Timeless Beauty Tips (by Woman's Day) final part

Final part of the 3 separate posts. Already I have friend asking me, since when I post this kind of stuff. It's just me like to share anything which I think is worth sharing for everyone's benefit. This might be the only 3 posts relating to this anyway, unless I found more interesting ones...

Smooth Legs

• Improve circulation in your legs and lower the risk of unsightly veins by elevating your feet when resting.
• Wait until after your shower to shave.The steam softens hairs for smoother results.
• Don't use creams that contain heavy fragrance or alpha hydroxy acid on freshly shaven legs. They'll sting and cause a rash.
• When applying "liquid stockings" (or today's self-tanner), don't forget the back of your knees, which are often missed.
• Waxing your legs? Pull skin taut before applying the wax to make it easier to remove the strip in one clean motion. Remove leftover wax with a cotton ball dipped in baby oil.

Model-Like Hands

• Shape nails with an emery board, filing sides toward center, never straight across and rounding off edges.
• What works for your face works for your hands. Remove age spots with facial brightening cream.
• The fast way to remove nail polish: Hold cotton saturated with polish remover firmly on your nail for a few seconds to let it start working, then wipe nail clean.
• Apply polish starting at the pinky, working toward the thumb to avoid dragging your hand across wet nails.

Happy Feet

• To counteract dryness, massage feet with a lanolin-based lotion, kneading it deeply into your instep, then massage soles, heels, top surface and around nails.
• Before using a pumice stone or foot file to remove a callus, be sure to soak your foot in warm water for at least 5 minutes. Follow with a little foot cream.
• To prevent ingrown nails, trim toenails straight across, not down into corners.
• Relieve swollen feet by soaking them alternately in hot water (for 3 minutes), then cold water (for 1 minute), for a total of 15 minutes.
• Use fresh pineapple or kiwi skins, which contain bromelain (a meat tenderizer), to exfoliate heels. Rub the fleshy part over heels for 5 minutes, then rinse, dry and moisturize.
