  3. I have very dry, unruly hair. So I reccomend brushing your hair before you shower. It helps the products to disperse evenly and keeps unruly more manageable.

  9. My beauty secret is my mantra: less is more. Keep skin clear by drinking as much water as possible and using pH balanced soaps, wash your hair only when it gets greasy or dirty, and style using as little heat as possible. If you want to curl hair, you can just put it up in buns before you shower. The steam will set it!

  10. My best beauty secret is drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 4oz of aloe vera juice daily! I have been drinking these natural products for over a year now and noticed a significant difference in my hair, skin and energy levels! Natural products FTW!

  11. My best beauty secret is lathering up my feet with body butter or vaseline and putting on socks over it. It's not a great secret but it saves my feet!

  12. My best beauty secret is for acne from L.A. derm Ava Shamban: Crush two aspirin tablets (which have acetylsalicylic acid to dry out the pimple and eliminate inflammation), and mix with a drop of water and a drop of honey to create a paste. Apply to the spot, and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

  13. my beauty secret is if you go a bit messy with your nail polish do the washing up and all the polish on your skin will come off and you'll be left with perfect nails :-)

  14. My beauty secret is coconut oil. You can apply it daily to your face and you'll see improvements in your skins clarity. It helped with my acne. Also my Mom eats a spoonful a day and her skin looks great it makes you glow.

  15. My best beauty secret is hydration. Water. Water. Water.

    Drink it.

    Use it to clean your face - ritually.

    Even invigorate with a cold shower - the increased circulation does your body good.

  16. Just before getting out of the shower, give your hair a spritz with cold water - this seals the cuticles and prevents frizz! :)

  17. always after putting heat on your hair, whether its hot water or hairdrying, always finish by cooling it off!
    vaseline on your feet and hands for half an hour make them so soft!
    always carry clear nail varnish when wearing tights, if a ladder appears then you can quickly surround it so it cant spread!

  18. Water, I drink 80 oz a day, it helps with everything beauty related, & laughter, it helps fight stress, which is a beauty buster, & a laughter induced smile is beautiful!!

  19. I hardly ever brush my hair because it gets so frizzy. Instead I comb through it when wet, then use a tiny bit of product and scrunch it up as it dries to keep the shape of my natural curl and waves.

  20. I love to use Murads Skin radiance, it leaves my skin so gradient and glowing.

  23. One of my best beauty secrets is to mix some moisturizer with a liquid foundation or concealer base to keep it from getting too thick and heavy. I use Lancome High Resolution Refill-3X cream paired with CoverGirl TruBlend whipped foundation or CoverGirl Invisible concealer. A nice way to set the look is to use a light powder (like L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Powder) all over, but not so much that it looks caked on.

  24. I mix up chopped up parsley leaves (fresh, of course) with plain Greek yogurt and put it on my face for 20 minutes to freshen up the complexion and lighten up my sun spots. Works miracles!

  25. My best beauty tip is to always sample new products before buying, especially foundations. It helps to get a supply sufficient for several days so you can tell if your skin will react negatively, if the color looks right in different lights, etc. I didn't do this with the makeup the artist used on my wedding day, and I woke up the next day with an allergic reaction...

    PS- Bring an OTC allergy med with you if you're travelling :P

  26. I always follow my daily routine to T. Cleanse, tone, serum, moisturize, eye cream am and pm and exfoliate twice a week. I think following a routine and sticking with it is important. Then the habit is harder to break.

  30. Hi!

    ----------------- I'm now a GFC Follower under: SAUCY | f. | BABY

    ----------------- I'm also now a FB Fan under: Nicole Ordonez

    ----------------- One of my best kept beauty secrets is applying vaseline onto my face after I've cleansed it. I put it on prior to applying my moisturizer. I have dry skin, so it's important for me to keep my face moisturized. I feel like the vaseline helps my moisturizer sink into my skin more. Also, patting/dabbing your moisturizer on helps your skin absorb it better rather than rubbing it in.

    Thank you so much for the chance! :)
