Good Brows Go A Long Way

"Have perfectly groomed brows," says Carmindy. Defined arches frame your face, pulling your features into focus. "If you've over plucked then use Revitabrow to help grow in the sparse areas."

Scrub With Sugar

"Keep skin smooth by exfoliating regularly with a cleanser mixed with a pinch of plain granular white sugar. Lightly massage it on in the shower -- it's the best exfoliant around for eliminating dead skin," says Carmindy.

Put Mascara On Hold

"To make your lashes look longer, fuller and darker without mascara, comb through a glossy coat of Vaseline," says Carmindy. "Or give a lash-enhancer like Latisse a try!"

White Ideas

"A whiter smile helps your face look young and luminous so keep teeth bright with strips or a professional treatment at the dentist," recommends Carmindy.
