Want a full-on fab body scrub? We’ve got a sweet one you can whip up at home. It’s gentle on your skin and less dehydrating than a salty variety. Use this all-over body scrub before bathing as an exfoliator before you self use self-tanner. Like a trip to the spa, but wayyy friendlier on your wallet! Ingredients: *1/4 cup granulated sugar *2 tablespoons light oil, such as almond, canola, or sunflower *2 tablespoons milk Directions: Mix together all the ingredients into a smooth cream. To use: Before bathing, gently massage the mixture all over your body to increase circulation and remove dry, flaky skin. Make sure you are standing on a towel or inside the shower. Rinse your skin with warm water and moisturize well. Makes 4 ounces, enough for one treatment!

here are some other good "beauty potion" recipes that you can make at home: oatmeal smoothie face mask: (for combo,oily,normal skin) 3 tablespoons of old-fashioned (not instant) oatmeal, uncooked. 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt mix the oatmeal and yogurt into a paste and pat onto your face. keep on for 15 min. then rinse off with warm water. Papaya mask (for normal to dry skin) 1/2 papaya, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt lightly mask half a papaya in a bowl with the yogurt. rub it on ur face. let the fruit dry about 10 min. rinse with warm water. Banana mash mask (for all skin types) 1 ripe banana, 1 teaspoon honey mash banana with fork in a bowl. dont overmash or it will get runny. mix in the honey. spread mask all over ur face and let sit for 10 min. rinse clean with lukewarm water. avacodo mask (normal to dry skin) 1 plealed avacodo (cut it in half and take the pit out) 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil mash up avacodo and mix in olive oil. apply to face. let sit for 10 min. rinse off with warm water. then wash ur face with facial soap (i prefer aveeno brand) to get the extra olive oil off ur face. let me know if u have any questions about beauty stuff! or anything else. i give good advice in general
by makeup&beautyadvice on 6/30/2009 11:26:06 PM
I just use regular sugar. Every morning i just take a handful of sugar in my hands, put a LITTLE water in it to make it kinda pastey, then i scrub gently all over my face. then i rinse it off and wash my face with aveeno calming face wash. then i put on aveeno calming face lotion. my skin looks all nice and polished. DO NOT USE SALT! it will dry out ur skin and do the opposite of wht ur trying to to with the scrub which is make ur skin look smooth, not dry. and always wash ur face AFTER u use the sugar. otherwise ull have leftover, sticky sugar residu on ur face. comment my profile if you have any questions on beauty stuff!
by makeup&beautyadvice on 6/30/2009 11:07:21 PM
Wow I just might try that after all i have all the ingredents [squeals]

by leigh948 on 6/30/2009 8:53:18 AM
hey thank you so much for the acne advice beautytipper24 o and i do use pro-activ its amazing defiantly worth the money! O and if some of you girls have unexplainable acne if it started at a very young age or if you you know it defiantly is not puberty u may be allergic to chocolate all of those happened to me it started in grade 2 i found i was allergic to chocolate when i was in grade four I'm so satisfied with pro-activ but I'm gonna try some of those other tips from beautytipper24 and for those who didn't read her 3 super long paragraphs GO BACK AND READ THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
by nellyl on 6/30/2009 12:31:58 AM
its great 4 before-shaving exfoliation! yes u can use veggie oil, its the same as canola oil. i usually put a bit more sugar in to make it thicker.
by brooklin175 on 6/28/2009 9:53:26 PM
I TRIED THIS!,,,yeah doesnt work too well. i think if u add more sugr and less oil then its better. honestly,,,,it wasn;t very good.the milk and oil dont mix so yougetone layer of messy oil thenanother of like milk.
by blondenotdumb on 6/27/2009 7:38:09 PM

