Jackie Healy Ray gets the beaut.ie Election Treatment

Our election based efforts have not gone unnoticed over on irishelection,com, I am pleased to note. Blogger Maman Poulet highlighted our post about Greeenennn candidate Paul Gogarty, and wondered if we'd be giving Jackie Healy-Rae the beaut.ie treatment next? Her wish is our command, and it's particularly salient today, as we've just spent the weekend in Kerry and got a grand auld look at his fetching campaign posters.

She wondered what hints, tips and product recommendations we'd have for Mr Healy-Rae and to be honest, my initial thoughts were 'paper bag over head with eye holes cut out', but I soldiered on. I don't like to let anyone down.

Lets tackle that ravaged skin first, shall we? Moisturiser should be item #1 on Jackie's beauty shopping list. A fine dose of that every morning and night and those mountainous peaks and troughs round his eyes will smooth out only lovely. He's showing rather more than the requisite seven signs of aging too, I reckon, so Olay Regenerist might not be industrial strength enough - but sure, it's worth a try. Isn't it? Hmm?

And as Maman Poulet so wisely pointed out, there does seem to be some signs of rosacea there too, so we'd recommend he get himself to his nearest La Roche Posay stockist for supplies, pronto.

Finally, those brows need a serious trim and all that gabbing he does means his lips must be dryer and more cracked than the Sahara in August. So while you're in the chemist, Jackie, grab a Chapstick too. All those babies you have to kiss will thank you for it.
