Firming Control Gel. Shore News CCT TRI By Carol Crenna Contributing Writer What is oily skin? It is skin pro- ducing too much oil that causes a hormonal imbalance, leading to an over-production of sebum. This physical state can be further aggravated by psychological prob- lems such as stress, fatigue and other disruptive factors. What other disruptive factors? Many women with oily skin have a tendency to scour it with harsh, abrasive products. However, in- st of cleansing the skin, these products stimulate the sebaceous glands and it begins a vicious cy- cle of over-secreting. Also, some products accelerate dehydration in the skin, causing it to become incapable of regaining its moisture balance. Is it true that oily skin ages less 44 Oily skin... can be further aggravated by psychological problems ...99 quickly? Absolutely not. Oily skin is equally susceptible to en- vironmental damage and toss of firmness and elasticity, However, oily skin masks the aging process a little better than dry skin because of the surface’s lubrication. What do Chanet research laboratories suggest? Chanel sug- gests that in order to provide a long-lasting solution to the prob- Jem of shininess, you must absorb the excess oil.

More than 300 guests were in- vited to participate in a ‘‘new’’ style of bridal show which took place both inside and surrounding the store. The new 2,200-square-foot shop is dedicated exclusively to tablewear, showcasing over 200 styles of fashionable dinnerware, flatware and crystal. It is located on the lower level of the Lightheart and Co. store, which also recently opened in The Land- ing in Gastown. The bridal show featured a the- atrical fashion presentation highlighting both the store’s de- signer tableware and bridal fash- ions by well-known Vancouver ladies’ wear designer Catherine Regehr. By Caroi Crenna Contributing Writer Make-believe brides modelled frothy, elegant gowns similar to those designed by Regehr which appeared in international fashion magazines and on such celebrities as Bianca Jagger. Dinnerware by Christian Dior and crystal by Or- refors ‘‘accessorized”’ the show. Estee Lauder also presented its For Brides Only makeovers, transforming model brides, Imaginative vignettes displayed throughout the spacious shop created a mood of anticipation for engaged twosomes, including breakfast in bed, intimate dinner by candlelight, Sunday brunch, weddings, holiday family gather- ings and picnics a deux. Lightheart and Co., which was awarded Retailer of the Year in 1992 by the Canadian Gift and Tableware Association, has a phi- losophy of total service and greater selection, stemming from consumer demand. According to owner Sherri Lightheart, customers are looking for more than what is available at department stores. Their focus is on accessorizing the home rather than simply stocking up on ser- viceable basics. The shift in the '90s toward entertaining at home, spending more time with family in an in- timate setting, and planning mar- riage tater in life, often with a lit- tle more income, all contribute to this new trend.

You also must minimize the ac- cumulation of excess oil to allow the skin to return to its natural state. And finally, for more long-term aging improvements, you must combat dehydration.