by stillswimmingstrong on 5/26/2009 9:35:40 PM
To all the people who have asked out there yes you can use veggie oil ot toatally works just as well.
by stillswimmingstrong on 5/26/2009 9:34:47 PM
Ok I use this now like once a month and my skin has improved so much! I now also wash my face evry night to keep it clean thanks to all your tips....Here is one of my own, when you put on lotion always rub up,not down to put it in your pores and prevent wrinkles. Next never rub up when putting in foundation,it cloggs pores. Last is that you should avoid touching your face,because the oil and bacteria can cause zits/pimples..oh! One more thng dont pull on your face it causes early wrinkles!
by stillswimmingstrong on 5/26/2009 9:26:56 PM
omg. i love these things. its ALMOST like a real spa. heres some recipes my FAVE spa uses alot. they really work. don't forget to rinse out your other products before using these awesome home-made ones! 1) Oatmeal Face Mask Ingredients o 1/4 cup cooked oatmeal, cooled o 1 tablespoon plain yogurt o 1 egg white Directions Mix together all ingredients until you have a smooth cream. To use: Spread the mixture evenly onto your face with clean fingertips or a small brush. Leave on for 15 minutes, and then rinse well with warm water. Pat your skin dry. Makes 3 ounces, enough for one facial treatment. 2) "Honey, oh Honey" hair conditioner Ingredients o 1 teaspoon light oil, such as almond, canola or sunflower o 1 egg o 1 tablespoon honey o 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Directions Mix together all the ingredients, and stir thoroughly. To use: Massage the mixture into just-shampooed, damp hair. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap or use a plastic shower cap, and leave the conditioner on your hair for 15 minutes. Shampoo your hair again, and rinse well. Makes 2 ounces, enough for one treatment. these all really work. if you want more, just comment me or find my facebook page Brooke E.

by fashionista8613 on 7/31/2008 10:22:59 PM

MOD! I want to make my hair look wavy but i dont know how to do it. I tried putting my hair in a neat bun when my hair was wet but it didnt come out that good. Whats a good way to make hair look wavy and STAY wavy for the whole day??? <333<333
Hey Girl, try braids instead of a bun and use a styling cream in your hair when it's still wet/damp to help your hair keep the wave when it dries. ~Callie
by smileygirl513 on 7/24/2008 1:43:05 PM
I really liked this at first until I woke up the next day all itchy! I told my mom. She said I had some sort of allergic reaction to this. I used it everywhere except for my back & face, the only places where I wasn't itchy. It was soooo awful! Then again I have sensitive skin.
by shysky7 on 7/23/2008 8:54:44 PM

by mandmgirl95 on 7/22/2008 12:07:49 AM
Guys, After you make this sugar concoction make this one: mix brown sugar (1/4 cup),2 tablespoons oil (I used Olive Oil), 2 tablespoons milk, and any amount of Vanilla Extract (I used Imitation but you can also use Regular), Than apply both! Trust me they both work! I made that up at the top of my head and it worked just as well! I'll add more of my recipes frequently so look for me! ~Kaili~

Hey blondie_cutie_smartie! Check Target for affordable flat irons. I bought a good curling iron from there for $25, so I'm sure the flat irons are pretty good. Look at the Target website for reviews of flat irons to find one that would be the best fit. Good luck! <3, Bunhead

soap can be a little drying but use body wash, shampoo, or conditioner. Laura

by dancingcutie1924 on 7/18/2008 9:43:13 PM
adding milk is a good idea...it'll make ur skin super soft! i usually use a combo of sugar, salt and ground coffee. then i just add a bit of water in so it makes a paste type thing.
by Bridget on 7/18/2008 9:40:40 PM
***********MOD******** is it normal 4 me to not be over my ex even tho we broke up 2 months ago? we dated for 19 months alltogether, and i was in love with him. i just dk what to do i am always really sad. we had our whole summer planned together and it was supposed to be amazing. but then he broke up with me because i wouldnt cancel plans with my cousin to go to my bffs house swimming with him and his bff who is my bffs bf. i kno hes a jerk but i really miss him! ive tried stayin busy and stuff and hangin out w my girl friends and fam but it doesnt work. what should i do? also, how can i keep from crying? i always feel like it but i make myself not. PLEASE HELP!1
yes, it's normal to miss him. Try to start liking and hanging out with other people. I think it's the best way to get over him. Laura

