area) Rinse off and apply your Moisturizer.

Body Brush - A great way to stimulate the natural oil glands in your body is to dry brush. Use a natural bristle body brush
and start brushing lightly at your feet in circular motions moving up toward the rest of your body. After you have gently
brushed your entire body, take a warm shower and slather your body with your moisturizer

Hands

Before you go to sleep slather your hands with Vaseline and put some moisturizer gloves on, leaving the moisture to sink in
over night. When you wake in the morning you’ll be surprised with the baby softness of your hands During the day be sure to
keep a hand cream on your desk at work or in the car. Apply this cream throughout the day to rejuvenate your cuticles and
keep your skin saturated. Trust me you’ll be happy with the outcome!

a pinch of buttermilk.

Moisturizer - Replace your after shower moisturizer with a mixture of almond oil. Alternative a few drops of either peppermint,
lavender or neroil. Rub this into your skin, spreading it all over your body. It will leave skin feeling smooth and supple.

1. Moisturize your legs before shaving, by doing this you will avoid shave razor burn.

2. Instead of using a shaving cream try smothering some hair conditioner for a few minutes before shaving; by doing this you
will hold moisture on your legs longer and provide a very smooth shave.

Skin softening

• Straight after you hop out of the shower while your body is still wet, smother baby oil all over your entire body and let it soak
in for about 1 min as the warm water will help the oil soak in. After the baby oil is nicely absorbed into your skin wipe it off
along with the water that was left on your body from your shower and apply your favorite moisturizer all over your body. After
2 weeks you will notice your skin is baby soft.

• No matter how tempting it may be, try not to exfoliate more than once every three days. By doing this you will allow new skin
cells to grow back instead of scrubbing it off every time you exfoliate. The new skin cells will allow your skin to look and feel
softer

• Drink as much water as you can. By doing this you will hydrate your skin from the inside.

• Be sure to have a humidifier on during summer. During summer your skin can replenish itself by soaking up the moisture in
the air, so when you put on that thermostat be sure to turn on a humidifier as well.

• Don’t use soap! Soap dries your skin and we all know that dry skin causes wrinkles. So instead of using soap find a body
wash instead, and not just any body wash, find a body wash that has moisturizing on the label and is fragrance free.

• During summer make sure you are wearing: sunscreen (not just your face, but all over your body as well), a wide brimmed
hat, long sleeve blouses and slacks. By wearing all this you will stop the suns powerful rays from drying and wrinkling your
skin.

• Don’t smoke!

• Smile! A smiling, pleasant relaxed expression is good for your face and will help your look younger

• Sleep with a pillow under your lower spine. This will stop you from sleeping on your face and causing wrinkles.

• Moisturize as many times a day as you can

• One of Cleopatra's secrets to beauty, was bathing in milk, so the next time you have a bath, chuck in one cup of powder
milk, it will help soften your skin.

• To avoid hair growing back so fast after shaving, avoid wearing long pants and jeans.
