• Coconut water can help your skin get back that healthy glow.

Beautiful lashes

Beautiful lashes

• Apply some toothpaste on your acne before you go to bed. It should help to reduce swelling and dry out the pimple.

• To help with puffy eyes, peel a raw potato and cut it in half. Place the halves over your eyes for 10 minutes. The potato will cool your eyes and any swelling will decrease.

• For a natural look, try using plain Vaseline on your lashes instead of mascara. It darkens the lashes, won’t dry up to make lashes break off and it won’t cake up.

• To remove stains from your nails after wearing a dark polish, scrub nails with whitening toothpaste and a nail brush.

• If you don’t have nail polish remover, apply clear nail polish and then wipe it off while it’s still wet. This will remove the old polish.

Nail filing

• Filing your nails in one direction instead of back and forth, will prevent shredding.

• Make your nail polish last longer by keeping it in the fridge.

• A sugar and coffee mud scrub is good for cellulite, varicose veins and acne scars.

• Oily skin holds perfume scents longer than dry skin. So before applying perfume, rub a very thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly onto your skin and you will smell great for hours.

• Never rub your wrists together after you’ve applied a fragrance. This can “bruise” the oils contained in the blend,  chemically altering the scent.

• A great shaving cream or gel alternative is actually hair conditioner. It will leave your skin much softer and will result in  less cuts from the razor blade.

• Milk helps reduce garlic breath, so just sip a glass of full-fat milk after eating garlic.
