You don’t have to be rich to be beautiful or handsome so guys lets share some of the tips about beauty without breaking a bank.
Remember Grand moms use the broken pots, put it in the fire and straight their hair, or to use paw-paw leaves to soften their hands, so come on ladeis.
No1:
I will start with lemon: this fruit has so many use, for those who want to loose weight: you cut it in half squeeze it in a glass of warm water drink it first thing in the morning, ahhhhhhhhh don’t throw that skin away yet, sqeeze that juice in your hands rub them for lets say 3mins , gather your fingers and rub that lemon skin all over your nails, last but not least rub that skin on your elbows then on your knees wait for 5mins and go wash it off.No2:
You can squeeze some lemon juice in a small jar of pure Vaseline, its better to keep this baseline in the fridge, and please mark it, you don’t want any body use it as mayonnaise. As for pimples dilute that lemon juice, use a cotton ball and clean your face leave it in for 3mins, then rinse.Warning:
You must consult your physician before you try this or any beauty tip on this board, good luck and lets hear from you.July 31, 2008 at 12:30 am #19203WRINKLES
To smoothen wrinkles and moisturize the skin the natural way, peel an apple, mash it and blend with one teaspoon of honey. Apply the mixture on the face and neck slowly in an upward direction. Wash off with warm water after 15 minutes to see a marked improvement. Try this thrice a week for three weeks and then only once a week to find a distinct lack of wrinkles and moisturized skin.
PIMPLES
juice into a full glass of boiled milk. Apply as a face wash regularly. Pimples will go within five days. You can also take ripe tomato pulp and apply it on the pimples. Leave it for one hour and wash off with water.
July 31, 2008 at 12:34 am #19204HAND TREATMENT
THEY are the most traumatized, yet they receive the least attention. They touch and clean every part of us, every corner of the house and every utensil. They endure the harshest detergent you would not want any other part of your body to come into contact with. But how many times do you give your hands a treat?
A friend once joked: “Show me your hands and I will tell you what you are.” Indeed, we forget that after the face, the hands are the next part of our body that will give us away without the slightest warning. They are the most visible parts of you. You use them in everyday activity. It, therefore, follows that you must give them the same attention you give your face. Though the market is flooded with cleansers, toners, moisturizers, make-up removers, creams that claim to prevent or reduce wrinkles, etc, for the face, there is little else you can apply to your hands other than the standard hand and body moisturizing lotion. And if you are really lucky, you might chance upon a hand cream. Do not despair though, as hands do not ask for much. All they really need is moisturizing — lots of it — and exercise too.
Go forth, give them a treat keep a piece of lemon next to your hand-washing soap. Rub it over your hands at least once a day, before washing. This will help delay the onset of age-spots.
-Get into the habit of wearing rubber gloves when doing your housework like dusting and cleaning.-If you are the type who crack your knuckles, stop now unless you think wobbly fingers are a turn-on.
-Long nails can look elegant, but only if they are kept in shape. File them regularly with an emery board – avoid a steel file as it can tear the nails and do more harm than good. Always file in one direction. The nails weaken and break easily if you file in a back and forth motion.
Remember, nothing looks as unattractive on hands as dirt under the nails. If you cannot keep your nails clean, keep them short and simple.
-Soften your hands even when you do the dishes. Add a little sweet almond oil (about a teaspoon) to the water. Almond oil can be bought from beauty shops and supermarkets in town. The water will soften the rough skin while the oil seals the moisture.
-Slough off dead skin cells with a solution made of sea salt lemon (it is available in beauty shops and supermarkets in town). Brush it into the hands with an old toothbrush. Do this twice a week to soften your hands and remove discoloration.August 1, 2008 at 7:25 am #19217FOR SPARKLING TEETH
For sparkling teeth, try sprinkling a pinch of soda bicarbonate on your tooth brush
Brush your teeth once a day for 10 days. You will be amazed by the difference you can see after just five days.August 1, 2008 at 7:29 am #19218Soft Hands
So your hands don’t feel soft anymore?
Too much water and chemicals
Get into the habit of wearing rubber gloves when you do any cleaning around the house.
The reason? Cleaning agents can be extremely harsh on both nails and hands. The nails when exposed to water, swell and then shrink back as they dry. This contributes to brittle nails.
Try some of these simple hand exercises:?
Stretch your fingers wide and clap hard, so that your fingers of both hands are aligned – i.e. thumb to thumb, forefinger to forefinger. Not only is this yogi exercise good for the hands, it aids blood circulation as well. Don’t do this in public though, unless you want to be mistaken for the alternate species of humankind.?
Stretch your hands out in front of you, pull back curling in fingers with as much pressure as possible, as if you are trying hard to pull in something heavy.?
Hold both hands in front of you with palms facing inwards, loosen their wrist grip and flap them backwards and forwards. Feel them tingle as the blood rushes to them.??
Squeeze the tip of each finger as hard as possible for about five seconds. Any longer, and you’ll be getting into acupressure – which is another story entirely.??
Close your fingers and circle your wrists ten times in each direction.??
Then of course there is always the alternative to visit your neighborhood beauty parlor.
Most parlous provide an intensive manicure which could last from half an hour to an hour, in which you get a full cleansing and moisturizing treatment by the use of hand masks, followed by a hand massage.
No, you say.
You prefer lathering on hand cream every chance you get to sitting in a parlor staring at the roof for an hour while you get waited on hand and foot for one simple reason: You have a life.
(Which means, in sour grape terminology, you have a job, a million other things to do and don’t get the time.)August 1, 2008 at 7:33 am #19219TAKING CARE OF YOUR HANDS
-Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub briskly. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then in a pair of cotton gloves for 15-20 minutes. The heat helps the treatment to penetrate.
-Slightly warm a cup of milk (to temperature comfortable to the touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen the nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that gently ex foliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen fragile nails.
-Coat hands in a layer of sweet almond oil, to nourish and soften, then wrap them in a warm towel and relax for 15 minutes. Unwrap, and gently push back cuticles using a rubber hoof stick (available from beauty shops). Never use cuticle clippers, as they can nick the skin. Rinse hands with warm water and dry thoroughly to remove any oil residue.
-Before you go to bed, lavish on the Vaseline and then pop on a pair of cotton gloves. Your hands will be incredibly soft by morning. Well, if only you knew how appealing a beautiful pair of hands is, you would make sure you take out the time.

STEP 4
Apply one coat of base coat over your entire nail and allow a couple of minutes to dry. This will help strengthen the nail. Some products also level fine ridges and imperfections, leaving a smooth surface to apply polish. There’s a wide range of base coats to choose from.
STEP 5
For a square look, paint a straight line across the tips; for a rounded appearance, follow the curve of the nail; and to get a pointed style, paint in from each side to the center. Some manicure kits include sticky strips to use as a guide. When applying, lay your hand on a flat surface and keep the ball of your painting hand steady by resting it on the same surface. Leave to dry.
STEP 6
Finally, apply a coat of translucent shell-pink nail polish over the entire nail to seal the whitened tip and complete the look. Allow 10 minutes for it to dry. For extra shine and protection, apply a clear, glossy top coat.
French manicure
Hand Massage
To stimulate circulation, rub your palm over the back of the hand and then repeat with the other hand.
This movement is very similar to washing your hands and it does not only stimulate circulation, it also warms the hands.
