    My biggest may sound funny to alot of you. But i have to go with accept myself for who i am, imperfections and all. Nothing is more sexy, beautiful and anti-aging than loving yourself first.

    Everything else comes second. (beauty products, etc. They just help on my journey).

    water and vitamins are the #1 for me

    water and vitamins help me look hidrated and healthy
    lotion with vitamin a b and c and e are also great helpers because they are anti oxidants

    I'm curious, Candigrl. You recommend a good head to toe skincare routine...well, what is yours? I don't have an established one, I don't even have products I'm loyal to right now. Other than your basic shower and shave I don't do much and I know I could be doing much better.

    Plenty of sleep, water and vitamins. Eat well, not junk food or fast food all the time. Cook good stuff at home. Don't drink too much or use drugs. Don't stress over small things. Smile.

    Drinking alot of water removes toxins from the body as well as you can see your face clear up real fast. I also use a purifying facial mask, vitamons, sleep, and little treats for my slef like ben and jerrys ice cream.

    yah those anti-oxidents YES! Especially C. The smoky environment plus if u smoke too- what is it they say it removes 100mg per cig? YIKES! SO I take 1000 mg time release, one at each meal. Collegan needs c to produce (collegan plumps up your skin - u have it naturally go figure)
    So deplete the C and man it shows in your skin, all over, alligator skin after a shave, in your fine lines on your face etc.
    and sleep o hell yah, I get ten minimum, gotta love a job that enables that regimen huh?

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    OH YAH!!!! I go for micro dermabrasion/facials (crystal dermabrasion) they are the BOMB! Once a week when you are just starting and then once every 3 - 4 weeks. The difference in skin tone elasticity and appearance are amazing.
    Costly but worth it (85 session) and I use guinot european face products now to supplemt to the effort - also costly but worth it - seems those european products really are the sh*t. I can see my results and maintain them...(still use the antibacterial liquid soap from Melalueca (can only buy direct from distributor) to remove heavy club make up prior to the guinot regime. Still swear by the Daneillo 30 spf during the day too, and it inhibits the oil too.

    Tons of water.
    Tons of sleep.
    Vitamins.
    Respectable diet.
    Stay active.
    Don't smoke.
    Try to avoid caffeine.
    Take care of yourself medically.
    Take care of your teeth.
    Moisturize.
    Control your stress levels.
    Alcohol only in moderation.

    And, in my case, I dye my hair regularly because I started going white and silver at 21.

    Water and plenty of it
    Don't smoke (why put more s*it in your body?)
    Multi-vitamin tablets - good ones! Everyone needs them as it is fact that the nutritional value of store bought fruit and vegies are lower.
    Less processed foods.. more home cooking!
    Massage once a fortnight
    Less stress
    Exercise or do some activity that will help you to "let off steam"
    Every now and again go over your "I am blessed" list (ie try to remember the good things in your life: tangible and intangible)
    Keep a "youthful" attitude
    Make sure you keep your skin moisturised well if you are a sun-worshipper or soliarum user

    etc etc

    H2O and lots of it!!

    Take time off from work---stimulate other parts of your mind and body.. take a dance class or yoga or painting but do something else.

    Save your $$-- when young girls need money they look desperate-- when old girls need money they look pathetic!
    Sexy, Swarovski Stripper jewelry, OOAK, and DIY clothing

    Figure out which colors suit you best. I can look like $1000000, but then I'll put on something black, and it's out the window.

    Also, I hate it, but tanning (self-tan) makes most white folk look sooooo much better.

    Keep your hair a shade reasonably close to natural. Highlights and a few shades lighter or darker, fine, but you have to be pubescent to pull off the malibu barbie look (white hair, dark roots, dark skin).

    Don't tan. Use self tanner if you want the bronzed look.
    No smoking.
    Drink tons of water.
    Yoga
    Always wash your face before bed. Never fall asleep with your make up on.
    Floss and brush after meals. Drink liquids with a straw so they don't stain your teeth. If you take care of your teeth you don't need to do the whole "whitening thing".
    Get in the habit of moisturizing right out of the shower
    Take a multi vitamin
    Stay away for strict/fad diets. Moderation is key.
    Smile, be polite and charming. Rudeness is not beautiful at all


    Also, self acceptance is key, like Pamela said. It doesn't matter how well groomed or beautiful you are, if you don't believe it yourself, and don't feel good. Beauty starts on the inside.

    Oh, let me leave some beauty tips~

    1. I SWEAR BY Queen Helene's Mint Juleup. If you don't have the best skin, put this on, and sleep in it (no lie) and in the morning half of your blemishes will be gone, and the other half will have shrunk. I put this concoction on my sis once, and it totally helped her!

    2. I also use have milk baths bi-weekly. Milk is an exfoliant so it does wonders for my skin.

    3. I also MUST HAVE my Nivea lotion! It is like no other!!