it's called spotting. I think it's pretty unusual unless you are on birth control. Laura

sounds awesome i'll try it sometime!
by <3nicole<3 on 7/18/2008 5:36:51 PM
luv2shop112 -- I'm sorry your friend is planning things without you! It must make you feel hurt when she's talking to you about doing things with Stella and not inviting you along. The best thing to do in this sitch would to invite her and Stella to the movies (or wherever you want to go!) so you all can go. Who knows, maybe she is nervous to ask you? Good luck! xoxo
by ShopperSoccerGurl on 7/18/2008 5:35:27 PM
i_rock_big_socks!!! -- I don't think it would be such a good idea to use the scrub on your face. It might be a bit too irritating, but they have TONS of facial exfoliators out there! One of my favorites is the Clean & Clear Steam Scrub, which you use in the shower twice a week. It makes my skin super soft! xoxo

I know that BeautyTipper24 has been giving a lot of good tips on handling acne, and I have one more! Wash your hands before washing your face. This prevents the spreading of bacteria on your hands from going to your pores, preventing acne. xoxo

FYI,the scrub gets your bathtub dirty.
by dove56 on 7/18/2008 5:27:15 PM
Okay...that's definitely an upsetting situation so I can see why you feel so frustrated...I am SO here for you chica! This is what I would do: I would call up your "bff" and tell her that it hurts your feelings (or that you feel left out) when she and Stella do things together without you. (don't accuse her, cause it will make her mad...just tell her how upset it makes you feel sometimes.) Then, explain to her that you understand that Stella lives closer, making it easier for them to hang out together, but you don't like feeling left out of the group...tell her that you have no problem getting a ride or paying for yourself, so you hope that there isn't another reason as to why you aren't included sometimes. Also tell her that you know friends sometimes like one-on-one time and that she may want to simply spend time with Stella- which you accept and understand so you don't expect to be included in every little thing they do...once she understands where you're coming from, I'm sure she'll understand and say that she didn't even realize that she was leaving you out or that you felt that way. Then, tell her that you can't wait to see that movie and ask if you could tag along so the three of you could spend some time together. Well, I sure hope that helps you sweetie!! You know, sometimes even best friends blank out, and, hey, none of us our perfect, so she may not even realize how left out you're feeling...give her the chance to understand!! Good luck and let me know how it goes right after you get off the phone with her!!! ♥♥♥

MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where do u get cheap cover-up thats the right kind cuz i always get confuzzled and dont no what to buy and then i dont buy anything????
Hey girl! I feel your pain! It can be hard to find the right shade. If you have an ULTA near you, I know they'll let you return stuff after you try it- just save your receipt. They'll do the same at Target. If you don't have either of those, then ask at the drug store before you buy it and make sure you can return it with the reciept! xoxo Samantha

And she also said that, acne is a disease and it is caused by genetics and hormones, it has NOTHING to do with what you eat, and if you don't wash your face, its just a disease.. and i'm unlucky that i got it. but its mainly gone now

Hey Girlies!! Here is a cool new way to start the school year with, new binders! Okay So what you'll need are the cheap plastic binders you can get anywhere! But make sure that you have a plastic pocket thing on the spine of the binder. Next, Get cool magazines ( preferably GL! ) and make cut outs, of each class, like social studies, math, science, English, etc. And spell each of them out on construction paper and slide them into the pocket thing on the spine. You can add pictures that remind you of the subject on the cover on the binder, also on the front of the binder, puffy paint ( get it a a craft store ) looks really cool !! You can add designs, pictures, quotes.. anything!! Hope this helps! More tips coming your way! Just ask away!! ~Schooltipper12466~

i made this when i was younger (maybe 7 or 8 lol) for my feet. it worked very well, making them soft, but it was sticky and messy so you need to make sure you clean it up good.

