At one time or another we’ve all heard some strange beauty tips that supposedly work miracles and have been in use for generations. Here’s a list of some of the tips to combat anything from calluses to fly-aways:

• Powder the roots—if your hair has a tendency to become oily and you don’t want to end up washing it too often, here’s a quick trick: dip a fluffy brush in powder, remove excess by dabbing on the back of your hand and apply to your roots. The powder removes the oil and blends in the hair so nobody will know the difference.
• Make your hair smell nice—by spraying a small amount of your favorite perfume on the bristles of your brush and brushing your hair from roots to ends. This allows the scent to evenly spread on your tresses making them smell oh-so-nice all day.
• Get rid of calluses with Vaseline—before going to bed, slather petroleum jelly onto your feet and put socks on overnight. It will soften the skin on your feet, making the unsightly calluses disappear.
• Moisturize eyebrows with eye cream—applying any type of rich eye cream to your brows will keep them hydrated and moisturized.
• Enhance lotion with baby oil—for shiny skin without the greasy effect, add a drop of baby oil to your regular lotion. It will give your skin the luster you desire.
• Get rid of zits with toothpaste—applying toothpaste on a zit for about 15 min and rinsing it off will help you battle the unsightly pimples and help get rid of them faster.
• Make your lushes sexy—by combing a tiny amount of Vaseline through the tips of your eye lushes instead of going too heavy with mascara.
• Improve your skin with green tea—if you have some kind of irritation or blotches on your face, steep some green tea and let it cool. The soak a cotton pad in it and dab on your face. The antioxidants in the tea will help with the inflammation.
• Exfoliate underarms—to prevent your armpits from looking dull and dry use a gentle facial scrub.
• Use conditioner for shaving—if you ran out of shaving creams or mousses, use your hair conditioner. Not only does it soften the hair and thus makes it easier to remove, it also leaves your skin smooth and silky.
• Use egg whites for a mask—to revive a tired, stressed and dull skin use egg whites for a facial mask (leave on for about 15-20 minutes and rinse off with warm water). The protein in the whites helps restore the moisture and heal any inflammation.
• Brush on hair spray—to avoid stiff and plastered hair-do, spray your brush with the hair spray and brush it on your hair from roots to ends. It will keep the volume and your do without the sticky effect.
