- Some Common Sleeping on your back will prevent many wrinkles and breakouts on your face, and even wrinkles in your cleavage area.
- Wearing clothes that are tight make you look heavier. Even a slim girl can bulge over too-tight jeans.
- Put on a coat of clear nail polish before a colored polish to keep your nails from discoloring.
- Being angry really does take away from your beauty now and will result in more wrinkles later.
- Wearing less make-up makes you look younger.
- Vitamins and minerals are needed for health and beauty, but more is not always better. Too much Vitamin A or Selenium can cause hair loss. There is nothing beautiful about losing your hair.
- If you are unhappy with a hair conditioner, it will still make a great "shaving cream" for your legs in the shower.
- When shaving, don't stretch the skin or you could cause ingrown hairs by shaving hair off slightly under the skin.
- Drink plenty of water and get eight hours of sleep every day.
- Tighten bra straps as they stretch out, or buy a new bra when they can't tighten any further, to keep the bosom looking young and perky.
- Instead of shaving over and over, with the hairs coming in darker and thicker each time, try waxing. Waxing to remove hair will result in softer hairs each time and result in permanent hair loss after a few sessions. Aussie Nad's is an all-natural product which is easy to use.
- Sleeping on two or three pillows at a time, or on an Acid Reflux Sleep Wedge will help get rid of dark circles under your eyes.
- Exercise while dieting is a must or your skin will be too large (and saggy) for your smaller body. It is much, much tougher to tighten skin after your body shrinks than as you go.
- After washing your face, rinse in cold water (fair-skinned people should use cool instead of cold) to close the pores and tighten the facial muscles.
- If you are out of quick-dry spray for nails, dip your fingers into a bowl of ice-cold water. (Don't to touch the sides of the bowl.) Your nails will dry very quickly.
- Good posture can make you look much slimmer.
- Wearing a low heel will give you better posture than wearing flat shoes.
- Renew thick nail polish by adding a few drops of fingernail polish remover to the bottle.
- Make a nail polish bottle not get stuck closed, put a thin coat of Vaseline inside the lid.
- Clean hair brushes occasionally with dish soap and borax. In a dishpan of very warm water, add 1/2 cup of borax and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Swish the brushes to stir, rinse, and let air dry. Scrub any stubborn spots with a used toothbrush
Hair Care:
Gum in the hair can be removed by saturating it with baby oil, peanut butter, or mayonnaise.
- If your hair is turning green from too much chlorine, rinse it with tomato juice, then a final rinse of water.
- Remove static or the flyaways from your hair with hairspray - sprayed on your brush instead of your hair. Brushing the hairspray through your hair will make it manageable but not stiff.
- An ionic hair dryer dries your hair much faster (which causes less damage) yet is still gentler to hair than the old-fashioned dryers.
- Do not blow dry your hair when it is soaking wet. Heat on wet hair leaves your hair looking dull. Let the hair dry partly first.
- All clarifying shampoos and most dandruff shampoos will remove artificial hair color.
- Use clarifying shampoo occasionally to remove hair color build-up that weighs hair down.
- The right hair conditioner makes all the difference. Thin or fine hair will just cling to your head and look flat with no conditioner at all. A regular conditioner will eliminate the static but still weigh your hair down. Fine or thin hair needs a light conditioner to be its fullest. Conditioner also makes any hair so much easier to comb.
- With any condition except one for dandruff, try to use it on your hair but not your scalp. This will allow for fuller hair at the roots.
- When drying your hair, use a towel to blot it dry instead of rubbing or wringing, in order to prevent breakage.
- Hair is damaged less when using a brush only when it is wet or damp.
- Tangles in very curly hair should be combed out when the hair is wet. Combing again after it has dried can make it frizzy and too full.
- Curl your hair for instant "highlights" since curls catch the light from many more angles than straight hair.
- Roots that are darker or lighter after coloring hair are less visible if your part is not perfectly straight. The zig-zag part is not necessary, just keep it messy.
- For thicker hair that grows faster, add two drops of rosemary essential oil to your hairbrush before brushing. Or, try Avalon Organic Botanicals Volumizing Rosemary Shampoo.
- Hair will look fuller and thicker when you use a blow dryer if you bend over and dry the hair from underneath.
- Don't use the blow dryer when your hair is soaking wet. Let your hair dry partially on its own first to prevent damage and flattening hair. Bending over to fluff up hair with your hands also separates strands for more fullness.
- Alternate shampoos to help keep hair cleaner of shampoo build-up. A clarifying shampoo will take out all build-up, but it will also take out all temporary hair color.
- For hair that never seems to grow longer, trim it a little occasionally. Split ends not only are unsightly, they break. Trimming your hair will make it look better (and will thicken it) and result in less breakage.
Natural Body Recipes
Eye Make-up Remover: Mix one tablespoon of castor oil with one tablespoon olive oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil. Wipe the mixture on with a tissue, wait a minute or so, then wipe.
Facial Scrub: Put uncooked oatmeal through the blender, but stop before it is a powder. Wet your face and hands with warm water, massage the oatmeal over your wet skin, then rinse with cool water.
Facial Mask: Add two tablespoons of honey to half a cup of uncooked oatmeal, and apply this to your face. Rinse off after a half hour.

Age Spot Lightener #1: Dab areas with undiluted natural apple cider vinegar and leave on overnight. You can add a bandage to keep the area moist longer.

Pimple Remover #1: Dab white toothpaste (not gel) or Milk of Magnesia directly onto pimple before bedtime, giving it time to dry. Keep on overnight. A pimple that is just an itch or pain under the skin will go away. A new pimple will shrink and may even be gone by morning. (See more in the "Pimples" section on our home remedies site.)
Pimple Remover #2: Wash and rinse your face before bedtime. Onto damp skin, dab a mixture of one part natural apple cider vinegar and three parts water with a cotton ball. Don't rinse this off. Your skin will be super soft, and much clearer by morning. A forehead full of very small blemish bumps should be all clear in one or two days. (See more on Acne on our home remedies site.)

Foot Care Tips
Soak your feet in vinegar water. Add half a cup of vinegar (white or cider) to a pan of hot water and add feet.
Cutting your toenails is easiest after a bath, shower, or foot soak. These soften the nails.
When your shoes start hurting your toes, cut your toenails.
Wrap a corn with duct tape so that it even the sides are not exposed. Remove the tape and file the corn with an emery board, and add new tape.
To speed up corn removal, soak feet in hot water with vinegar added. After soaking for a half hour, use a pumice stone while the corn is under the water. If you don't have a pumice stone, you can dry your foot and file the corn down with an emery board.