Dude! There is so much to do! Check our our SUMMER BOREDOM BUSTERS and our DAILY MOTIVATORS. However, here are a few things I like to do when I'm bored (which i wish would happen more often!
*watch old movies *watch tv show marathons on dvd * try cooking something new * take a walk outside * write in your journal * paint your toenails * do some art * clean out your closet * catch up w/old friends on the phone * look for random things on ebay * read GL magazine! * catch up on whats going on in the world *
by chipofftheol'blockhead :] on 7/18/2008 11:42:02 AM
that sounds like a great idea but i have one to! hear it is: Its called Sugar&Spice this is how u make it u need sugar, cinnamon, and milk. u put 2 table spoons of sugar in a bowl, 1 table spoon of cinnamon and 1 and a halfof milk then u mix it up really good. now when u want to use this is what u do: rub it all over your body i(it's kinda like a scrub) once you did that rinse yourself when your done dry yourself with a towel and smell yourself.....dont u smell good like cinnamon?!!!!

CONTINUED FROM LAST POST 13. use shampoo! suave profossionals biobasics for damaged hair is a good example. its cheap and you have alot of it, and at the same time it gets rid of all the oil and grease, helping zits fade. however, many shampoos contain lauryl sulfates which can damage your skin. 14. Change your pillow case every week. You sleep on it! Most of your germs and bacteria are passed onto your pillow case and back onto your skin.... making acne worse. 15. Take Minocycline. Minocycline is an antibiotic which kills bacteria. Apparently the bacteria that has been causing acne. People report great results with this method. however, in some studies minocycline and tetracycline have been shown to have a negative effect on the thyroid gland. 16. These top five nutrients have been shown to have a very positive effect on your skin and in treating acne. These nutrients, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium and chromium, can pack a powerful punch in your acne war. 1.Zinc - Zinc is the Acne stopper. It works in several ways to both treat acne and prevent it. It helps the body regulate certain hormones which prevents acne, but it also helps with wound healing, tissue regeneration and boosting the body's immune system.Most people in the United States actually have a marginal zinc deficiency, but you can get zinc from many of your favorite foods, such as seeds, nuts, legumes and whole grains. 2.Vitamin A - Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that helps you have beautiful, healthy hair and skin. You can find vitamin A from fruits and vegetables. Dark green vegetables and deep yellow vegetables as fruits give you a good dose of vitamin A by providing carotenes. Oatmeal is a good source of vitamin A, as well as cantaloupe, honeydew melon, broccoli, spinach and sweet potato. 3.Vitamin E - Vitamin E helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. This is often prevalent in male acne patients, but vitamin E has proven beneficial to both male and female acne sufferers. Almonds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, spinach, broccoli and mango are all great sources of vitamin E.Even a snack as simple as ¼ to ½ cups of raw nuts and seeds can help your skin become clearer and healthier. 4.Selenium - Selenium works much like vitamin E in that it also helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. Selenium can be found in foods such as vegetables, meats and bread. Some nuts, such as Brazil nuts and walnuts are also rich in selenium.You can also supplement your diet with selenium, taking 100 to 200 micrograms per day. However, 3 ½ ounces of beef has 35 micrograms of selenium and 3 ounces of tuna has 63. Brazil nuts, though, are the winner with 544 micrograms of selenium per ounce. 5.Chromium - Chromium, found in brewer's yeast, has been shown in research studies to heal acne. You can add brewer's yeast to many different foods.Sprinkle a tablespoon over cold cereal or hot oatmeal, mix it into soups and stews or add it into your breakfast smoothie. Be careful, though, if you are not accustomed to brewer's yeast, a large serving of it can cause nausea and diarrhea. Start small, just a teaspoon or tablespoon at a time. This is a great acne buster.

