Have you noticed our Beauty of the Day widget? It’s located near the bottom of the page in the left sidebar. It’s got some great tips.
One of my favorite tips from the widget is to use Vaseline to care for your cuticles. Just massage a dab onto each cuticle before bed every night to keep them from getting dry. Use a q-tip for less mess.
Another beauty tip that I picked up a few years ago is adding baking soda to your cleanser to turn it into a mild exfoliant. Who would have thought?! It actually works quite well and it’s gentle enough for daily use and super cheap to boot!

Well, I'm a guy, so I don't have many beauty tips. I'd say mine would have to be using a body wash or face wash with exfoliating beads to scrub away dead skin.

My beauty tip for tired eyes is to use a bit of white sparkle eyeshadow below your eyebrows and in the inside corner of each eye to instantly brighten your tired eyes.
I use alchohol on my face then moisterise.
Agree with the drinking water tip. Keeps everything lubricated

I recently discovered the Dr. Scholl's For Her Smooth My Sole micro file and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is easy to use and never hurts and is really helping my heels to heal. I will say though that it does not catch all that you file off like it says it does.

Guys need lotion just as much as gals. Our skin gets dry and flaky too. So my tip would be for guys to get over thinking that lotion is for gals. Its not…its for humans!

Use a bodywash with scrubbing/ exfoliating crystals on your legs after you shave. It removes all the dead skin cells exposed by shaving and makes your legs even silkier.
My beauty tip is to take lots of water and get plenty of sleep. These two things will make you look years younger.
before going to bed, moisturize your lips with lip balm.

Slough your lips lightly with a toothbrush. Apply Vaseline Petroleum and let sit over night. When you wake up, your lips are like brand new.
to make your hair shiny, put some brewed coffee on it, leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse it out
My tip is to use 2 in 1 products to save time!
make sure you exfoliate your body once a week so that lotions and creams can sink in better.

once a week or so, I add a little baking soda to my shampoo. It works just like a clarifying shampoo for pennies!
While you're still a bit damp from the shower, smooth on some body lotion ~ this is a great way to keep moisturized during the dry winter months.
Wear Vaseline and cotton socks on your feet to bed and you won't have those ugly winter cracked feet.
I like to shave with hair conditioner. It leaves my legs much more silky than tradtional shaving creams and is much cheaper too!
Drink lots of water and don't smoke.
Try conditioning eyelashes with Vaseline
It's simple but it does wonders, better than any lotion/cream I've used: get plenty of sleep & drink lots of water.
