When Maria Fletcher won the Miss America competition in 1962 she became the darling of the nation. The most beautiful girl in America.

Flash forward to 2009. Fletcher is sitting in the audience and listing to an announcement of a new stem-cell-based product called Signals. She is 67 years old and although she still has the charm and facial structure she had when she won the competition 42 years earlier, time and environmental issues have played their toll on her face.

“I tried just about everything but nothing seemed to work,” said the former beauty queen. “I was willing to give Signals a chance.”

The rest is history. “I can tell a huge difference in the way my face feels after washing with soap and water. For years I've washed my face with soap and water and always had the same reaction afterwards. I couldn't wait to put a cream on my skin because my face felt so dry. I just thought this was normal, as I've never felt I could be without a moisturizer and then makeup.

“After using Signals for a couple of weeks I began to realize that my skin did not have that ultra dry feeling after washing my face. Of course, after washing my face now, I put on the night cream or the day lotion or the exfoliant. And my skin never feels dry like it used to before using Signals.

“I've never liked exfoliants before using this Light Touch Exfoliant by Signals. With any of the others I've tried I usually got a rash or it just made me feel miserable while on my skin. I stopped buying them and hadn't used one in years. But the signals exfoliant goes on smooth and is a delight to use. By the way, a Signals kit lasts me three months or less than $70 a month.

“I can honestly say that my skin looks better than it has looked in years. I would never go back to using what I did before I was introduced to Signals. My only regret is that I didn’ t take before and after pictures to show the incredible improvement to my face.”
