   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Dye lashes rather than use mascara, it's semi-permanent so doesn't smudge, and can be used on bottom lashes too. Use heated eyelash curlers to give a better curl, then put a little oil on them to condition and make them stand out – try sweet almond oil (also great as make up remover), coconut oil (relieves tired eyes) or olive oil (moisturising). Avoid washes or soaps on your face as these strip away skins oils leaving it dehydrated, this makes skin overproduce oil causing greasy skin, clogged pores and spots, instead use Oil Cleansing Method (OCM). OCM keeps skin very healthy, moisturised, glowing and is the best way to prevent oily skin and spots – http://www.theoilcleansingmethod0o0comShampoo strips natural oils from hair so it becomes dry/damaged, it also causes your scalp to overcompensate, producing more oils so hair gets greasy. There's loads of other ways to wash hair, I recommend conditioner-only, use just conditioner as it contains mild surfactants so cleans without stripping your hair of oils, totally amazing results – hair will be healthier, stronger, shiny, easier to manage, grows faster, frizz-free and won't get greasy – http://www.wikihow0o0com/Follow-the-Curly-… Learn to read ingredients on toiletries, this means you can avoid ingredients harmful to your skin and hair, and you can find what products have the highest amont of active ingredient so you get the best product for your money. You can search for ingredients or specific brands on the cosmetics database – http://www.cosmeticsdatabase0o0com Check out sites like Make Your Own Cosmetics http://www.makeyourcosmetics0o0com and Pioneer Thinking http://www.pioneerthinking0o0com full of simple recipes you can make at home and useful information, their face masks are especially handy. Before washing your hair massage your scalp, this stimulates your scalp keeping hair healthy and improves growth, use rosemarry to stimulate growth in olive oil that will condition your hair. Sleep on silk or satin pillows, it improves hairs shine by smoothing hair rather than snagging it as you move in your sleep, it also means fewer pillow lines on your face.For puffy eyes keep two teaspoons in the freezer and pop them onto eyes in the morning, another trick is using witch hazel gel or hemorrhoidoid cream (common model tip) to reduce puffinessess.Always carry lip balm to prevent lips cracking, if you get cracked lips use a little olive oil on them and then rub gentleley with a wet cloth, also use oil overnight as conditioner. Rather than lipstick try using red food colouring as a lip tint for long-lasting colour. Use tinted moisturiser rather than foundation, it's better for your skin and looks natural, then use mineral powder foundation to set which looks natural, is really healthy and gives the best coverage.Use hair conditioner to shave, soap up first then add hair conditioner to the foam, it makes something like shaving foam only gives smoother shave and conditions your skin, so no rash – as long as it's thick just use cheap conditioner.Use Odaban which is antiperspirantant that stops you from sweating wherever it's used, it actually works, so this means no nasty ugly sweat stains or smelling bad. Buy vitamin E capsules, take daily to help improve skin and hair, you don't need those overpriced hair & nail vitamins. You can also add vitamin E to your lotions etc. Don't smoke, it ages you and causes all sorts of other skin problems – if you do smoke the best method to quit is Easyway.Use olive oil as a moisturiser for your body, it's far more effective than body lotion or baby oil, leaves your skin glowing and is known to help prevent ageing, plus add a little scented oil and you'll smell lovely all day. Another oil you can use is Bio oil for face and body, it absorbs into skin and great for keeping skin healthy and healing scars, but it's expensive, cheaper versions like Rescue Oil work just as well and as they're far cheaper you can use it daily. Never use vasaline on your skin or hair – it's a mineral oil, a byproduct of crude oil production, it's basically waste material that they package to sell on. All it does is sit on the surface of your skin, collecting dirt and bacteria, clogging up pores and on hair adding to damage that eventually leads to breakage.
