Everything You Need
by J&H Mech
Hi Pioneers!
I know how hard it is to keep yourself looking and feeling great. There are so many emotional and physical stresses and strains right now. So I’ve got some awesome tips on how to stay healthy and happy.
For soft/smooth skin: Rub honey mixed with sugar all over body, let sit for 15 minutes, rinse.
Another great tip for soft, luscious skin: Mix together 4 cups powdered milk and 4 cups cornstarch into a large jar. Pour 1/3 cup into warm running water or more as needed. (Also pour in 2 cups milk) Put favorite scent into the powder mixture.
After every bath/shower: Rub vitamin E oil all over body (if too sticky cover with baby powder). Also use favorite lotion. Rubbing half a lemon into knees, elbows, heels, and hands will smooth and cleanse.
For oily faces: Mix together 1 egg white and 1/2 a lemon’s juice. It’s messy but spread it onto face for 15 minutes and it helps rid of pimples and oil. Also makes pores very tiny.
Oily face toners: Swipe cotton ball over face first with lemon juice (cleanses), then with witch hazel, then with Isopropyl Alcohol.
Always drink 12 glasses of water each day, have lots of towels, bowls, and spoons at beauty time; don’t let dishes/laundry/other household chores pile up, give yourself at least 2 beauty days a week, don’t spend what you don’t have, trust in Jesus Christ, get a good job, think, and enjoy your life, exercise, and laugh.
Shaving Tips
by Eldritch
Before shaving underarms and or bikini area soak in warm water. Always shave in the direction the hair is growing. For bikini area get bar soap work up good lather; apply soap and hair conditioner. After shower take your deodorant and rub on area shaved; this will minimize the red bumps. I also use hair conditioner on legs and underarms it leaves you silky smooth.
Natural Remedies For Beautiful Skin

Hi, I have a few natural remedies for beautiful skin. Mashed tomatoes and egg whites is great when it’s put on oily skin, whereas mashed bananas and egg yolk are a great moisturizer for dry skin. Also, paint lemon juice onto skin to disinfect acne prone skin.
Get Rid of Under Eye Puffiness
by T.Terry
This may sound strange but to get rid of puffy eyes lightly dab a tiny amount of hemorrhoid cream under your eyes. It will smooth and tighten up this area. Also works if your eyes are baggy.

A great way to make the perfect tinted moisturizer for you is to mix your favorite face powder with your favorite moisturizer. It’ll give you perfect color for your face and if you want an SPF mix the powder with sunscreen!

Re Making lavender oil by Victoria M. The instructions given will NOT produce essential oil. Lavender essential oil is produced by steam distillation and just picked plants. The instructions will make a nice lavender scented body/hair oil and will have therapeutic values of lavender.
Thank you for clarifying this! You are absolutely right, the process described by Victoria M. may not result in true lavender essential oil but will result in a lavender scented oil.
