To help exfoliate your skin, try a soft bristled, battery operated toothbrush to scrub with. Make sure it is soft bristled, so it's not too rough on your skin. You can find these really cheap at the big chains. Just turn it on, apply your regular facial cleanser, and scrub in small gentle circles. No need to apply a lot of pressure.

Here is a tip for those of you who are starting to see effects of aging. Facial exercise is a great way to push back time. Try this one: to tighten and firm your forehead muscles, place your index fingers just above your eyes. Then raise your eyebrows while giving slight resistance with your fingers. repeat 10x.

It is rumored that Cleopatra used to take milk baths, and so should you. Milk in your bathwater will soften and clean your skin for a quick skin perk up. Any amount will help, but the more the better. If you are like us, you want the benefits to keep coming, so buy a package of powdered milk and add 1/2 cup to your bathwater, then you can do this often, even when there's no milk in the fridge. Then, just relax.

For simple, natural skincare: put some rice in a container, add some water. Let it soak for a few minutes, then drain the water in to another container (preferrably a sealable one), the rice water works as an excellent facial toner!

Simple beauty tip #1: Gather together some Epsom salts and a bottle of foaming soap. Put some of the foaming soap in your palm, then sprinkle some of the salt on, and VOILA! you have a home made salt scrub. Soap and salt can both be drying, so try this on heels, elbows or anywhere else you need a little exfoliating, and then take a warm bath, followed by a good lotioning. Try it, enjoy it, and tell us how you feel.
