The Canadian Connection

Simone and I were talking one day or it could have even been an email conversation. I don't remember who brought it up but she told me she had heard about Preparation H and how it was supposed to improve wrinkles and I think, possibly tighten some areas. I said Yes! I, too, had read about this quite a few years back and always wanted to try it. But I didn't want to be seen buying Preparation H, so I never did it. Then Simone told me that she had read that the Preparation H you can get in the US is no longer effective, because they had changed the formula. However, the PrepH you can buy in Canada supposedly still has the good stuff in it that will do the trick! Ever since then, we have been plotting and scheming a way to get someone to go to Canada and buy up a supply for us.

I guess this is an example of how you change from year to year, as I can tell you I would have no qualms now about going into a store and buying Preparation H. I must have still been living in Hays at the time, where everyone knows everyone and runs into them at Wal-Mart. At any rate, I can remember that the very idea of making such a purchase was just unthinkable to me.

I found a couple of things on the web about this magical product. This link tells about the Canadian PrepH.

I copied the excerpt below from the Yahoo Answers site. Someone somewhere posed the question: Does Preparation H help with wrinkles on your face?  This woman's answer was posted as the most popular answer and frankly, I think we should all try it when we finally make our Canadian Connection. If you want to be amused, read on.......

"If you want to banish wrinkles from the start get yourself a tube of Preparation H. Preparation H is normally for Hemorrhoids but it can also be used for wrinkles. It is cheaper then a face lift and not as painful.

You do not have to buy the name brand either, buy the generic form of it. It is much cheaper and has the same thing in it. I would not advise using a suppository but if that is the only thing that you have around it can't hurt.


How do you use this on your face? Well you squeeze it out of the tube and apply it to the wrinkle. You should apply it to the wrinkle where the wrinkle is starting. This will stop the wrinkle in its tracks. If you have only a suppository then squish it with your warm finger till it turns to goo.


With age there comes wisdom, I am sharing this with you. You too can look 10 years younger. At the Clinic picnic one of the medical assistants daughters asked her mother how old I was and did not believe her. Is this because I do not act my age? No, this is because I treat my face like a giant Hemorrhoid. You should too.


O.K. Now that I have gotten that out of the way, While you are treating yourself to the hemorrhoid treatment you should relax, sit back or lay back and put a cucumber on each eye. This will reduce the swelling around your eyes. It will feel wonderful. Don't put the Preparation H, around your eyes. That is dangerous. Try not to get it into your mouth also.


When I do my Preparation H treatments, I use that time as my pampering time. Just to relax.


Sometimes I go and soak in the tub and sloth the skin off my feet. The dry skin. Off my heel that is. Not my whole foot. That would be gross.


I know that this might not paint a pretty picture of me soaking in the tub trying to get the dry skin off my heels but hey someone has to do it. Alligator heels are ugly and very unattractive.


O.K. so you have laid there and you have done the cucumber treatment and the skin slothing off your feet. Don't take the Preparation H off your face yet. It is not ready. Leave it on longer. Go and write an epinion about a pain medication or one of your pets. Or you can listen to music. Just don't do anything stressful. You will be defeating the purpose of the Preparation H treatment.


You can chant while you are just relaxing. Do leg lifts and arm lifts. This is a great time to tighten up the flab under your arms. If you are cursed with chin hairs, this is the perfect time to pluck them out of thee.


O.K. The time has come to take the preparation H off your face, Get your husbands unscented shaving lotion and wash it off with that. Pat your faces dry. It will feel like a babies bottom.


Haven't you ever noticed how soft a man's face is after shaving with shaving cream? That is because the cream makes it soft. You have to try it. It is wonderful. You may never give the can back to him.


If you already have bad wrinkles, then get busy and start this right away. Time is of the essence here. If you don't have any yet but there is a history of it in the family then start it now.


Let me know how well this works for you. I am sure you are going to be amazed.


I hope that I have at least helped one person here. If only one person benefits from this, then my job has been done."

Now if that doesn't make you want to run right up to Canada, I don't know what will.
