Danni's Doorstep: As Seen on TV...Not: Clean and Clear


-->
TV and Advertising are riddled with inaccuracies and some of them bug me more than others. One of the types of commercials that bugs me the most, are the face wash commercials. Really it’s only one part of the commercial that makes me angry and it’s the part where they splash the water in their face.

I’m sorry but there is no way that you can do that and not look like a drowned rat. I’ve tried!

What ever you’re wearing ends up getting soaked. Most of the time it’s your shirt but sometimes, depending on your enthusiasm, it can look like you’ve peed your pants. You always end up getting water all over the floor and generally you’ll need to blow dry your hair afterwards because it completely impossible to not get your hair wet when washing your face. Unless you’re wearing a shower cap but really, who where a shower cap when washing their face.

Below is what I believe to be the worst offender: Clean and Clear Morning Burst


Now this is nothing against the product it’s self. I use Clean and Clear products and I love them. But the commercial looks absolutely ridiculous. No one is that excited when washing their face and she didn’t have a speck of water on her clothes or hair.

Now I’m not saying the advertising companies have to make people covered in water in their commercials, but they could make it a little more realistic. Have their hair be a little wet and have them toweling off their face and looking refreshed. Or instead of having the girl afterwards in the same clothes as before look exactly the same except she more awake, have her dressed and ready for the day.

Have any of you ever been able to wash your face and not flood the bathroom?
