going to treat my skin for a month to six weeks and leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash off. It’s very simple but has fabulous results.

Beautiful faces need a little pick me up sometimes, xv.
