A Carrot a Day Keeps the Acne Away
Hungarian women reach for the carrot to relieve unsightly blemishes and to cleanse oily skin. They dab carrot oil lightly on the offending areas. Women in general have been using carrot oil to treat skin diseases since the sixteenth century. It’s rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, which nourish new cells.
A Good Witch

Tip: Witch hazel also reduces puffy eyes. When I’m working on an actor with puffy eyes, the first thin I do is reach for the witch hazel. We keep a small amount in the refrigerator. Soak two cotton pads in witch hazel, and apply one cotton pad to each closed lid. Let sit for five minutes, and open to less puffy eyes.
European Facial—A True Skin Treat
Nothing says beauty like a facial! Sources tell me that it’s the second most popular spa treatment after massage therapy. After a facial, you leave the spa feeling like you just stepped out of a glamour magazine. A European facial involves a few basic steps: deep cleansing, skin analysis, steam, exfoliation, massage, and extraction of blackheads. This routine is followed by an application of products (either a mask or moisturizer) targeted to your skin type, whether it’s dry, oily, mixed, sensitive, or mature. With all that close attention and special care, your skin will thank you with a healthy glow.
