Tip:  If you have large pores and a tendency toward dull skin, a clay mask is your answer.  It purifies your face, ridding it of dull, lifeless-looking flakes.

Lost Baggage? A Good Thing
Cucumbers are great for reducing puffiness around your eyes . . . it’s a trick that’s not so tricky. Just slice a few, and lay them on closed eyelids for a few minutes. One new secret I learned from my friends in Germany was to use chamomile tea bags to get the same effect. Just steep the tea bags in hot water for a few minutes, and let them cool. Place each bag over the eye, and relax for a few minutes. Take them off, and voilà! Your puffiness is gone!

Think Mink for Anti-Aging
And you thought that only the rich and famous wore mink! Wrap your skin in luxury with rejuvenating mink oil. This amazing oil is recommended by many European dermatologists to reduce the look of aging skin. In fact, research by Belgium ’s Health Department has proven that mink oil is the easiest to absorb and the most compatible oil for human skin. It’s perfect for tackling fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, as well as blemishes, stretch marks, scars, and irritated skin. Use it as a face moisturizer and makeup setter (a few drops of the mink oil spread evenly over your wet face or mixed with foundation), a nourishing treatment for thinning hair (a quick massage with a few drops), and a nourishing bath treatment (1 to 2 teaspoons in the tub).
