Beauty Secrets Megapost Please!
I have been a member of this community for years. It is close to my heart. It is where I got advice on how to deal with a terrible X-men reject lookin' dyejob and even my OCD (dermatillomania). I like it because we have woman (and maybe a guy or two? Idk never seen one here, actually. lol) of all different cultures, styles, and concerns making ourselves vulnerable and asking for advice or sharing a project. And this is a great community because for the most part*** people are really respectful and kind and good natured.
****some percentage of the internet will always be D-bags
SOO let's make a big "beauty advice" post! Share your beauty, makeup, wellness, fitness, sex, whatever!! advice and let's all celebrate each other. Because this is an awesome community with awesome people and we should celebrate by sharing our ultimate knowledge so we can all become super Beauty 101 freaks! And I apologize if this was corny.
My advice:
Wear sunscreen every day, and make sure it's legit and not expired. Always remember to wear sun protection on exposed skin, but especially your face, neck, chest, hands, and any other part of you that is regularly exposed to the elements. The FDA is also changing some sunscreen guildlines: http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm258416.htm
Natural remedies are amazing if you're broke! Egg yolk mixed with lemon juice is really a god send for drying up pimples/calming your skin down if it's really "active". Sugar makes an amazing exfoliant for the face, and the lips especially. If you can handle the smell (that goes away when it dries), Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with warm water makes a really great hair rinse that will add shine.
Eyebrows are just as important as everyone says. A good pair of tweezers goes a LONG way. If your eyebrows are light, you can dye them with men's beard dye.
Do what makes you happy (as long as it isn't destructive to yourself). Never forget your "inner child". Unless you're inner child is a little brat and you've outgrown that stage... You glow when you're happy. And happiness is beautiful to see and spread to others.
I'm sleepy but I'll add more tomorrow. :)
