Growing up, the women in my family had many "secrets" to a clear complexion.
One advised to drink lots of water and make sure not to perspire unless I washed my face right away.
Another would wash her face with milk - fresh goat's milk I think...while another swore baby's wet diapers held the secret.
I wonder if any of them would agree with Joan Crawford's secret...
"I need sex for a clear complexion, but I'd rather do it for love." - Joan Crawford
