It was the empty bottle of my sunscreen lotion that made me land in a cosmetic section of the departmental store where I found this two cute teenagers conversing about the most branded cosmetics products and helping each other to buy richest product.
It reminded me the site of my teenage wherein even I use to walk with bunch of my girl friends in cosmetic section in hope that after using this product we will compete any fairy angel. I had to stop the flow of my memories, as their conversation was taking a narrow turn to fight. “Please Laura why don’t you understand this product is only for acne and not for oily skin” her tone was a combination of irritation and convincing. “Listen Grete you are small don’t you understand if your acne is cured you will be able to attend the Nyah’s party as I won’t take you like this, do u understand?” Her tone reflected her domination which proved she was elder. But what made me sad that this two were buying such things which were going to help them, but for very short time.
I walked towards their rack and picked the product. It was the same about which they were discussing. I called the help boy asked him its contents” Jesus, look at the heavy chemicals it carries. Do you know how much damage this things make to your skin? And how the hell do you sell such products. As of you all are worried about your sale graph. What the hell does it matter to you when such beautiful teenagers like them will suffer because of these chemical oriented products? Pointing to those two and they gave me smile; the smile was definitely because of the adjective that I added to their identity. The help boy was no wonder, left stunt as if he was gathering words to calm me. But before he could say anything I kept the product and started walking towards the exit door, when these two sweet teenagers came running behind me “Excuse me, excuse me excuse me miss” it was the right time to converse with them and help them as now they will be interested. I turned back.
They were still breathing heavily “Hi I am Laura Caste llano and she is Grete Caste llano” “oh, hi how may I help you dear?” I wanted them to talk. “Well miss….” “Sarah, you can call me Sarah”. They stopped breathing heavily and began to ponder all the quest. “Umm yeah thanks. Well Sarah you just said in the store about those products. How can you say that those products are not good? As all my friends use same brand.” They both almost stared at me in restlessness; they needed a quick answer to their questions.
“Well, to introduce properly I am Sarah Rodriguez, a skin specialist. So I know the proper constituents needed in cosmetic product that is required to make your skin healthy.”
After listening my proper introduction the elder quietly whispered “ No doubt damn, that’s the she looks so beautiful”. Well girls I heard that.
Suddenly smiles occurred on their faces “oh that’s great you know we were so confused what to buy as we want look beautiful” the younger one stated very innocently.
Here comes the main problem which I waiting for “ Listen dear, you can never look good unless you don’t possess good healthy skin, and all this product will anytime help you, but only for short time. But if you want to have healthy skin throughout your life, these things won’t help you”. The younger one lovingly asked me “oh so will you please help us buying the right stuff?”
Their eyes hoping I will agree to their demand and help them “hmm … ok I will tell you some secrets which my mother revealed me during those days when even I was like you gals” they smiled blushingly.
“It was her trip to India where she found this magical herb known as Ayurvedic herbs which are most beneficial for skin treatments” they both were listening to me so carefully through out our talks and took all the needful information. Moreover I was happy to help them and provide them with the needful information. And we left on a good note but late that night I was thinking there are so many teenagers apart from those who drop in my clinic whom I might help. So I got up went to laptop and just thought to share the secrets with all those beautiful girls. I really hope my article help you all beautiful girls around.
