Back to Basics

After introducing, reviewing so many new and modern cosmetics, we shouldn't forget there are some basic timeless products that exist since our grandnie time with amazing effect.

#1. Baby Oil

Natrual, good for sensitive skin, and the best oil base moisturizer...

Other than the obvious of using it as body oil for dry skin, what else is this classic product good for?

1. After using body scrubs, baby oil is a great product as the first thing you put on the newly exploited skin

2. For extremely dry and heel damaged skin, you can use baby oil as a healing product. Put it on before you go to bed and put a pair of socks on if you like. The next morning when you shower, you will notice your feet are much softer.

3. In case you run out of make-up remover or on the trip and don't have make-up remover handy, you can use baby oil to remove make-up... I know I know.... typically, we don't like oil base make-up remover, but it is really good on taking off any make-up you have on, even the toughest thing like glitter. Make sure you use soap base facial wash to wash your face afterwards to get rid of the oiliness.
























#2. Vaseline

Ahhh ..... the good old vaseline!! Is it a medical product or skin care product? It's hard to say I think. But, this magical cream is such good healing agent many doctors recommend it for even medical uses.

1. Heal wounds, reduce scars and erase the sign of skin damage.

2. Heal extremely dry skin such as around elbows, knees and feet.

3. Some of you may have very dry lips like mine. I found a trick to help the dry lips look juicy in the winter too. Put a little toner on your lips then put vaseline all over it avoid inner lips, just outer lips. Basically where you usually put lip gloss on... It heals dry lips like no others!!
