Beauty tips
I know most people don't want to share their secrets but i'll be generous and try to start this off. ~To keep from getting zits, use a soluution of 1 part water and 1 part hydrogen-peroxide. Apply to your face at night with a cotton ball and moisturize after. This will kill bacteria and remove oil. ~Which hazel will also remove excess oil from your face and is not as harsh as alcohol based products. ~Expensive lotions are not that great. Baby oil works well, especially on your legs after shaving. The best time to apply any moisturizer is once you get out of the shower while your skin is still damp. ~DRINK A LOT OF WATER AND EAT WELL! Jul 23 05 04:37 pm Link Don't party. Jul 24 05 08:14 am Link Check out Mary Erickson's Q&A page. It has a model prep sheet every model should have, and every photographer should keep in his/her arsenal and hand out to new models. http://www.themakeupartist.com/portfolios/qa.php Jul 24 05 08:23 am Link Thanks for the tips, I love sharing. - Heat tea bags to release the herbs, then chill in the fridge over night. The next day apply to eyes for 30 min, this will bring down puffiness in the eyes. Also the classic method of chilled preparation H cream will work too. - If you do get a zip put a hot cloth on it for 10min, then apply some neutragina spot treatment. Do this a right before bed. Repeat every night until gone, you should see improvement by the next day. Jul 24 05 08:24 am Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Blashfamy, bring back Heroine shiek. Jul 24 05 09:32 am Link Posted by Jack D Trute: Posted by XtremeArtists: Blashfamy, bring back Heroine shiek. OK, you asked for it. Jul 24 05 09:38 am Link He's hot. I think I just got arroused. Jul 24 05 09:45 am Link I use baby powder scented vasoline on my body as soon as I get out of the shower. Just a thin layer and rub it in. It makes my skin silky smooth. Also I use to get heat rash on the backs of my arms and ever since I started using vasoline I havn't got any. Sounds wierd I know, but if it's good enough for my kids bottoms then it's good enough for me LOL. Jul 24 05 10:52 am Link I shave my legs with baby oil (not made of real babies) instead of soap or shaving cream, which makes things silkier. I also have very fine, fragile hair that tangles easily. In order to keep it from breaking, I always run my fingers through it and get the major knots out before brushing, this saves on wear and tear. I also use a deep conditioner about twice a week made from blending enough coconut milk with a ripe avacado, and a ripe banana if I have one. You have to wash twice to get it all out, but it works. An alternative is to drench your hair in coconut milk and put on a shower cap for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Sometimes to play up my brunette-ness, I mix equal parts conditioner with molasses. That rinses very well. Damn, I love beauty tips! Jul 24 05 02:57 pm Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Posted by Jack D Trute: Posted by XtremeArtists: Blashfamy, bring back Heroine shiek. OK, you asked for it. Jul 24 05 03:04 pm Link Last time I gave a tip for acne I got blasted. But I will try this again.... for zits try tea tree oil, it smells awful, but works. or caladryl lotion also works for clearing up acne. (yes the pink stuff in the pink bottle) The caladryl lotion also helps to soak up the excess oils on your face. Specially wonderful for us T-Zone peoples.... Our natural oils are good for our bodies and faces, however, we can sometimes produce an over kill of it. Eucerine lotion after a shower produces a beautiful glow on your skin. Keeping your eyebrows waxed is vitally important for the brightness and appearance of our eyes.. Always keep a good lip moisurizer on hand, whichever is your favorite. I prefer Burts Bees... Thats it for now. but I think after near 40 years of trying all different types of tips and tricks, these are my favs.... Jul 24 05 03:11 pm Link Anyone know any tips for controlling frizzy/wild hair? Jul 24 05 03:20 pm Link Lisa, I use tea tree oil on spots as well. I find it's worked just as well or better than any of the traditional acne creams and it's far less drying. As for frizz, try an anti-humectant pomade. Aveda makes a good one. My hair is super fine so I only use a teensy smidge of it when I need it, otherwise it gets greasy. I've had that little blue jar for more than five years now and still have lots left. You may be able to use more if your hair is coarser. Jul 24 05 03:33 pm Link Jul 24 05 03:44 pm Link Posted by Delirium Filth: Don't Blow Dry Your Hair. Let It Dry Naturally. Jul 24 05 04:57 pm Link if you absolutly need to blow dry your hair use the cool setting and you'll get less frizzies Jul 25 05 03:40 am Link ~ Smash up the pulp of a tomato and apply it to your face. Leave on for about one hour. This will help get rid of pimples faster and reduces redness. Jul 25 05 10:06 am Link Posted by XtremeArtists: I second that... The partying kills youthful appearance... Jul 25 05 11:33 am Link The old "take equal parts cider vinegar and water and boil a bit, let cool and rinse hair with your concoction" is a classic for a good reason. It makes your cuticles lie flat and promotes a healthy sheen and makes your hair act as a halo for photographers and make them say "I want to shoot that gal/guy and I want to pay him/her a loooot of money!" Jul 25 05 09:58 pm Link sleep at least 8 hours a day like a virgin cream under your eyes acne-free cleanser on the face twice a day always wear sun screen only wear minimal makeup unless shooting victoria secret very sexy luminating body lotion for dry skin and/or vaseline intensive care advanced healing lotion. aussie 3 minute miracle for the hair once a week I have lots more, too many to list, maybe if it were on a more specific subject LoL.
