Eye Care

How to get rid of puffy eyes
Put cool slices of cucumbers on your eyes. Or soak two tea bags & place in freezer for a few minutes, place on eyes & lay back & relax!

Eye Cream
Before bed apply castor oil around your eyes. Plastic surgeons use this on their patients after surgery!

To get rid of under-eye circles
Here are some easy steps you can take for both prevention and camouflage:* Avoid salty foods and alcohol in the evening. Both cause water retention which aggravates puffiness. * Drink at least eight glasses of water daily. * Upon awakening, place chilled tea bags (caffeinated) on eye lids. Rest for 10 minutes and rinse face with cold water. * Apply a firming eye gel that contains anti-inflammatory ingredients like cucumber, aloe and white willow.(available at drug stores)


For thick and healthy lashes
Rub a drop of olive oil at the base of lashes every night. You'll notice the difference within days. Olive oil is a healthier way to define your lashes in the day than mascara.


Make-up

How to make a round face thinner
Sweep bronzer over temples, cheekbones and under the chin using a fluffy brush. Highlight forehead, bridge of nose, cheekbones and tip of chin with light powder.

How to keep your make-up fresh
Keep your makeup fresher by applying makeup, spray mineral water on your face and let dry. Do not wipe.

How to remove make-up
Almond or sesame oil on a cotton ball will do a great job of taking off makeup, including water-proof mascara!

How to get smudge-proof eyes
To seal eyeliner in place, trace over the line with a powder shadow in a matching shade. Another good tip is to use a fine brush, dip it in water then your powdered shadow and then trace over your liner.

Hair Care

To give body to soft downy hair, after shampooing give a final rinse in beer. Then let the hair dry naturally. Lower the head and brush the hair starting from back of the neck. After brushing thoroughly, just straighten to a head full of thick bouncy hair.


For dry hair
Open up a couple of vitamin E capsules and add them to shampoo once a week.

For oily hair
Mix equal amounts of aloe vera gel and shampoo, plus a tablespoon of lemon juice.

For dandruff
Rub salt vigorously onto the scalp before washing your hair. This exfoliating procedure helps remove dead flakes giving instant relief from dandruff.

To prevent hair falling
Fenugreek should be powdered mixed with warm coconut oil and applied on hair. This will prevent hair falling.


Miscellaneous

For instantly smooth feet overnight smother your feet in Vaseline petroleum jelly, then cover with cotton socks. Remove socks in the morning and your dry rough feet of yesterday are baby smooth!!!

Tooth Whitener
