These tips are very practical and applicable anytime, anywhere..

Use toner, it helps with acne and oil production in hot climates. I read several times that they don't do anything, but I have noticed such a difference since I started using one, I have clearer skin and my makeup lasts longer. I use an astringent from Neutrogena. You should try it too.

If you normally use eyeliner or shadow during the day, try going without it for a week and see how you like it. I used to use a lot of liner out of habit but I decided to try a fresher look and I much prefer it. One thing I can't live without is a ton of mascara...

Drink ginger tea if you get an upset stomach often. I tried it at the recommendation of a friend and I like it because it helps with nausea and also because it’s very spicy and warming.

Stop using moisturizers that come in pots--they accumulate bacteria. How very gross!! Use stuff that comes in tubes and pump dispensers.

Don't forget to put sunscreen on your forearms and your ears. Just make sure your rub it in really well on your ears!

If you are traveling and forgot to bring a scrub, you can exfoliate with Vitamin C powder.

To give your hair lots of body without using heat, make a ponytail on the very top of your head, really get it up high! Twist the ponytail around itself to make a bun and secure it with bobby pins. Wear it like that all day and take it down at night for nice big hair, or you can even wear it to bed and take it out in the morning.

Flick your eyeliner up at a dramatic angle and put your blush very high on your cheekbones, then pull all of your hair back very tightly to give your face a new dimension. Alternatively to soften your features you could tease all of your hair into a soft cloud and pin it abstractly on top of your head, and leave some tendrils hanging down like they did in the seventies. Trying new things is fun.
