TIPS FOR A HAPPY FACE

TIPS FOR A HAPPY FACE

1. Skin care: Every night, scrape your hair back and keep it in position with a hair band. Apply a little oil (olive, almond or coconut) with your fingertips, all over your face and neck in a firm, rotating motion. Wipe the extra oil off with cotton wool.
Follow this up with some chilled milk, applying it all over the face and neck. Leave on for half-an-hour, while you carry on with your regular chores. Then lather your face and neck generously with a very gentle soap and wash off. A baby-soap is best.
2. Invest in a soft baby’s hairbrush: Web and rotate it briskly all over the face and neck for 10 minutes. Wash-off with plenty of water. This increases blood-circulation to the face and neck, and gently dislodges dirt, stale make-up, white heads and black heads.
Pat face dry. Apply a light hand and body lotion over face, neck, hand and feet. Do not slather it on — use sparingly.
Get rid of those bags under the eyes: Keep some time aside for this daily ritual. Dip 2 wads of cotton wool, either in chilled cucumber juice, with hazel (available at the chemists)
Or rose water. Keep aside. Wash and dry a small to medium-sized potato and grape. Apply the wool on eyelids. Lie down and relax for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently wash-off the grated potato with tap water. Pat dry and apply a little baby oil.
3. To acquire seductive eyelashes:
Every night, carefully apply a thin coat of pure castor oil. It is full of Vitamin-A, which strengthens lashes and cools your eyes.
4. For soft lips: Use the good old Vaseline or petroleum jelly religiously every night and see the difference!
