Do you beautiful people have any little tips to make us all beautiful?

Raine · 07-10-2006, 08:19 PM

wtf?
Are you looking for fashion advice or something?
Or make up tips then . .

This is a rather broad subject

Stay away from excess makeup

A little is okay at first but if you depend on it you gradually look worse and worse when your not wearing it.

Moisturiser is a good example. It temporarily brings moisture to the skin, when it's all used, your skin dries out worse then before.

Stay natural to stay beautiful. All yer vitamins and daily intakes of everything that needs to be taken in will do the trick.

Oh I am so writing a book haha.

ER, just to clarify, I am not a female. I do not wear make up. I just happen to know these things

*realises how deep this hole is*

I just thought we could all help each other be beautiful and swap tips on how to be fabulous

I like your advice Merkaba. And you are so right, I stopped using face cream and now my skin is so dry!

When it comes to facial creams, try to use water based ones instead of alcohol or ol based ones. They leave your skin feeling the driest and most irritated.
I recommend Neutrogena. It works best if you use it once or twice a day. Once when you wake up and then again before bed.
If you should happen to get a bad case of acne, use toothpaste.

As for make up. . . it depends on the occasion. Although the natural look is always optional

As for hair and shampoo. . . I am of no use I don't think. . . so I'll have to touch on that later.

That's about all the advice I'm good for.

I use Biotherm face cream, it's awesome. A bit expensive though.

Well, I am not beautiful, not by a long stretch. But, I know this: Use natural soap.

All those moisturizing soaps and whatnot? They are just as bad as the moisturizer referred to earlier.

Now, I am not one to 'work' on myself, for sure. I was in a little shop that specializes in spiritual things, i.e., incense, crystals, smudging herbs, etc, and over in the corner, there was a shelf with all natural, vegetable based soaps. I picked up a few bars, and I swear, after I got out of the shower, I felt so relaxed. I never realized how my skin tightened up with those other soaps, until I used these soaps.

I know it's weird, a 42 year old man talking about something like this, but I am serious when I say you should at least get a bar and try it. If you don't like it, then oh well, right?

But for someone like me to even notice a difference, has got to be proof enough to at least give it a shot.

Raine · 07-11-2006, 01:04 AM
