I'm now in my mid-thirties. I used to smoke. It started to show about age 31, when I couldn't help but notice I always looked tired in the morning, no matter how much sleep I'd gotten. "You're not tir...

Wow, was this irritating. Also, jar packaging? So unhygienic. Glad I just used the sample jar that came with GWP.

Lousy for face, pretty good for body, though I prefer Vaseline Intensive Rescue for my very dry, eczema-prone skin. I hate big jars, since I always feel the stuff is getting dirty every time I use it,...
