Dark circles under eyes
Grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a human skin lightener.
Run one spud through your food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheesecloth.
Apply to the area directly beneath your eye � don’t let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself � and leave for 15 to 20 minutes.
Wipe away the starchy residue

Chapped lips
If you have chapped lips then use petroleum jelly on your lips just before you sleep. I actually carry a small vaseline tube in my bag and use it as often as I would use ‘lip-ice’…. It’s the only thing that really works for my chapped lips.
Skincare tip
In order to make your skin firmer, rub beaten egg white over your face. Wait until it dries. Then rinse with lukewarm water. This makes the skin firmer.
Tips
After washing your face with soap, take a few drops of vinegar and mix it in water. Now wipe you face with it using a cotton wool. This will help in getting rid of the soap alkali build up on your skin.
Exfoliate
1. Cleanse nightly with a cream cleanser to remove makeup
and surface dirt. Use a soft cloth and lots of water.
2. Steam your face by applying a soft cloth, soaked in hot
water and run out slightly. This will help open the pores
and release all in impurities.
3. Exfoliate or follow with a good foaming cleanser for a
deeper clean.
4. Finish with a toner or astringent depending on your skin
type and personal preference. Preferably a nonalcoholic
toner especially for dry skin types.
5. Moisturize, complete your nightly regimen by applying
eye cream to the delicate areas around the eyes. Apply
night cream to your face and throat. A moisturizer is
important no matter what your skin type.
