Eat a firefly a day to keep your skin glowing.

For Long Hair Mashallah apply hair fertilizer...urea etc. from your own urine.

And sharpen your claws by rubbing them against the legs of your sofa like the cats do.

Since I am a new mother, I dont get much time for myself but my regular regime is:-

1. Normal herbal facial once in a month from Doha Beauty Salon

2. Full wax once in a month from Vision Beauty Center (as I dont feel tidy if I see any hair on body)

3. Daily bath:-

a. Once in a day in wintear

b. Morning & night in summer

4. I have recently switched my regular supermarket creams to the one with Vitamen E (moisturizer, toner) & cucumber cleanser from The Body Shop. The stuff is expensive over there but within 3 days u can see good results.

5. Manicure + Pedicure for ingrown & dead skin (preferred from Vision beauty center otherwise Sana Lebanese) once in a month, since I do it softly on weekly basis myself at home.

Btw this is a nice thread, where we can ask for certain queries too :)

CONFUSE ............ if you cannot convince!

Sounds crazy but true.. you need to have at least 8 hours of sleep for your skin and body to have a rework of themselves.. clean well, scrub, use a mask once a week and eat lots of fruits!! Most important, de-stress!

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

girls, if you want your skin to glow...mix cucumber juice with some olive oil and massage it on your face and exposed skin...leave it overnight and shower next morning..

this is only for people who have dry skin..

i always exercise,i eat fruits especially apples to give your skin a glowy appearance,i also sleep 7-8 hours,drink 6-8 glasses of water,avoid fatty foods.

for the following:

Face-wash your face with a mild soap or deeply cleansing,use toner then moisturize it.Dont forget to use Sunblock at daytime.

Underarms-i dont shave or pluck my hair as it make your underarms dark.

Dry Lips-i use petroleoum jelly.

Teeth-if u want your teeth to make it white,use baking soda or any toothpaste with flouride.

Eyebag-use Cucumber or lemon.

Too many to mention here,but just try it,see for urself ;P

You can also use eggs as your facial mask to help tighten your pores,use it twice a week..

and another info,when u use shampoo,do not put directly in your hair,just mix it with water as much as possible.

I used to blend organic products for my face...to exfoliate my skin, I mix 1tbsp of honey, 1tbsp olive oil and tsp fine sugar, massage for at least 10mins and do it twice week. As facial mask, I mix 1tbsp each of milk, baking soda, honey, rose water, and a pinch of turmeric powder, leave for 20 mins before rinsing.

I use petroleum jelly as lotion just enough so that it won't be greasy. I do it before going to bed and before taking bath everyday.

For my hair, I am preparing coconut oil as hot oil weekly, a small amount of shampoo and conditioner daily.

Eat healthy, exercise, etc...well there's a lot more!

I will start with the beautiful hair.90% of it is heredity and 10% is what you do with it.But the 10 % can create havoc with your hair.Eat good food. Make sure jealousy and pent up emotions dont stay a little under your hair.I have seen many who lost their hair quality and quantity,due to all the saloon tricks they did.

Maintainence of nails?Easy.Dont do any house work.Eat nutritious food and spend a fortune in those nail saloons.

Maintaining the body shape and skin? Keep away from kitchen, baby care, sleepless nights, grocery shopping,junk food,touching dishwash,etc.

Possible?! Then go for it? All the best....

Aisha, i am not much help in this area. i don't have a clue about beauty products, but one thing that i know for sure is that excercise gives your skin a glow.

i make it a point to wash my face before i go to bed.

i want to drink more water, too, but coke tastes better. lols.

and i was told if you are happy inside, it radiates. that explains why people in love have that special glow. hmmmm.... :)
