The Meanest-Looking Mommy Wins

The Skin Center Medical Spa is sponsoring "Mean Mommy Face" contest.

We all have our "mean mommy" faces. You know, the ones that can stop a whiny toddler, rowdy child or surly teen right in their tracks. It's the squint of the eyes, the furrow of the brow and the disapproving purse of the lips.

Unfortunately, those faces leave their mark. Permanent furrows in the brow, crow's feet around the eyes and lines on the lips.

Now  wants to help one particularly mean mommy return to her nice mommy face. They are calling all mommies to enter The Skin Center Medical Spa's Meanest Mommy Face Photo Contest. The spa has locations in Wexford, Mount Lebanon and Shadyside.

You don't even have to be a mom. Ines Brady, general manager of the Wexford location, says the contest is open to all women.

"If you don't have kids, you should still have a good mean mommy face," says Brady. "If you're going to have kids eventually, you'll need to practice. If you're going to have grandkids, you need to refresh your technique. And if you don't have kids and don't want them, you need to have the face that keeps other kids in line, like wild children in grocery stores."

Eleven finalists will initially be chosen by Dr. Dominic A. Brandy and his medical staff. From those 11, fans of The Skin Center Medical Spa's Facebook page will vote for one to win the grand prize facial makeover package at The Skin Center Medical Spa.

All 11 finalists will receive a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment for frown lines. The grand prize winner will receive a $5,000 Facial Makeover at  one of the Skin Center Medical Spa's locations. The grand prize includes:

  • Thermage® Nonsurgical Facelift
  • BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment of two facial areas
  • One Juvederm® XC Wrinkle Treatment
  • One Light Chemical Peel

The downside? You won't be able to make that mean mommy face, at least for a while, so your kids might experience a spike in bad behavior. But you'll be so relaxed from your fabulous spa treatment, you won't really care.

The contest began April 6 and ends on April 30. Here's how to enter:

GOOD LUCK!
