Beauty Secrets

I use a gentle scrub on my face and then after thoroughly rinsing my face, I apply vitamin e oil and then jump in the shower and afterwards my skin is soft and glowing. Many people think I am 10-15 years younger than I really am!

toothpaste reduces redness in pimples, but you have to get the paste, not the gel.
also, lemon juice is a good natural dark mark lightener, ( for pimple marks )
apples are a good natural teeth whitener

I use Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Wash and L'Oreal's Go 360 Clean. I also have St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. I'm almost done with the Neutrogena, it's OK, but not the best.

I scrub my face with baking soda after working out, then occasionally an olive oil, vitamin e oil, sugar, salt, and peppermint scrub. It keeps my skin clean and smooth.

I've eschewed shampoo and conditioner. For about a year I've used a water/baking soda rubbed into my scalp, then rinse. Then I rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar. I haven't had dandruff since I've been doing this and I used to have it badly. My hair is very sleek and soft (I sound like a commercial!) and I know it sounds weird to alot of people, but doing this routine means I don't strip my hair of it's natural oils, but I get rid of excess and I feel clean.

I don't know if anyone else has gauged ears, I have mine at 5/8 of an inch, but I also clean them with baking soda which gets rid of the dead skin.

No, I don't sell baking soda for a living. :P

Vitamin E is GREAT for your skin! I use this Vitamin E Stick from Walmart (it's around $1 in the Vitamin Section). It looks like a chapstick, but I use it on my undereyes before bed. I will also use it on areas of my face that are current trouble spots and it helps as well.
Your body is in repair mode while you sleep, so that is the best time to pile on the nutrients!

does this help with dark circles/bags under your eyes? this is a HUGE prob for me in the morning, i may have to try this!

potato pillings works for dark circles under eyes.

LOL that's cute:) i agree on the apple cider vinegar, when i had dreadlocks i would to a rinse with it once a month and it would completely strip my hair of leftover residue from the locking cream i would use on my hair

Well I like to think it helped with mine. It is so moisturizing and honestly I feel like my eyes look very refreshed the next morning. I would give it a go and see if it works for you, because I do feel that it works a bit for me!
I don't know if Vitamin E is known for releaving dark circles.
If you look at a computer screen during the day, make sure to look away for a few minutes every hour. This can reduce undereye circles caused by straining your eyes.
Also use with a plain black tea bag (caffinated) on your eyes to reduce them as well.
And as I'm sure you can guess, keep your undereyes moisturized and be EXTREMELY delicate with that area. A nice thick eye cream applied with your ring finger will allow for gentle application and moisturization.

i use vaseline as an eye-makeup remover, works wonders on waterproof eyeliner and mascara

Does it help with itchy scalp as well?

when washing my face i use a scrub first then an acne wash after rinsing the scrub off. the first washing only removes makeup, dead skin, and oil, the 2nd wash actually gets deep into the skin & thats when the medication in the cleanser is able to do its job. this has dramatically cleared up my cystic acne. the scrub is a salicylic acid one and the cream cleanser is a benzoyl peroxide. my face lotion after is salicylic acid.

*olive oil for lips...haven't had chapped lips in 20+ years.

*moisturize right when you get out of the shower while your pores are open.

You can make your own layers by flipping your hair over, brushing it down and cutting in a straight line. I've been cutting my hair like this for years now.

I've been doing this for a few months and I prefer it to the layers the stylists used to cut in

omg i would LOVE to try this but i'm terrified lol

If you comb it through and hold your hair between two fingers so you've got a straight line to follow, you can't muck it up - I promise
