Stress furrows your brow and causes all kinds of facial crinkles (creases and wrinkles). And I imagine, over time, this repetitive furrowing creates deeper and deeper impressions. (Kind of like your own, personal, facial Grand Canyon.)
So how do you reduce the stress that causes crinkles, sans anti-anxiety pills or a bottle of scotch?
The pre-rehab way. With Bach’s Rescue Remedy, it’s a homeopathic, herbal tincture created over 60 years ago, by Dr. Edward Bach.
It’s totally natural and contains: Rock Rose for terror and panic, Impatiens for impatience, Star of Bethlehem for shock and Cherry Plum for irrational thoughts.
OMG, with those symptoms you should probably be in a mental institution and forbidden to wear shoes with laces, but don’t worry, Rescue Remedy works equally well on boring, old stress.
I actually just put a few drops on my tongue, but the official directions are to mix a few drops in a glass of water. (It also comes in spray form, but don’t get the Rescue Pastilles, they don’t work.) I find the effects are pretty immediate. My face de-clamps and I feel my stress level being taken down a notch. Kind of like that part of the concert where they play the ballad.
Rescue Remedy does contain 27% alcohol. I know that sounds like the amount that makes you go blind, but it really is negligible, when you consider you’re taking only a few drops and it’s diluted in so much water.
So if you’re one of the 6,709,842,594 people (minus some Buddhist monks and some people in comas) on the planet, who are feeling a bit stressed, Rescue Remedy just might be that little, something, something, you’ve been looking for.
that they’re all out to get you, you should probably get them all.

Good God, every post you write cracks me up. How are you not absurdly rich and famous already? And if you are already absurdly rich and famous would you please remember Yours Truly and the other people who's backs your crawled over to reach the top?
That's all I ask.

Hey Sarah,
Thank you so much!!! Unfortunatley, I don't think I'll be rich and famous any time soon, but please pray for me. I will never forget your kindness and generous for letting a new, no-name blogger like me be a guest blogger on thebeautybrains.com. You guys are the best. I bow down to your wisdom and sassiness. And if I ever get rich (I am playing MegaMillions so it is possible.) I will definitely throw a few million your way:)
Thanks again for everything!
The Beauty Brains rocks!!!!!!
Signed your biggest fan (but not in a creepy Kathy Bates kind of way),
