Fun Treats For Your Skin

YOUR SKIN

. Mix natural yogurt with lemon juice and spread it on your skin. This one is good for all skin, not just your face. Lie back and relax for a while.

. Soak a washcloth or a small towel in hot water, wring it out, and place it over your face.

. Repeat this until your skin begins to glow.

YOUR HANDS

1 - Remove old nail polish with cotton balls dipped in nail polish remover.
2 - File your nails with an emery board
3 - Dip your hands into warm soapy water letting your nails soak for a few minutes
4 - Massage your hands with a moisturizing lotion

If you are going to use nail polish...

1 - Once your hands are clean put on a layer of base coat using three strokes to cover your whole nail (Base coat before the nail polish is important to prevent your nails from getting yellow)
2 - Put on two layers of nail polish allowing it to dry in between coats
3 - Add one layer of a sealer.
4 - Remember: It takes several hours for your nails to dry completely.

YOUR HAIR

1 - Wash your hair whenever is starts to feel oily. Some girls need to wash it daily, others weekly.
2 - Make sure you use the right kind of shampoo. It should be PH-balanced and for your type of hair (normal, dry, oily, fine)
3 - A serving about the size of a quarter is a good guideline.
4 - Once you spread the shampoo evenly over the wet hair massage it with your fingertips. Don't scratch your scalp.
5 - Use conditioner if your hair is dry, gets tangled,or has been damaged by hair dryers or curling irons. Just use enough to put on the ends of your hair.
6 - Have your hair trimmed every four to six weeks to get rid of split ends.