CONTINUED FROM LAST POST # Keep hair off of your face if at all possible. If you want to keep your bangs, then consider taking showers regularly or keeping your forehead clean with oil-dabbing cloths / clean tissues / etc. # Get some good sleep. Stress increases your skin's oiliness, which, combined with sweat and dirt, can clog pores and cause pimples. (Change your pillowcase frequently.) # Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications about one to two weeks and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin. * See a dermatologist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it. * Drink plenty of water. Staying well hydrated can help your condition improve, because the "waste management" control system in your body requires a lot of water to do its job. Without enough water, the body has difficulty removing some waste products efficiently. * Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe. * Try smashing one tablet of aspirin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Aspirin is acetesalicylic acid, chemically related to salicylic acid. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process while reducing redness. * Try putting toothpaste (paste, NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage, and keep it on all night. When you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments and work on healing your burn. * Another way to zap pimples is shaving cream. Apply it to your pimple and it will dry it up. It disappears by morning, but wash your face after waking up. * If nothing is working for you, drink four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water daily. It works very well for some people and is worth a try. Another good solution is aloe Vera gel fresh from the plant, taken orally. * Photo therapy or blue-light therapy is an increasingly common form of treating facial or body acne. It uses light that interact with peripheries in skin bacteria to reduce bacteria production and rectify acne. Many dermatologists use this form of treatment in a clinic setting, but it can be costly and time consuming. Health Canada recently approved a new product that has the same therapeutic effect, but it can be administered by the individual. * Get plenty of sleep! They don't call it "beauty-sleep" for nothing! * Treat acne with benzoyl peroxide that are available in your local stores * Disguise a pimple with eye-redness relieve eye drops by applying to a Q-tip and hold on pimple for about 10-15 seconds. * Mix a packet of fast acting yeast with enough tea tree oil to make a paste. Spread over emerging pimple and cover with bandage & leave on overnight because yeast will cause the pimples to rise out of the skin while the tea tree oil attacks it. * Soak a cotton ball in warm salt water. Press on top of blemish for 3 minutes to dissolve the top. Then, dab a bit of honey on the affected area to deep clean the pore and draw out bacteria. Let it sit for 10 minutes. * One thing you should do is change your pillow case(s) every day. That way you won't get any oil or dirt on your face again. * use "Proactiv" it works very well! * If you ever pop a whitehead and you have "Proactiv", put a dab of Revitalizing Toner on the popped zit. This should help clear it. # Apply some sudocrem to your spots, This helps them. CONTINUED ON NEXT POST

Ok luckycharms I will post some more tips on acne so here is another one! thanks for the suggestion. 1. Stop popping the spots, also known as pimples and zits. This may make the pimple look worse due to inflammation and irritation. Popping a zit can spread infection under the skin and produce even more pimples than before. If you do pop a spot then immediately clean it with soap and water or rubbing alcohol in order to prevent infection. 2. Remove any make-up you have on. Wearing make-up can clog pores, making them dirty and causing pimples. 3. Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin. 4. Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-ex foliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed. 5. Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication. 6. Bacteria in pores is one cause of spots. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide, which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster. 7. Maintain a routine. Most acne treatments take time to work. It usually takes between two and eight weeks before you see any significant improvement, so you are going to have to be patient. Once you've gotten your acne cleared up, it's important to continue with the treatment that's working so it does not return. 8. Understand that if all else fails, contact a doctor. Mild antibiotics that are available only by prescription can help reduce acne. Keep in mind though, that the widespread overuse (taking antibiotics when you really don't need them or for something they don't treat) and misuse (not taking medication for the specified amount of time) of antibiotics has led to the development of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria. That means that the antibiotics won't work for the things they used to (including your acne). CONTINUED ON NEXT POST
