A woman I worked with was given a laser peel for Christmas by her plasitic surgeon friend. It was the most painful face to look at while it was crusting over and healing, but six months later after the pink and red burns healed, her skin was flawless—she was 50-something. Perhaps Ms. Basinger has undergone this procedure; it would explain the lack of lines in the face, especially since her face does not look pulled or stretched. And it could be hormones or a combination of all of the above. As for her lips, they look natural. ARI
