Kym Douglas "Fact or Fad" Facial Products
Beauty expert
Kym Douglas has on her lab coat and goggles to test beauty products in the "Home & Family" laboratory. She tells us why pore minimizers are nothing but a myth. Instead, get a face pore primer for smoother skin. For the best anti-aging results, she recommends products that contain retinol to achieve fresher, new skin after the old layer peels off. Also to rejuvenate your face, create a mask from the Dead Sea that can be removed with a magnet. Kym then introduces a nifty new tool to curl hair as easy as 1-2-3.

Beauty Facts:
1. "Shrinking" your pores is impossible!
2. The most effective "anti-aging" creams contain a high percentage of retinol.
