Do you have any special beauty secret that you use to make you look better?
Maybe something that makes your eyes look larger, or lips? Maybe you have a special thing that you do to make your skin look smother or smooth out those tiny lines? Do you have a special cream etc. that you use to help prevent acne? A certain color that makes you look thinner? A certain style of clothing that makes you look taller or shorter?
Men, please get in on this too. Do you use a certain cream after shaving to make your face smooth? Certain style of clothes you like to wear because it gets you positive attention?
Anything! Please share your beauty secrets so that we can all try them and help us look the best that we can!

Boy Tudors!
That is a really good one and I couldn't agree with you more. I can see it has worked wonders for you after looking at your avatar image, barely a wrinkle in site and you don't look a day over 150!! :D :D I am just kidding you of course!
But I am Not kidding about agreeing with your beauty secret! I think staying optimistic, keeping a young mind and being happy is better than any $100.00 or more cream that you can buy!
Thank you very much for responding and keep it up and you'll be young forever! ;)

I agree, I think that using natural ingredients on the skin not only makes the skin look good, bright, smooth etc. but i think that it is a bit of luxury that we all should afford ourselves and enjoy. A little milk and honey or anything else that is your favorite, (doesn't cost a fortune), tells your skin and yourself you are trying to take good care of yourself and I think it makes you feel pampered also!
Thanks for your response! ;)

Hi Galena!
It is so great to hear that someone tries to stay out of the sun. So many people now days try to go out in the sun all of the time to get that "healthy", tanned look but give them a few years they will be wrinkled or worse get skin cancer.
Those people usually also refuse to wear a sun screen also for fear of interrupting their tan!
Thanks for responding! ;)

I have a fail safe way of enhancing my looks. I shall "Americanize" it for you. Early on in the week when I am still fresh from the weekend I use Wal Mart ensuring that there are air holes; which there are usually. Mid-week it has to be Target and then towards the end of the week when everything is becoming rancid: Piggly Wiggly. For an up market blast I find Brooks Brothers lifts me. Finally at the weekend I try to go as natural as possible and use Sunflower Market which you can only find in five states apparently. Got to say that those supermarket shopping bags sure come in useful for wearing over my head!

I use BioOil on my face! It makes it lovely and smooth, and keeps my complexion looking amazing.
It's for stretch marks really, but I thought I'd give it a go to see what it did for me, and it looks really nice at the moment.
I wouldn't do it if I had oily skin though, as it will only make the problem worse, nor would I use it if I was prone to spot outbreaks, as I imagine it would make those worse also.

Hi GemmaR!
I've heard of more and more people using it now days for many skin problems. I suppose it was originally for stretch marks but people like you have discovered it's many other properties.
Now I hear it is for scars, uneven skin tone, stretch marks of course, an anti-aging cream, dehydrates the skin, burns and just about everything else!
Thanks for responding! ;)

OLIVE OIL is my beauty secret, but its not a secret anymore because i tell it to my friends. Well put it this way, no matter what kind of make up you put on your skin, and yet you dont treat your skin like "Cleopatra" way, you wont get beautiful look. I have a lot things to share about homemade recipes with the main ingredient and that is olive oil. I use it as moisturizer, use it to exfoliant, and i use it for other things just to pamper and make my skin beautiful. If u want a clear, supple, smooth, attractive skin, exfoliate it and let off the dry skin first. Doing that you will need brown sugar and olive oil. :) its good if you try this ladies.
Be beautiful.
Happy mylotting!!!

Hi iamsolucky!
I agree, olive oil is great for the skin and making it look beautiful. I remember years and years ago when regular people, (not dermatologists etc.), were first discovering scrubs, back in those days it was always olive oil and salt...then they found out that salt was a little too abrasive for the face and switched over to sugar.
Thanks for your response! ;)

I occasionally get blue contact lenses to really highlight my eyes. But last time I though they were a bit on the expensive side, so haven't bought any recently.
Top beauty tip would be to moisturize - morning and night. Skin loses so much moisture during the day and unless you are drinking the recommended 8 glasses, chances are your skin will be in need of a lift.

Hi Icequeen!
I also wore color contact lenses in my younger years, green, but I stopped wearing them years ago as I couldn't see much difference in the color as my eyes were already very green.
I agree with you 100% about the moisturizer and it is such an easy thing to do but it is amazing just how many people do not bother. But of course as they get older they will realize what a dumb mistake they have made all of their life by being lazy because once you get older and loose that moisture and elasticity you begin to look like a wrinkled up old prune and then it is just too late to do anything about it. The skin can only heal itself so much and when the elasticity is gone so are your youthful looks. Men as well as women should moisturize, there is nothing feminine about it, if you want to look good as you grow older then it is just something you should do.
Personally I not only do it because it will keep my skin in better condition as I grow older I also do it because I love the way it makes my skin feel. When my skin is dry and I apply moisturizer it feels like my skin is drinking and in just a few minutes it feels alive again!
