RosieCotton Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 For those of you that are way ahead of your holiday schedules, and have tons a free time to just be for yourself, sitting back with a cup of cocoa and looking at your clean homes and everything all ready to go. . . . . . I really don't like you. For those that have puffy faces, are tired, or your household is fighting influenza A or B, or M or Q lol, and need to be refreshed and want to look better for the holidays because their guest rooms aren't ready yet, and there is more baking and wrapping to be done and only 2 days left to do it . . . ------here are a few natural face lift options that can really tighten your skin up in 24 hours. :hurray: http://natural-face-lift.blogspot.com/2014/01/natural-face-lift-masks-tighten-loose.html Seems all you need are egg whites, avocado, honey and a few other things like oatmeal and banana. I realize that I'll be up late the next 2 nights getting everything just right, and THIS YEAR, I'm going to do one of these, the avocado one the night before Christmas. Just for me. Maybe while I'm wrapping final gifts. I've also had an LA friend tell me some models use Prep-H on their skin at night to fight puffiness, reduce bags, and give it tons of moisture. As it reduces inflammation it's great for that, but I'm not sure the long term effects of mineral oil. Anyone? Better recipes? Please share them!

Mostly, I hear that they use photoshop :lol: If I have a minute to whip up a facial..... naw.... I'll just try a nap. BUT I might try one after Christmas. Thanks for sharing!

hornblower Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Glass of water + 10 min meditation + 20 minute nap is my best facial recipe :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieCotton Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 My friend in LA is a makeup artist, works with models before they walk the strip, and she swears on the Pre-H thing. Some of them have cases of it under their beds. . . It really makes me laugh out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflections Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I knew a contestant in either Miss America or Ms USA .. I can't remember which she was. Anyway, in that contest they had very specific rules about that there couldn't have been any plastic surgery. She told me once, she could tape anyone a NEW body. And between that, vaseline and prep h she could make anyone a beauty queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm gonna use make-up. You know, to hold the beauty IN so that my guests aren't so dazzled by my natural attractiveness. It's my gift to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Made a note of the prep h trick. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 hehe. I'm 34 weeks pregnant so I don't even think prep h will help me with all my puffiness! Not that I care too much. I've learned that its more about how you act then how you look. No facial in the world will help me not look as tired as I am but coffee and the excitement of Christmas will do that for me! I'll be running on Christmas excitement fumes until the 26th. Then I'll sleep for a day while the kids make a mess of the house playing with all their new toys!

Seasider Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 But have y'all ever smelled prep h? I don't want to smell like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I read somewhere that, if lifting creams worked, when would they stop lifting?? For me, if there is a magic lifting/firming cream, it isn't going on my face, kwim??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I've heard of Prep-H over the years, but have never even considered using it. By the way, I love these types of threads. Beauty and skin care is such fun :D. To reduce puffiness - some of these are not easy to do during this time of year, but sharing here anyway: * Avoid late-night eating as much as possible. * Drink enough water. * Morning exercise helps reduce puffiness. * Facial Massage - I try to massage my face every few days. I was an esthetetician in my former life. You Tube has videos. I can share some if anyone's interested. The most important thing is to be very, very gentle with your skin. The French treat their skin like silk. Use your ring finger (3rd finger) around the eye area. Never rub, pat gently instead. * Once a week, I use a mask. At the same time, I have conditioner in my hair wrapped up in a plastic bag and towel. Shampoo, condition hair, mask - all in that order. Sometimes the masks are homemade, and other times I use Paula's Choice or whatever. * Regular exfoliatin is key to keeping your skin looking fresh and glowing - AHAs, BHAs, Clarisonic, whatever you choose. The older we get, the more regularly we need to exfoliate. I'm not always so disciplined, but I realize that it's important to take care of my skin as I get older. Thank you for starting this thread.
