It's reported that David fell in love at first sight with Victoria (hello, the Beckmans?), and referred to her as "the one with the legs". I wonder how her legs must look like now, after 4 kids. I'm sure they must still look really hot. Like the rest of her body. Mine, on the other hand, are a different story altogether, particularly my knees.
I've got what's known as 'mummy knees'. Which essentially is due to the following reasons:
1) Kids are small. Mums are big. Mums have to get down to kid level to do many kid-related things. Like tying shoelaces, getting dressed, kissing boo-boos and wiping snotty noses. Most of this is done on our knees so that we can be at their level.
2) I have kids. Kids who have toys. Toys reproduce and find new homes all around the house. Like under the kitchen counter or behind the sofa. Either way, my knees are paying the price.

So here I am, thinking I've got reasonably ok skin, (apart from my knees - my knees are crap, thanks to the points shared above), and the good folks at NIVEA show up, bearing 3 tubes of NIVEA Body UV Whitening Serum with SPF25 (PA++) and a checklist of ten signs of aging.

Is my skin rough? Um my heels are, I suppose.
Is my skin cracked? You mean like a dehydrated dessert? Thank heavens no, but hey my heels aren't looking too good.
Is my skin flakey? Whoa, my knees are answering to that one.
Is my skin peeling? Knees, you've got that point covered as well.
Does my skin itch? Man, now that I think about it, yes! My arms sometimes itch for no apparent reason!
Hmm. That's 5 out of 5 already. I shan't make myself further depressed by reading in. But you can if you want. Is your skin scratched? Uneven? Tight? Stretched? Stressed? Hey, I'd be stressed if I were put under scrutiny like that.
Alrighty then, it's time to take action. NIVEA Body UV Whitening Serum with SPF25 and your cocktail of ingredients that promises to restorate my sun damaged cells, keep my skin hydrated and glowing, firm and supple, and reduce pigmentation, let's see what you've got!
14 days to better skin? NIVEA, I say "challenge accepted!"
