Blogging T: The Face edition


The oft-pretentious, hit or miss New York Times fashion insert, T, had a surprisingly excellent interview this weekend with celebrity facialist/gazillionaire Tracie Martyn. Usually interviews with derms are all about drinking water, getting the "preventative" treatments there's no way you can afford, and hawking said derm's new line of miracle products. But-even though Martyn did shill her pretty Shakti skincare line, all of which I kind of want- she also revealed some practical, new-seeming tips for keeping your face looking young and your body staying thin. Pine nuts satiate hunger? Persimmons are full of antioxidants? Black currant oil keeps skin hydrated? Who knew? You can find a weird slideshow version of the interview here.
