Sneaky beauty tricks from Anne

My good friend Anne is always gorgeous and put together, and smart as a whip to boot. She was kind enough to share some sneaky beauty tricks she has come accross. Hooray for Anne!

  • One of my favorites...I got from a men's magazine...flaky skin on your face - if it doesn't go away if you drink tons of water and slather on moisturizer - is probably (ugh) DANDRUFF! You can get it completely gone if you wash your face for a week or so with a good dandruff shampoo.

  • Another...Don't buy an expensive eyebrow brush (they're too small and wimpy anyway)...use and old toothbrush instead (washing with soap first might be a good idea). The wide set of bristles really gets your eyebrows in place with just one or two sweeps. Spray a little hairspray on the ends of the bristles and your eyebrows will stay put for sure. Also great for de-clumping mascara.

  • Another...combining two kinds of acne medicines is usually better than just one. I like using 10% benzoyl peroxide wash in the morning and a moisturizer with salicylic acid at night. I really notice the breakouts coming back if I manage to forget one or both of my favorite "Face Condiments" when I travel.
