BEAUTY TIPS - Part 3.
2. Don't be flaky. Dandruff? Crush up an aspirin and mix it with your regular shampoo. Properties in the painkiller will calm the dry scalp and save you splashing out on special brands.
3. Hair teaser. Instead of back-combing your hair, use a firm bristled toothbrush, digging it into the roots and lightly teasing. Softer baby toothbrushes are also a secret weapon on shoots as stylists use hairspray on them and smooth wispiness around the hairline.
4. Beat puffiness. Splashing your face with iced water in the morning will reduce puffiness. But did you know that if you hold an ice cube against the roof of your mouth with your tongue, the chill will help reduce facial puffiness from the inside out?
5. Smooth hands. Don't throw out used ground coffee -- it makes a great hand exfoliator. After it has cooled, place in a plastic bag in the fridge. Twice a week, scoop out a teaspoon and rub on your hands before rinsing and applying your usual cream.
6. Nail it. In a dire nail emergency, the rough ignition part of a box of matches will serve as a nail file for troublesome snags when you can't find an emery board .
7. Two-minute face-lift. An egg white and lemon juice mask has an instant tightening effect on skin, so it's ideal to do an hour before you go out to a party.
8. Add volume. If limp hair needs an injection of oomph after work, wet fingertips and massage the roots. Using a blow dryer, flip your head over, then blow your hair forward, getting heat on the scalp. Allow hair to cool before flipping back. If you've no access to a dryer, pin your hair up on top of your head, mist hairspray on the roots, wait to dry, and then brush hair upside-down.
9. Natural glow. To fake the natural look, dab some cream blush on the apples of your cheeks, then apply light foundation or tinted moisturizer over the top to the flushed-from-within look.
