After you make coffee... use the stuff that's left (grains?) to rub your body while in the shower. It exfoliates your skin.

Steep about 4 roses worth of petals in hot water for about 10 min and then put the liquid (without the petals) in a spritz bottle for a refreshing feel.

To fix a flushed face boil water, put into a spritz bottle and put a bag of camomile tea. Let it cool completely before using it on yourself.

Sea water helps clear away skin problems.

Stretch before showering... you'll sweat more in the shower then drink lots of water.

Don't rub your hair with towel... pat it dry.

Get out more! Sunshine makes you feel good. Feeling good = looking good.

Eating almonds every day makes your hair more shiney.
Drink lots of water
Get enough sleep
Do not put toothpaste on zits for god's sake it's for your mouth
Brush your teeth everyday, scientists are currently conducting a study in which they believe people who brush their teeth more often live longer. Why? Because they think the plaque that's in our mouth is swallowed and it deposites into our arteries/veins thus creating problems. Strange eh?
Eat healthy but yes chocolate is fine. Life's to short anyway, why not enjoy it =)
Always wear the right size bra, 8 in 10 girls wear the wrong size.
Vitamin E, avacado, and mayonnaise are great when put in your hair for awhile
Ketchup takes the green out of blonde hair if you've been swimming for to long
Have a good attitude, beauty is both inside and out.
Be a true girl, when guys want to settle down, they aren't looking for the Paris Hilton type girls.
Brushing your hair to much is a leading cause of split ends
Go with the fake tan if you don't plan on having skin cancer when your older. Did you know that every person on BayWatch had a fake tan? Yes David Hasselhoff (sp? lol) has a fake tan. Movie stars aren't stupid, most of their tans are from sunless tanners.
The most important thing- be yourself. Don't let other people's judgements or opinions of you weigh you down. People who make fun of others do it because they have a low self-esteem and it makes themselves feel better.

As for the two people arguing above ^ This topic was not about bitches or being ignorant. If you have a issue, keep it through private messages. Not many people care to read about two people bitching back and forth =)

i must try all these out sometime...


my tips:

How To Have Beautiful Legs:

If your legs are too fat, lose fat by going on a sensible diet and exercise. Start a regular sport activity or go to the gym.
Sometimes, legs may not be fat, but look heavy, because of bad circulation. Put your legs and feet up.
If your legs are too thin, improve them with exercise. The legs can look much more attractive with better muscle tone.
Walking and bicycling are wonderful exercises for shapely legs. At the office, walk up the stairs, instead of taking the elevator!
Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time to reduce the appearance of varicose veins.
Smooth legs look more appealing than fuzzy legs. Creams can be used as hair removers, and there are quite a number of shaving tools present in the market. But the best natural depilatory is a turmeric paste, apply it before a bath, and leave it on to dry.
After a bath, make your skin feel good by moisturising it.
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Avoid baths that are too hot
Elevate or raise your legs when sleeping
Always finish your shower with a cold water jet on your legs
Drink a lot

Um... when you finish washing your hair with shampoo and all, put salt on your strands and rinse.

What kind of salt? {i.e Bath salt, table salt, sea salt...}

Tea tree oil helps clear pimples.
Chocolate helps cramps.
Aloe Vera makes your hair smooth.
Avacados are good for your hair.
Shave with conditioner instead or shaving cream cause it's less likely to nick yourself and it leaves your legs smooth and smelling nice =].
Using scrubs, rub in circular motions and it helps break away dry skin.

All I could think of for now =[.

rub water melon peels on your face. it will leave it feeling refreshing !

Chocolate is also a mood elevator =P Scientists say that women actually crave it more during or around their period lol which I could understand. I have serious chocolate cravings when I'm on my period. It has something to do with the compounds/chemicals in chocolate that put women into a better state of mine, especially when PMSing =D

I would love for you to post more tip..I have 2 pimples on my head..& I never usually get zits & I want them to go away!!...please..& thank you

The only thing about eating chocolate when you have your period is that it could actually make your cramps hurt more. I read somewhere that even though you have that craving, it's better to hold off and eat em post-period days.

If you put coconut oil in your hair at least weekly (you have to wash it out a couple hours later) you'll get healthier hair.

I put an african oil in my hair onece every two weeks it keeps it shiny =3 I have the prettiest hair in my grade no joke people think it's because of my spanish heritage.

Perhaps for some women but the women I know and myself, have never suffered increased pain from cramps from eating chocolate. Just as for caffeine, it can make cramps worse for some women such as myself. Chocolate does have mood elevating properties, I've heard it not only on t.v. (NGC, etc.) but I've also read it in the Good Housekeeping magazine.

Yeah and if you diet as a teenager.. Then when you want to have a baby, it'll be a lot harder because something about your body not being strong enough. So eat right. =]

tomatoes and garlic are good anti-wrinklings/aging agents and they're awesome for the skin.

10-12 glasses of water a day (64 oz) are good... helps clear out toxins.

but the best skin care tips would be diet, exercise, & rest... (some dr said that)

honey or mashed banana could be used as a mask.

don't wash your face more than twice a day.

dont scrub your face, pat it with towel to dry after cleansing.

give yourself face massages now and then. helps circulation for a glowing face. use some type of face cream & work in circular motions.

ID LOVE THAT.

i have a questions. you guys keep listing tihngs to put on ur face as a maks but since there mostly fruits wont it just liek slide off...? sry if im being stupid >< btu i dont get it lol

u shouldent wear cheep nailpolish cause it makes ur nails brittle and they break way easier. and ur not supposed to wash ur face too much cause it gets oily.

