Three of Potions

Liposomes, mucopolysaccharides, ceramides and sphingolipids -- Sweet Jesus! Who knew that just keeping your skin healthy could be so blasted complicated? But moisturize we must, and not with drug-store-brand hand lotion, either -- the metrosexual's gotta have those high-octane, bank-breakingly-expensive, ludicrously-named euro-products. And the very first site of application has to be the oh-so-essential "under-eyes" -- the weakest link in the chain holding back the ravening beast of Age -- or "visible signs of aging," anyway.

Meaning: Attention to detail, meticulous grooming.

Reversed: Stinging, burning, obsessive-compulsive hair-plucking.
