Hmmm...Just what exactly is Tonalin....I see topics all the time here regarding the stuff. A wonder drug perhaps.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
Lotion. Lotion, lotion... it dosen't matter what kind or what you like or what works for you. Believe it or not, a woman shows her age in her hands faster than she does her face.
Lotion ladies.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
Do brazilian waxes, they are so beautiful and makes your skin extremely hair less and soft. Also if you shave your bikini, don't use the same blade or razor more than once also, only use one to 2 blade razors because all of that is what creates hair bumps for anyone, but I'm a waxor!! Also, use vaseline under your eyes at night works wonders! And yes lotioning your entire body and using retinol on your hands can keep them looking youngs for years. For your face, make sure you use a good cleanser, toner, moisturizer every day and a mask once a week for great looking skin. Also, use products that made for your skin type. Any questions, I would love to respond. Thanks!8)

i have yet to get a full brazilian... gonna splurge on one soon, so excited! :D
as for my own beauty tip, eat as healthy as you can! by healthy i mean food that has gone through as little processing as possible ie. fruits, veggies, pasta, meat, rice, lentils, fish, yogurt and so forth. stay away from mcdonalds (well, most of the time... having a plate of fries once or twice a month is not that bad)
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
My #1 tip is EXFOLIATION
Your body needs to shed off that dull dead dry skin to uncover the beautfiul healthy layers!
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
1. getting enough sleep/drinking enough water
2. eating lots of lean meats/vegetables/fruits (whole, non processed foods)
3. EXERCISE! it's proven to help with aging, it pumps oxygen to all your tissues
4. multivitamin/high quality fish oils/antioxidants/polyphenols (pill form)/alpha lipoic acid/biotin
5. simple skin care regimen incorporating Retin A and AHA for the face and hands
6. Relieving all stress (reading, prayer, meditation, whatever works for you)

I do that too, but I put vaseline on mine before. I also use this scrub from Sephora that's made for lips and oh my God that stuff feels so good. It makes your lips so soft and moisturized. You guys should buy some, it's a good investment.::)

Any uncoated aspirin- which would be the cheapest ones you can find. I get mine @ Target. Put like 6 in a small bowl, add a drop of water onto each this makes it so there is no effort to crush them. They kind of just melt when u add water. Then I take a medium size strawberry, and either mash it with a fork or put it through the blank screen on a juicer. Put on for 15-20 mins- rinse whenever it is dry. It is AWESOME. ;D

"Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid, is a derivative of salicylic acid" http://inventors.about.com/library/i.../blaspirin.htm
AND salicylic acid is the active ingredient in most acne medications. It heals blemishes, and really clears up the skin. I can't rave enough about aspirin masks (try a Google search to learn more). So, when mixed with strawberries, it fights acne, exfoliates skin, and acts as a mild peel from the fruit acids. Interested if you guys will love it as much as me. :)
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
im def going to try that mask ^ sounds amazing.
my beauty tip or tips, since I dont want to repeat anyone I will skip over whats already been said.
I shave - I dont wax because my skin is sensative. I read this tip on this site back in 2005, anyways, i use some kind of shaving cream when doing that area down south, then I put a liitle bit of baby oil (on the outside only) (my boyfriend loves it too, it makes that area so soft) then I get out of the shower,dry off and put bikini zone gel on my bikini like and the front of my vag (nothing near the inside of it obviously). it keeps me from getting razor bumps and an irritation. - also for the face - i swear by using make up sponges - you can get then at sally beauty supply - they make foundation and coverup go on so much smoother and more even then using a brush or hands. lastly - H.I.P cream eyeshadow - sold at walgreens, walmart, target, ,meijer. I use a cutip - not the brush that comes with it. IT can be used as a eyeshadow to for a darker look. It lasts forever, and although it can be difficult to get on sometimes, its easy to fix and looks amazing.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
oh also the mask i swear by, (because my skin has always been prone to breakouts, especially when that time of themonth comes around, there is a mask , they sell at walgreens, not sure where else because i havent looked, its by Queene Helene called the mint julep face mask. it gets rid of any swelling from zits just popping up, under eye swelling, and helps get any breakout under control, and also evens and smoothes out skin. I usually cake it where my break out is usually my forehead, then do spot treatment if im short on time, sometimes i put it all over my face, then you wait till its dry, when its dry it gets lighter in color, then rinse it off.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
Take care of your teeth. Take care of any existing problems and then get cleanings twice a year, brush, and floss. I know it can be expensive if a lot of dental work is needed but the longer a girl waits, the harder it'll be to take care of, and I swear to god one of the first things a customer is always going to notice about your face is a nice big smile with great teeth. No one likes bad breath either and you can smell it a lot of the times when someone hasn't been to the dentist in a while.
I am totally not being catty when I say this, too, but I work with so many beautiful girls who have fucked up teeth because they don't ever go to the dentist or think that can't afford to get it fixed, and even in club lighting, customers do notice more than these girls realize. Save up and do it, it will be worth it in the long run, not only for making money but for still having your teeth when you're old. And regular cleanings aren't that expensive and will usually take care of stains.
My other most important things are sunscreen all day, every day, rain or shine, no matter what (I live in Florida so this is vital for me) and retin-a (for acne and the wrinkles I started to get before I wore sunscreen all the time). I'd add exfoliation and water and yoga but I think those were adequately covered. :) Also cats. Cats make everything better.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
I have been trying that asprin mask thing for a couple of weeks now...and all I can say is WOW!
This trick works!!!!
Notice a MAJOR diff in how my skin drives..so to say..lol
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
For shaving the girly/cootchie area use some of your conditioner as a shaving cream and DIAL soap for after work. Kills germs.
Re: Your #1 Beauty Tip...
Rosehip oil to help heal scars esp after surgery, works way better than bio oil.
