Carbs are on my face?

I'm not a girl of many needs or wants. I'm not crazy about manis and pedis and getting ma hair did, but I do like to indulge every so often. So this last Saturday I headed over to my local beauty school to get a facial. Why, a beauty school? Well, its cheap first off. Second off, I really like to give the students a fresh canvas to work off of, mine. Its rarely touched by any ones hands, besides mine and Mr. D's. Third, did I mention cheap? Yeah, $30 plus a tip. Cheap with a cherry on top.

Anyway, I showed up and Oxsana, the five-foot-two 97 pound Russian lady went to work. Through the facial I could hear her hmmmming and hawwwwing about the condition of my skin. "Yew half dry pautches here, and yew half oily ones here". I was sure she was going to ream me a new one about never really taking the best care ever of my skin, and baking to death in the Arizona sun without my SPF, but to my surprise she didn't. But then, the words "There are carbs on your face" about had.me.DYING!

"Carbs" I said? "What do you mean carbs".
"Do you eat rice"?
"Yes."
"Do you eat bread"
"Yes, but doesn't...."
"Do you eat potatoes"
"Yeah, but come on..."
"Carbs, on your cheeks and jaw bone mostly"
"Whaaaaaaaaa"????

After the explanation that some foods end up on certain parts of our bodies, carbohydrates like to make themselves at home in the form of pimples right on my cheeks, and jaw bones. Awesome.

So, I took it with a grain of salt (is salt carb-y?) and ate a 100% whole wheat english muffin this morning, with olive-oil butter spread, and it tasted AWESOME. But, I'm not ignoring the carb thing. I know carbs aren't the best thing in the world for us, but we need them to thrive and sustain. Trust me, I've done the South Beach thing and the results were amazing, but the first time I snuck a piece of tortilla I gained all of the weight back and then some. Moderation, is the name of the game.
