Product Fiend believes in looking your best through preservation and prevention rather than injections and surgery. Skin ages and loses elasticity--that's life. But when your face is seen on high def in millions of homes across the land, it's as if the world is seeing you under a dermatologist's magnifying lens. So. Not. Fair. Our mission: to help actresses combat high def scrutiny with care, not needles.

Did you know that Teri Hatcher doesn't use Botox or Restylane? No. She doesn't. Maybe madame doth protest, but would you look at this picture? The woman's face doesn't seem to move. If she's NoTox, then she's either got tremendous control of her emotions or she's lubing up every few hours with Freeze 24/7? There's nothing wrong with looking every day of 44 years old (or sporting a giant temple vein that even the most aggressive concealer can't erase), but it seems like Ms. Hatcher's got a tenuous hold on her ability to stop time or maybe the industrial spackling compound that she's using for plausible deniability is starting to take its toll. (Shout out to Erin: her face is TOTALLY asymmetrical and her right eyelid in this shot is going to show up in my nightmares.)

What to do with an aging beauty like Teri? First of all, lay off whatever is happening there, with the frozen face thing. Only Fembots have immobile features and these days; we expect that someone who might remember the moon landing to have maybe a fine line or two. Contrast with Julia Ormond, only a few months younger than T-Hatch. See how the skin around her eyes actually moves when she smiles? Notice how real and awesome she looks, without contorting her face into an exaggerated theater mask? Okay, Julia is French, so it's not quite a good comparison (all of those cigarettes to stay thin, you know) but let's look at Sandra Bullock, a few months older than Teri. Look, she's smiling in a way that doesn't frighten small children! How refreshing.

So what to do if you want to lay off the injections? Check out something with a fake it approach to elasticity, like RestorEyes around the eyes and then hit the frozen bits with a serum like Osmotics Kinetin Cellular Renewal or the awesomely inexpensive Skin Effects. If Teri wants to embrace her green side (what happens when Restylane goes away? Does it affect the oxone layer?), she can go all natural with Korres Olive and Rye Night Cream when she hits the sack. Then, applying Fresh Anise Wrinkle Eraser under her makeup will have her ready to fight with the other Housewives. You know Teri is so gorgeous, for reals, that it's a shame to watch her face constricting into this weird rictus grin, as though she's fighting just to be able to smile.

And for what it's worth, I would kill for that brow arch. Seriously.
