    Dry skin from stress?

    Your problem sounds similar to my skin some years back. My doctor advised me to stop showering ever day, and go as many days as I could manage between the showers. And get some massage oil to rub in at the flaky parts. I started using virgin jojoba oil, it worked wonders for me! Its quite oily...

    Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood

    I would bee more surprised if they had NOT retouched the images, it is the standard today to nip in the waist, take away any bulges and wrinkles, and make the legs look like a mile long. I remember seeing an interview with Kate Winslett where she talked about how for a fashion magazine cover...
