[…] 1. Remove any old polish with a non-acetone polish remover and then file your toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Shape them into a gentle arch and file the tops to make them smooth. If your cuticles are dry, soak a cotton ball in oil olive and rub it over your cuticles. Do this before using polish remover. 2. Soak your feet in a relaxing foot bath. Add your choice of foot bath liquids to hot water with a few drops of lemon juice to get your toes extra clean! Let your feet soak for about 10 minutes. 3. Scrub your feet with an exfoliating scrub to remove old skin cells and bring a fresh layer out. Rinse your feet off in your foot bath. 4. Use a pumice stone on your now-dry feet to soften any hard spots of skin on your heels. Don’t be afraid to rub hard until your skin is soft! 5. Apply shea butter or some other moisturizer to your feet. To get added moisture, wrap your feet in dry towels and let them sit for 5 minutes.

Always comb up and out to open up the eyes. 2. The most elegant brow is elongated, simple, and clean. 3. Don’t tweeze above your eyebrows, as it may become fuzzy. If your brows are messy on top, you can see a professional to have it waxed. 4. If you’ve messed up waxing or plucking your eyebrows and need the hair to grow back fast, here are a couple of tricks you can try. Put olive oil on your eyebrows at night (lot of olive oil) and don’t wash it off. You can also use vitamin E tablets to help the hair grow faster. Just split the capsule open and spread the gooey insides on your eyebrows. You can also stimulate growth by massaging your brow with a toothbrush. 5. If your eyebrows are too dark when compared to your hair (maybe you’ve colored or highlighted your hair), you can get your eyebrows colored too. Eyebrows should normally be one or two shades darker than your hair color. Keep in mind that the FDA warns against lightening your eyebrows, but it is generally safe if you have a professional do the work. 6. Remember as you tweeze that the space between your eyebrows should be about the same length as your eyes. 7. If your brows are sparse or spotty, you can fill them in with a brow powder or eyebrow pencil. Technorati Tags: beauty eyebrows eyes health jennifer aniston […]
