i use to love putting vaseline on my lips before going to bed, when I woke up they felt sooo soft and pouty... it was awesome! Ugh, where is my vaseline, works so good for so many things. I have bad skin though so I can't put it on my face

I never use sunscreen except on my face. I have really pale skin but never sunburn or even tan, even if I try. I like being pale but sunscreen just doesn't seem neccesary when I don't get any sun, its like I'm invisable to it or something.... but my face already has alot of redness in it and my nose will burn sometimes, so I use sunscreen on my face.

Honey can work as a facial mask because honey has natural antiseptic qualities. It is also good for colds.

Milk will soften skin, so mix it with honey and you get a pretty good thing going. For exfoliating qualities, work in some dry oatmeal.

Ill stay close to this thread haha

I have very weird skin!!! First of all Im not white and I don´t have the nice brown tan color either, (I always say that im somewhere between green and yellow) I don´t have acne problems, but my skin is always dry and itchy, even if I put creams on my face is like all of my pores are open and dry, I hate it

I wish I had shiny skin hahawww

I suppose I should mention that old cucumber slices over the eyes trick to get rid of under eye bags.

Hm.

A free steam facial; when pouring out that water left over from boiling pasta into the sink, carefully lean your face in the path of the steam.

hahahaha that last line made me laugh so hard for some reason

i had a friend that used hemorrhoid cream (preparation h) on her undereyes if they were dark and puffy. always thought it was really funny and maybe a little harsh for facial skin but it def worked

i'm a fan of oil-based or just straight up oil left in hair overnight every few weeks, and no heat drying. my hair is a bit passed my waist and i have less split ends then when is was shorter but before i did these things

Well, yeah. I learned the hard way with a bag of freshly popped popcorn. It just smelled so good, I opened the bag right up and stuck my face close to inhale the buttery smell.

My world was a world of steaming pain.

So in the end with that in mind, I've been giving myself free steam facials for a while and no pain because I am careful. Yep.

Seriously, it works wonders!  Especially pine.  Just put a bit on a bandaid and off you go.

Mayonnaise makes your hair silky! Just put some in for 10 mins and wash and rinse as necessary. Mix a banana and some honey to moisturize your face, makes a good mask. Also a little bit of baking soda and some warm water on a zit will help it go away faster and reduce redness if you it on a blemish over night.

I tried honey as a face mask yesterday, and it definitely made my skin soft.  I also had some redness which it reduced.  Yay!

Try mayo

Does anyone have anything for hair that has been dyed so many times it is just falling apart?  When I was  younger I used to dye my hair every month and it is completely damaged.  If I cut off the damaged part my hair will be way too short for my liking.  On the top of my head my hair is smooth and silky and then the rest of my hair is dry, damaged and poofy.  It looks really weird when I have my hair down straight.

That happened to me too. All i can tell you is DONT use hair dryers or heat styling unless you absolutely have too!! Get yourself a good conditioner, and leave it in overnight twice a week, and regular trims because the damaged hair will just keep splitting and you'll end up with really bad split ends.


It wont make the damaged hair better, but it will make it look better

I've also found out for dry skin, mix two tablespoons of sugar into a cup of olive oil, work it over the dry skin for a few minutes and wash off. Leaves you really soft.

Oh and for feet, hands and anywhere on the body actually i mix a cup of cream (the kind that can be whipped) with a few mashed up strawberries and a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of natural yogourt. Plus, it's edible and tastes oh so yummy.
