“love is all you need……..and one tiny Wonderbar”- anonymous
Beauty junkies have been buzzing about the Wonderbar ($140 for a box of four), a tiny pH-balancing cleansing bar that claims to improve every skin type, from acne prone to wrinkle riddled. Verdict: After some initial dryness, our skin feels rebalanced, smoother, and firmer. Hooray for smaller pores!
No, because that would be a waste of time. But it’s the same thing as giving up on the Wonderbar at three weeks! You are throwing your money away, not to mention denying yourself the gift of healthy skin. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “I’m dry, should I quit using this?” or “I’m broken out. Does this mean I’m allergic?” The answer to both would be no. This is a process and it takes time. People who give up at three weeks are misunderstanding what the Wonderbar is and what it does. I understand that it can be uncomfortable and less than ideal to break out and get dry, but if you want to get the toxins out and heal your skin, then you have to run the marathon.
I have a friend who recently bought a Wonderbar. She is a skeptic, it’s okay- I knew she would come around. Anyway, she understood the product before she started. I’d describe her as mentally prepared. Mainly because she spent the weekend with me at the beach and listened to me talk to clients about the healing crisis the whole time. So, when she got her first “cyst” five days in, she was so excited. I got this voicemail and it said, “Guess what???? It’s working!! I have a big pimple on my forehead and I’m so excited!!”. I was immediately worried she would quit- some people do. However, she hung in there like a champ and I have to tell you in all honesty, she has never looked better. Her skin is even, balanced and the bumps and redness that have been there since college are gone.
Regarding that dryness people feel…..they tend to think immediately that it is a bad “dry”. Like a soap “dry”. Just to reassure you, it is not. It is a good “dry”. A healing“dry”, and necessary to the process I might add. If you scraped your knee and it was red and raw, what would happen next? It would get dry and itchy? Then would it get darker and maybe turn into a scab? Then it would come off and what might be underneath it all?? New skin would be underneath it all and the old damaged skin would be gone…….this is the healing process. You can get dry patches with the Wonderbar and they can even turn a little brownish, right before they come off! This would be an extreme healing crisis, but it happens occasionally and right where it needs to. It happened to me on my neck and it only took 13 days for me to see healthy skin underneath…..others simply describe a tightness and dryness that subsides as their skin begins to find the perfect balance.
So hang in there, you are not alone. There are hundreds of other faces running this marathon with you, but in this case, it doesn’t matter who gets to the finish line first……only matters that you get there!
There is no easy way to say this, but it’s over. I know we haven’t known each other that long, but when it’s not right, it’s not right. I know you will make someone very happy, though, and I hope you know that I wish you the best. We work against each other and every time I try to do my job, you come along and it ends in disaster! We don’t work well TOGETHER. You always seem to just want to cover things up, but I like to tackle our issues and get everything out in the open. Almost every time there is really dramatic crisis, you are the culprit. Frankly, you smother me too much and I feel the relationship is toxic.
So, I wish you all the best and I will hold the memories close- even though they are slightly traumatic.
Regretfully,
The Wonderbar
p.s. You can keep the acne, I always thought it liked you better anyway.
Thanks so much to the Bollare girls, Alle Fister and Jamie Stone, for a very productive, educational and exciting day with the editors! We held the event in a suite at the Bryant Park Hotel and sat around, very casually, and talked to beauty editors from 20 national magazines about the Wonderbar. They came in 30-minute shifts and it lasted all day long. They each left with their samples and instructions…..seemingly excited and beyond intrigued! It’s like a big high school, this very small editor’s world, where each one knows each other and has a long history together. And in a high school, exciting news travels very fast…….so will be the case here. With the buzz getting louder, we remain very optimistic and confident that the Wonderbar represents a breakthrough in skincare and that soon, many more will know about this new alternative to multi-step regimens and toxic, expensive medications and treatments.
We are ready. 
3-in-1 facial product: the Wonderbar
Let’s be honest: some beauty products are utter crap. They’re all smoke and mirrors and ancillary-offshoots, with few benefits and costing way more than they’re worth. But, because they’re released by XYZ company with a huge R&D and marketing budget, we all hear about them, and sometimes because we’re bored and looking for something new, we fall prey to the hype.
