Show and Tell
I've personally discovered that one of the BEST anti-acne, neutral, safe soaps for sensitive skin is... sandlewood soap. This cheap soap has made a critical difference in my skin care. It is one of the most effective cleansers I've found in years, never dries out my sensitive/combination skin, and NEVER causes breakouts. Since I've started using it, my skin has improved dramatically. I model and don't have time to play around with mystery creams, scrubs, etc. I love my $0.50 soap, and it clearly loves me back. My photos are proof!Have any innovative beauty or skincare tips? Email me at Margina. If we choose to run your tip, you will receive a mystery gift!

Visine™ isn't just for taking the red out of eyes...did you know you can use it to take the red out of blemishes? Dip a small brush into the visine and apply to the break-out. It take the red away and reduces the inflammation.
And speaking of break-outs, did you know that plain toothpaste makes a great blemish healer? Apply a bit of plain toothpaste (not gel) at night and in the morning, the pimple may well be dried up and greatly dimished in size.

Did you know that pure aloe vera makes a great lightweight moisturizer and makeup primer? Aloe hydrates skin and stabilizes the pH balance, helping makeup last.
Forget your lipcolor? No problem! Simply swipe powder blush over lips, top with balm, gloss, or Vaseline and voila! - You've got luscious lips (and no one's the wiser).
