Pink grapefruit can make you look younger!

Our pink grapefruit, geranium and lemongrass lotions and washes have been best sellers this past week. The refreshing fragrance has been a hit in the hot weather.

I have just found out that the person who did a study on Pink Grapefruit that suggested the fragrance made women appear six years younger has taken a patent out on it.

The inventor is Dr. Alan Hirsch, director of the Smell and Taste Treatment ath the Research Foundation in Chicago.

His study showed that middle aged models wearing pink grapefruit were thought by men to be six years younger than their actual age.

Other scents were tried but had no effect including broccoli, pumpkin pie, banana, cucumbers and spearmint leaves!

It doesn't work the other way around. There was no effect on a woman's perception of a man's age. We can't be so easily fooled.

Try out the theory with our pink grapefruit, geranium and lemongrass products. They smell wonderful - a citrus, zesty and zingy- so they will make you feel better even if you don't apperar to look younger.