To borrow one of my favorite phrases from the French: c’est normale. Who could blame us?
The Wonderbar is not one of those products.
As a beauty blogger, it’s exciting when I’m able to direct readers toward something not only new but actually worth your attention—and here we have Exhibit A, the Wonderbar. It looks like a soap, but is so much more: a beauty treatment bar that acts as cleanser, mask and moisturizer rolled into one. And while the benefits—fewer breakouts, brighter, healthier, simply better looking skin—are not immediate, taking about 2 months to see as your complexion’s pH adjusts, they are definitely dramatic. I’ve been using it for over 3 months now and jaded ol’ me has been very impressed—I think you’ll be similarly amazed.
Pros: The product works: you’ll see fewer breakouts, clearer, brighter skin, fewer fine lines. Because it acts as a cleanser and a moisturizer, it will simplify your regimen (all you’ll need is an SPF during the day.)
Cons: The price tag, $105 for 80gm, is steep. (There’s also a $40 bar for 25gm, however.) You’ll have to use the bar for 2 months before seeing benefits. Some mineral makeup users might experience temporary breakouts (as the bar draws up deeply buried impurities.)
Verdict: Worth it for acne-prone skin, for oilier skin, for ruddy complexions and for those looking to simplify their routine.

So I’m headed back to New York, as I told you before, to meet with a group of beauty editors and introduce them to the bar. It’s a LOT more desirable for all involved to do it this way because we get to talk in person, they get the product right away and they can ask me questions about the product on the spot. It’s all I talk about anyway, so if it’s a beauty editor doing the listening, I’d say that’s a great thing. I’m terribly excited to meet the poor people who have been on the receiving end of the steady barrage of emails I’ve been sending out over the last six months. And they, no doubt, are excited to finally get me off their back.
Anyway, my plane leaves at the crack of dawn and I have to leave my family, which always makes me sad. To top it off, I’m afraid of flying. I’m the guy who is in your lap if there’s a strange noise. So, tonight I said goodbye to each one and tucked them into bed with tears all over their little faces. They weren’t crying, though….the tears were mine. They were, however, very annoyed to have wet faces when they were trying to fall asleep. I can understand that. I’m going to miss them more than they could know…..wait, I can hear my mother right now: “For God’s sake, it’s only for three days!” OK, so I’m a little dramatic.
By the way, we recently hired Bollare PR from Los Angeles and they have put this all together for me. Now I can put all my energy into customer service and blogging….lucky, lucky you! 
So send good vibes my way for a very successful product launch on Tuesday! Here’s a few parting words for my little ones:
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
~Irish Blessing
The thing is, I am a runner. I don’t go crazy with it, but I do run around 9 miles per week. I began to develop this this issue with my large toe. It was red, swollen and painful and it got worse over the course of about one month. TO the point that my shoe was hurting me and it was too uncomfortable to run. I almost wanted to blame it on my ill-fitting wedges that I wore meandering around NYC, but I’ll never know for sure.
SO….because I am aware that people use the Wonderbar for many different types of issues, I decided to try it out on my toe. I rubbed a little on the side of my toe TWICE. It completely went away in two days and even when I pushed on the spot where it was so painful, I can’t feel it anymore. It really seemed to reduce the inflammation and heal my skin. I don’t know what it was, but it doesn’t matter because it’s GONE.
If you have any skin conditions that you want to get rid of , try it. Take a picture first and then use the Wonderbar. If it works and you provide us with before and after pictures, we will send a Wonderbar to you- on us! We are always hearing new stories about this little miracle-worker…and we can use those stories to help others!
I want to tell you all about a “thank-you” email I received from a client. She wrote that IF she had STOPPED using her Wonderbar at two weeks (which she almost did because of the dryness she felt), she NEVER would have believed that a product could change her skin SO dramatically….and for the better. I know that there are many people who bought a Wonderbar in early 2009 and gave up simply because they didn’t understand the PROCESS. Today, we send a more detailed explanation with every Wonderbar so that people will really be clear on what to expect…..and to send the all-important message: “Hang in there! You won’t be sorry!”
The key things for a new user to remember are as follows:
