About Us

If Skin Could Talk is now four years old along with an additional three years experience under the name Fountain of Youth.  We opened our Reno cart at the Meadowood Mall in February 2003 and found a wonderful home for the next six great years.

In 2007 we expanded our usual 3-5 day shows by adding a five month Open Championship.  In 2008 we joined the Women’s Championship in Detroit, MI and currently are at the Open in Las Vegas from February through July 2009. 

We have also been at numerous 3-5 day shows in Greater Reno area including Hot August Nights’ Crusin’ Street Fair at the Atlantis Hotel Casino, Nevada Women’s Expo, Rib Cook-off in Sparks, the Volleyball Festival, Street Vibrations at the Reno Event Center and the Harley-Davidson dealership, the River Festival at the Truckee River in Reno, and several Creative Festivals for stitching and quilt arts.

We are pleased to have touched thousands of customers with such a wonderful product that helps people everywhere improve the quality of their lives. Men, women, teens, children all love it. Now you may think how is that possible?  How can a skin cream possibly do that?

It is the only product I’ve seen where people walk right up to our display, to wave “Hi” to the jar of cream.  They recognize the distinctive white jar with green leaf.  If you ask, have you tried this before?  They invariably respond, “You have no idea how much this product has helped me.”

Click and view a few of our numerous hand-written testimonials; you can see them online just as our customers wrote them.

If Skin Could Talk is at your service.  We pride ourselves to provide the best customer service and work hard to earn your business, which we work at daily.

About the Owner

Toward the end of 2001, I realized I had much more fun as a teacher some twenty years prior.  When I realized it was no longer fun for me, I knew I needed to find a new direction.  The last day of November 2001 I knew something would be right for me just around the corner.  My students were concerned and wanted to know what I would do next, I told them, “I want to work with individuals and small groups.”  At that point I didn’t have anything in mind.

Within a day, a friend asked me it I wanted to sell some cream.  I told her directly that “I was not interested in selling any cream.”  My entire life I had had extremely dry rough skin, especially on my hands.  Usually every product I tried just washed off and I was always upset that I invested in another product that didn’t work.  And even though I told her No, I had to fulfill my curious nature, and see what this was about.

The first west coast cart was at the Paseo Colorado in Pasadena.  While I grew up in Pasadena and had recently held a long-term director-type position, it was quite a hurdle to be out in public asking all who passed by to try a sample of cream. 

My horror was what if someone from my previous life saw me out in the mall selling?  This horror ended close to my first sale.  I thought, gosh, I can do this and its fun.  And I reminded myself that I am working with individuals and small groups.  The embarrassment began to peel away. 

On the second day I went to the mall restroom and experienced something special.  My hands were still soft after being washed and dried.  Weeks later I remembered thinking, “I feel some softness in there, I feel softness in there.”  The product helped to exfoliate the dry dead skin on my hands that had been there for ever.  I started to have the idea this product was different and worked.

After two days at Paseo Colorado, my friend was asked to manage a new Corium cart in Las Vegas.  She asked me if I wanted to go too.  “Of course not, why would I go to Vegas?”  Then I thought hey, what the heck, I’ll go and see how I like it.  We arrived on a Friday and even with the long hours, I had truly found my calling, I loved it. It allowed me to learn to sell, as well as using my creativity for displays and to create packages for the holidays.

During Christmas time a very dear friend walked around the cart to see me selling this cream in Vegas.  She knew I was teaching.  She kept telling me that I was doing this for extra money, and I would return to teaching.  I had to tell her I left teaching a few times and I’m now doing this full-time. After she left, I was in tears.  The manager took me aside and asked “Was I upset because now I’m seen as just a lowly sales girl?”  I gave an immediate YES.  I realized that both in teaching and selling I work hard and stand the entire day.  But by selling the cream I am really able to help people and they are grateful for the help I give them and the wonderful product they have will help them.
