Beauty Treatments


IN THE BATHROOM
Clean Toothbrush
After brushing your teeth and rinsing your mouth with a mouthwash, why not wash your toothbrush off with the same stuff so that the bacteria you just brush out of your mouth will not linger on your toothbrush? Now be honest, you didn't know that, did you?


PERSONAL USE
To get rid of a blemish on your face, use a cotton swab to dab some mouthwash on it. It will kill the bacteria and the blemish will disappear.

Scrub my hair everyday with Epsom salt and I drink Epsom salt as well. Scrubbing scalp to rid it of any dry patches that may have occurred due to relaxing my hair over the years. Also, because the skin is porous all the natural emollients from Epsom salt are activated into the skin.

Use Care Free Curl moisturizer for my hair as well. Hair tends to be very dry. Was very fortunate to have started using Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide

in addition to toothpaste in brushing my teeth at a very young age. St. Maggie a dear friend of my mother hhad always used baking soda alone in brushing her teeth since she was a little girl. When St. Maggie died she had all of her teeth in her mouth (no cavities) and she was ninety something years old. Many found this hard to believe because they expected her to have dentures at her ripe age. Find that I get so many compliments on the whiteness of my teeth and I owe it all to St. Maggie.

To aid weight loss, skin brushing should be carried out all over the body on a daily basis, to stimulate lymphatic drainage, and help to break down the stored fatty deposits. Use a natural bristle brush, rather than one that has been manufactured from synthetic fibers, and brush the skin sweeping strokes toward the center of the body.

LASH CARE

Lumigan is the generic version of Latisse...It does work...will post lashes in progress soon...

Purchased Lumigan from http://www.alldaychemist.com/ for $12 for 0.03...this is very cheap in price than Latisse's now $120 a bottle.

http://www.alldaychemist.com/ did not require a mandatory prescription at first for this product, but now they are asking for it...not sure if they went up in price...will try to order it next week...

Right now I am having great success inn just using Virgin Olive Oil on lashes everyday...it works! Use a spoolie wand to apply...

You know if you stop using Latisse your lashes will go back to normal sooner or later...try this

Perfect Eyebrows





Beauty: the power by which a woman
charms a lover and
terrifies a husband.

Dorothy Dandridge, Joan Crawford (early)
and Kim Novak, all have
the best brows. Imitate them!
INSPIRATIONS

Photobucket
This is the look I am going for. Dorothy's eyes are so beautiful...Love her eyebrows and this is the way I want my brows. Unlike some eyebrows today, Dorothy's are well defined, but not too dark. It takes a real artful hand to achieve this affect.

One of the cosmetic lines Dorothy used was Max Factor...

Joan was a natural beauty. The brows on this photo are not dark, but are well defined.



Photobucket
Loved Kim Novak's eyebrows in Vertigo (1958) These are dark and thick...


What I have always used on my brows is Maybelline's Great Lash Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (Walmart, special 2 for $4.50) great price because that is usually around the price for one.Groom my brows with Murray's Pomade


. Wipe it off, then pluck any sparse hairs with flat head tweezers. Then groom with eyebrow brush


Then I would take the mascara wand and lightly stroke over my brows. At the tail of the brow I would use a eyeliner pencil in black. Then after a minute or so I would lightly, lightly brush the brows upwards to give them the same look of COLLAGE-3-1.jpg Carmen Jones picture by karmenmarliseDorothy Dandridges Brows...

Sometimes if the brows are thinned out too much it ages you. Not the case here on Chante Moore.


Jill Scott..love those brows girl :)





Beautiful Angela Bassett, Love her brows on the photos above.

How to Grow Eyebrows Back

You can, however, grow your eyebrows a lot faster through natural and scientific methods. You can start with the following:

iOlive oil. Olive oil is very easy to procure. You just need to buy them from the groceries. Applying it is also very simple. You have to spread a small amount of it from the Q-tip of the hair. Ensure that you only put the oil to the spot where you want your hairs to grow. If you have some eyebrow hairs, you can comb them using a special brush or even a toothbrush. Go for the direction where you want the hair to be. You can do this every night and simply wash the oil off in the morning.
Vaseline. Vaseline is also another favorite product for growing beautiful eyebrows. The procedure is almost the same as olive oil, though you may have to apply this at least twice a day. If the olive oil can speed up the growth of hairs, Vaseline can promote thicker eyebrows, which you need to make them appear bolder. You can also have more control as to how you can thin out your eyebrows later on.
Castor Oil. This combines the essential benefits of the other two. Thus, besides growing your eyebrows very fast, they can also be made thicker.

This is perfect to use after relaxing brows.
