Tip: There are a few things to remember when you have a facial.  First, never get a facial the day before a special event. All that massaging and deep cleansing stirs up the impurities in your skin’s deep layers, and you might have a breakout or two. It’s also important not to overindulge. Don’t have more than one facial a month or every six weeks; your skin needs time to regenerate.

Wake Up Your Feet
Hard day on your feet? Wake up your tired dogs with mint as the British beauties do. The refreshing oils in mint stimulate the circulation and get your toes a-tinglin’. Soak your feet in warm water, then smooth on peppermint oil. Prop up your tootsies on a few pillows, and feel your hard day ebb away. Or mix peppermint oil into unscented body lotion, and give your entire body a minty, refreshing treat!

Peppermint Cooling Leg Spray

• Mix 10 drops of peppermint oil with a few ounces of isopropyl alcohol.
• Pour into a pump bottle.
• Spray on tired legs for a quick pick-me-up.

Get Deeper Color
Brunette beauties in Romania often maintain their naturally deep, luscious hair color by rinsing with an infusion of walnut tree leaves. The concoction is made by steeping the leaves in hot water and then straining them out, and it helps to bring out the hair’s dark reflexes. Their blond counterparts choose a rinse of chamomile tea for golden hair shine.
