Add any beauty tips that u kow and would like others to know

here's the tip of the day from my jellybean site
1.Take warm showers instead of hot ones to prevent skin from getting dry in the winter.

Try this for a clear complexion:

Mix equal amounts of Glycerine, rose-water and lemon juice.
Apply it over your face using a soft cotton. (Avoid applying on the eyebrows).

FACE:
great pore tightening mask: 1 mashed very ripe banana and a tbsp or so of honey (just enough to make a pulp-like paste). rub on face and leave for 5 minutes then wash off and pat dry.

another one which makes your skin feel soft: 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3 tbsp of milk mixed together. massage into face for one minute and wash off.

also rubbing egg yolk on your face works great too.

LIPS:

for dry lips: mix baking soda with enough water to make a paste. rub on lips for a minute and wash then pat dry and put on lip balm.

BODY:

for dry skin: mix 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup lemon juice or untill forms a paste. massage onto dry skin for a minute then wash off. apply a moisturizer. works wonders on feet and hands! super soft.

for feet: mix olive oil and peppermint extract. rub onto feet and put on socks and leave overnight. your feet feel refreshed and smell minty fresh in the morning!

Very Happy

^I've tried the brown sugar and milk one! It feels so good when you're massaging it on your face. And it's supposed to give you a clearer complexion as well.

LIPS: Use Vaseline for your lips - looks like lip gloss, allows makeup and works in an instant! just make sure not to use it on your skin - it clogs pores!

Get enough sleep! I should take my own advice, lol.

Well, if you don't and you wake up with puffy eyes, I hear that cold spoons does the trick.

If you have puffy eyes, use a teabag to make tea (don't have to drink it) then wash out the teabag with cold water and put it on your eyes.

To help clear your skin
Drink Lots of water!
i am not kidding, once i had a bit of a cold and my throat was really sore and my voice sounded horrible, so when i went to school i took waterbottles with me, and i drank them so much and within a couple days my skin had almost completely cleared up!

^^1 tbsp of water+2 L of cool water??? Is the 1 tbsp supposed to be something else??

Cotton pillow cases are better for your face. And you should try to clean them once a week since the oil from your hair goes onto your pillow which goes onto your face.

Dryness around lips/Dry Lips: Use your toothbrush to exfoliate your lips and the area around them with a tiny dot of toothpaste, rinse your lips with warm water, then put moisturizer around lips and lip balm ON lips.

Using grated cauliflower as an exfoliant about twice a week helps reduce acne scarring

Vaseline doesn't clog your pores! I like to use vaseline before i go to sleep, i smother it on my cheeks, lip area, etc. In the morning, my skin is nice and smooth looking + feeling.

Always use mouisturizer, even if you have oily skin. I read that if you have oily skin , and you don't use mouisterizer, then you trick you skin into thinking that it is dry, so it produces even more oil.

^^yea i did mean vinegar, prob spacing out when i was typing that ;)_orange

I definitely agree with the DRINK MORE WATER one .. whenever I drink my water, I can see a huge difference with my skin. It just looks .. less .. dead .. haha.

And for puffy eyes, you can use Preparation H to reduce the puffy/swelling-ness.

Somebody already mentioned eggs, but egg whites are good for oilier skin .. egg yolks are good for dry skin. Plain yogurt makes a good mask too, it can also be used in your hair [as a hair mask] to "neutralize" all the products you put in there throughout the week.

Using products with natural ingredients is usually healthier for you.

Shiny Hair:
1. Boil 2 cups water with the peel of 1 orange, finely chopped. Remove from heat; cool for about 30 mins.
2. Blend the liquid in a blender on low for 1 min until it forms a sauce... then add 1 tsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of apple-cider vinegar.
3. Add 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed. Blend for 2 minutes until totally smooth. apply to damp hair; leave on for 20 mins. rinse, shampoo, and condition. Happy

Wash your face twice : Once to remove makeup and pollution, and a second time to actually clean your face.

pin up bangs if you have any to prevent those unwanted forehead zits caused from the oil on your bangs.

dont use 2 in 1 shampoos, my cousin told me (she's a hairdresser) that they use wax as a filler.

Vaseline on your lips definitely as some people have mentioned already but I saw on Tyra, to take an old toothbrush and brush your lips to get rid of all the dry skin. It works!

Apparently, any grapefruit scent makes people believe that you are 5 years younger than you are. (It was researched at some scent place in the states). So like grapefruit based perfume or body spray.

^oo i have grapefruit hand soap...but if people thought i was 5 years younger they'd think i was 10..... 8)

I dont know if anyone has said this or not (too lazy to read all the posts, lol)

Pimples
to take away redness: visine
for scabby ones: polysporin
for any pimples: clinique spot treatment - amazing it gets rid of them by the next day

Flaky Lips
-put vaseline on your lips
-wet toothbrush
-scrub lips with toothbrush
-dry off

Puffy Eyes
-Either put a spoon in the freezer for a bit or rub an ice cube on it and then hold the spoon underneath your eyes
-hemroid cream works good too, lol

Tips for clear skin
-pin back hair when you sleep
-stop touching your face during the day
-change your pillowcase every couple days
-dont wear makeup when you work out
-use a moisturizer with sacylic acid or a daily shield (clinique daily shield is amazing)

http://www.clinique.ca/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY4913&PRODUCT_ID=PROD661
-and of course dont wear makeup to bed and make sure you wash your face twice a day and moisturize

If you dont moisturize your skin tries to over compensate for the lack of moisture by creating more oils and making you breakout and be oily. The same thing happens if you overwash your face or scrub too hard. Remember: be gentle

Wow long post! Youve probably heard this before anyways but maybe you learned something new, lol. ;)_orange
