Beauty Tips
1. Manicure - Mix one cup of warm water and the juice of one-half lemon. Soak your fingertips for five minutes. Rinse and pat dry, pushing back cuticles. Rub lemon peel against your nails, back and forth vigorously. Finish by buffing with a soft cloth.
2. Manicure 2: Before you paint your nails, rub petroleum jelly on the skin around your nails. If you make a mistake it can be wiped off when your nails are dry and it softens cuticles at the same time.
3. Dandruff Relief: Add 30 plain aspirin to a full bottle of your shampoo. Use as normal.
4. Facial: Rub Pepto-Bismal on your skin. It is a better facial than peel off masks.
5. Breath Freshener: Eat parsley.
6. Dark Circles Under Eyes. Place raw potato slices under your eyes to remove the dark circles.
7. Fuller Lips: Dot a little bit or red or orange lipstick in the middle of your lips to make them look fuller.
8. Long-Lasting Nail Polish: Keep all nail polish in the refrigerator.
9. Remove Redness from Pimples: Rub a little bit of Visine on the pimple to remove the redness. This will NOT remove the pimple.
10. Herbs for Acne: Applied to skin: Echinacea, tea tree oil, and oregano and basil oil. Oregon grape root can be applied as a cream.