For most of them, you mash the flesh and put it on your face. It usually says. If not, you usually slice and put it on your face.

eeeeeek! sorry for the double post. can you delete the one up top?

-post above deleted.-

it all depends on yer specific type of skin or hair or whatever. everyone is different.

so if you have dry hair its good to wash yer hair everyday. and you should leave yer conditioner in for like 2 minutes like the directions say.

if you have oily hair you dont want to use too much conditioner just enough to make it so its not all tangled.

for some people the toothpaste works. it did for me. and i just loved the look. heh

some masks are really good too. they help me a lot.

and of course yer diet [what you eat] plays a huuuge role in the way yer skin and hair look or feel.

btw i like the word heffer. its lovley.





yer razor gets dull faster using it. lol, dont forget to change it


i heard scrubs are bad. yea the get rid of the dead skin, but it also damages the new skin coming in. *shrugs* i dont know.

spread the insides of an avocado over you face: it leaves you face VERY smooth =D

Actually, toothpaste doesn't help your pimples, it's just another myth. There are some wonderful guides pinned in this forum though.

tooth paste helps zits?!?!!? I never knew that...... ...... ....

^ It doesn't. Just another myth.

^SO I'VE BEEN WASTING COLGATE FOR NOTHING? All these years...

dry sheets
help youre hair be less staticty
some people can wash there hair 2nce a week and look fine but i know i have to wash mine everyday cause it will look to greasy.
brush your teeth
eat your fruits and veggies

Your hair can get too dry, since most girls like using hot water. A good amount of oil is good anywhere on your body.

And YES! Wash your sheets and your pillow cases a lot. I think I break out a lot on my face because I'm putting my face back into the same germy oily thing every night.

And, if you have bacne, try cutting your hair shorter. I know it's a tough step to take, but I had BAD bacne when my hair was down to my ass, and ever since I cut it short, my back is like, perfect. ^^ Well, almost. I'm sure there are still some dark spots {Are those called blemishes?} left over.

how cum? sum of mai fwens say that. i dont get why

its because the natural oils in your hair come off and also makes your hair even greasier.


watermelon peels are good for your skin.

Ahh, I thought it did the complete opposite..

QUOTE(x__Elle. @ Apr 16 2006, 8:06 PM)

Ahh, I thought it did the complete opposite..

it does dry it out but then your hair is prine to producing more oils which make it greasier.

I used to leave my hair totally wet, no headaches here.

Caffine (spelled wrog, maybe?!) can make cramps worse during your period.

Not sure if its been said yet?! But I know it's a fact, and not a myth.

- Excersize really helps with acne, because you sweat out all the bad oils.
- Drink plenty of water (and when I say plenty, I mean PLENTY!)
- Don't use a ton of shampoo or conditioner when washing your hair, otherwise it will get oily from the soap.
- Teatree oil works great on acne! I also suggest using Clinique Acne Solutions (it's basically an acid mix that you put on individual zits.. stings a bit but honestly works IMMEDIATELY because it burns it off).
- Don't colour your hair too much (no matter what the ad says, dying can really wreck you hair)
- Do not go on a crazy diet, just limit the amount of carbs/calories you take in per day

for split ends... mix some olive oil and a LITTLE BIT of honey in a plastic bag and put it in some hot water to get warmed up. then spread it from roots to ends, [concentrate on the roots though] and after, place a shower cap[or if you dont got any, a plastic bag will do fine] and keep it on for 20 minutes. wash your hair VERY well and if you do it constantly, you'll notice your split ends are disappearing .

really works. trust me (:

Yup. Wasting all that toothpaste you could've used to get pearly whites.

I know the bad stuff that everybody knows. Heh. Um, did you know that peanuts make your nails grow longer/healthier? yup.

Baby oil helps to make hair softer.

Put it on after you've finished blowdrying your hair. After putting it on, blow dry it for like 1 minute.
Start with a few drops first, don't fully drench your hair in baby oil! Its not supposed to wet your hair!

its not headaches. you get really bad migraines when you get older.

but thats probably a myth. my dad tells me that.

desitine makes your zits and sores less red.

i know one!
umm.. nevermind no i dont.
oh yea.
if you shave,you can sometimes use conditioner instead of soap,lotion or whatever you guys use.yea.it makes you feel .. softer..

Actually. Everyone thinks that greasy food gives you pimples, but it really doesn't. It just makes your skin a tad oilier. So all you have to do is get a toner & wash your face with it twice a day. And voila! Your skin will be less oily. :]

Heffer is a word. except it's spelled heifer. it means pregnant cow.

But uhm

sleep with a silk pillow if you have curly/frizzy hair it reduces tangles which can cause split ends which gives you more frizz.

i eat one whole apple every day. This makes you have clear skin. Thanks to the tip, i dont have any freckles nor pimpless :DD
annnndddd..
drink plenty of water :]

wow, i didnt know that
ill keep that in mind

u can substitute eyeliner by just applying mascara close to your lids (:

Wow..people have some good tips!

Drink water!

...Oh, yes and the salt... It takes away the stinkyness of your hair and nourishes. And if you have a smelly mouth, put salt in you water and drink it and I guess it covers the smellyness?

Haha... I don't know where you get this from. They're both purely utter shite.

Your hair should not stink after using shampoo.
And rinsing your mouth out with salty water is good for gums.
Brushing your teeth alone should be enough to get rid of bad breath.

If you do have uncontrolably bad breath. Floss daily and lightly brush your tongue [this is proper hygiene].

Haha, I think this came in handy... I have a few spots I wanna get rid of, because my BFs coming next week, and he wants pictures, and I don't care for pixx of me, let alone with spots =x So, thx for the help!

I already knew about the hair... I've got the best head of hair in our house, ahem....
