The Ultimate Beauty Tip Guide

Do you get sick of those black heads that constantly appear at exactly the wrong time? Here's a tip: Use a very mild exfoliant about twice a week. But don't over do it - that can be harsh on the skin and make matters worse.
2 To prevent dry and chapped lips, try to keep your lips as soft a possible by not licking them and by drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration. And when it comes to lip balm - you can never have too much! Apply and re-apply, especially before bed to help moisturise your lips while you sleep. When participating in outdoor activity, use a lip balm that contains a SPF of at least 15 to prevent sunburn. Add base coat of lip balm prior to applying lipstick during the dry winter months. If lips become chapped, avoid wearing lipsticks while lips are recovering as it may irritate your lips.
3 For the desireable evening look, mix your scented body lotion with some shimmer powder. This will give your body a beautiful shine and will look great with anything that reveals skin, such as a backless dress.
4 Zap those red spots! Apply eye drops to blemishes to reduce the redness.
5 Wear sun block on the beach even if you plan to spend the day under an umbrella. The sand reflects light that will cause you to tan or burn even in the shade.
6 Ok, you know that hair removal stuff that is called Epil-Stop and spray? Well, it is supposed to cleanse your skin with no irratation and no bumps. It also says that all you have to do is spray and wipe it away and the hair is gone. Well I tried it and you have to leave this cream stuff on for 10 to 15 minutes! And it does leave bumps and you have to shave it because it does not remove all the hair. It left little scabs on my arms. And it BURNED really badly when the cream stuff is on. So my tip is NEVER, EVER use epil stop and spray ever!

7 I highly recommend the Venus from Gillete. It works perfect and keeps you really smooth fo a long time. A lot of people think the refills are too expensive, and they are, but they give you a lot and last for a week.

8 Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a few drops of lemon juice to create a bleaching agent. Brush your teeth with regular tooth paste; rinse, then brush using the new mixture and rinse again. Do this every day and your teeth should look brighter in a few weeks.

9 To keep teeth bright, sip coffee or tea through a straw and swish water around your mouth after eating foods rich in color, such as berries or soy sauce. Always brush your teeth twice a day and get dental cleanings every six months. The result: your teeth will twinkle.

Hair Tips

1 To stop that awful hair static, try spraying a product like Static Guard on brushes and hats.
2 Be gentle with your hair especially when it's wet. To avoid deadly split ends, use a wide-tooth comb after washing your hair and try not to yank and pull it in all directions.
3 For beautiful shiny hair, wash and blow dry it the night before. Your own natural oils will add to making it more shiny in the morning. You could also try one of the many products on the market to increase the shine on your hair. Be careful not to overdo it though; it could end up looking like a big greasy tangle.
4 To make it easier to style hair, heat up your styling products (such as pomade) with blow dryer before you use them. This makes it easier to apply, and easier to style.
5 To avoid greasy hair, scrub your scalp very lightly when washing hair. When scalp is scrubbed harshly, sebaceous glands are activated, and this produces more oils.
Nail Tips
1 To avoid your nails splitting, always use a moisturiser after washing your hands and file nails only when wearing polish.
2 Speed dry your nails by dipping them in ice cold water.
3 To avoid discoloring of nails, always use a base coat on nails before using colored nail polish. This stops the colored polish from being in direct contact with the nail.
4 To avoid nail breakage, wear nail polish (either coloured or clear) on longer nails frequently to re-enforce the nail.
5 To make hands softer, soak them in whole milk for five to ten minutes.
Cosmetics Tips
1 To get your eyelash curler to work ten times better, heat it for 20 seconds on the low power setting with you blowdryer. it makes your eyelashes perk right up!

2 If you want to have nice kissable lips for the evening, I would suggest using something like lip smackers by bonne belle with over a shade of lipstick that suits your skin color. It keeps your lips pretty, glossy, and moist.
