"I found Dr. Bronner's Soap when I was searching for products to help for those pesky bumps that form on the backs of your arms.I tried this soap and my skin improved in about a week." Vickie"Glycerin is a great skin softener. It is a great moisturizer for your face, or you can mix it with lotion and apply it to your whole body." Rozie
"I discovered Concha Nacar de Perlop Bleaching Cream when I was at the store looking for a cream that would make my teenager post-acne marks fade. After using it for a while, my dark spots and acne-marks faded." Loida

"Pretty Feet and Hands Rough Skin Remover is a lotion that you rub onto you feet, hands, or anywhere you want to slough off dry skin. You rub in the lotion and little balls of sloughed-off skin appear." Sandra"I have long been a fan of Dead Sea minerals and their ability to render one's skin soft and blemish free, and Ahava's mineral salt soap accomplishes both tasks. It should be a permanent fixture in every shower caddy." Pei

I especially love this primer-and-concealer-in-one because it helps to give your eyes a fresh look." Kate

The peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus infusions wake up my hair and scalp every time I use it, plus it's ridiculously cheap."

I discovered a conditioner called "Soft Deep" made by Prima Fila. It made my hair super soft and shiny. I had only seen it in my salon, but I loved it. I wish I could find it again!

Try something called Cure Care available at Sally's Beauty Supply. It's inexpensive and great for your hair. I've been using it for over 30 years. It also cured the dermatitis I had on my hands. A beautician recommended it for my daughter years ago and I noticed my hands were healing when I was using it on her.

Great info, but it would be more helpful if the listing included where the products can be found. There are at least 7 I want to get now.

Oh you SO need to visit The Beauty Brains. Tom's Of Maine is NOT as natural as they proclaim and it does NOT work as well as Colgate and other "unnatural" brands. You're wasting your money. Besides, breath should smell of mint, not mangos! YUCK!

My hair had become quite thin due to drug therapy plus being quite dry in our climate. Fortunately my daughter who has fine hair like I do, suggested Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. It makes my hair look lively and shiny without being greasy and only takes a tiny bit to do the job. I love it!

What works great for hair & alot of people have it in their home already so you don't have to go & blow money on specialty products is mayo. It already has the oils & protein in it that your hair needs to be healthy. I used it several times many Moons ago when I had a bam spiral perm that I was desperately trying to brush out...& anyone who's had a perm or even has naturally curly thick hair knows that the brush is the enemy...& when you pull it thru your hair like there is a contest going on for who can ruin their hair the quickest...U will need damage control afterwards. My hair is past the middle of my back now & gets dried out on occasion...especially in the Fall/Winter. What I do is dampen my hair 1st ( seems to help the mayo absorb better) then I use a big spoon (like a serving spoon) & scoop out 1 1/2 to 2 spoonfuls ( depending on the length of your hair)& run it thru my hair...root to tip. I then twirl my hair around my fingers so its easier to handle & put it under a shower cap. I then start cleaning house,doing dishes, laundry,vacuuming,etc. This can be anywhere from an hour to 2 hours depending on what I'm doing & how dry my hair is. When I'm done I just hop in the shower. I wash the shower cap off with Dawn & I use Suave Daily Clairifying shampoo followed by a conditioner. You may have to wash your hair twice depending on the shampoo you use & or how much of it you use to make sure the mayo gets out. My hair looks & feels healthier after just one treatment. I of course repeat these actions until I get the desired effect...which would obviously be NOT to have my hair look like Bozo the Clowns.
replyMayo $2.00
Shower Cap $1.00 ( your local Dollar General )

P.S.
replythis applies to what I informed you about the Mayo...
Make sure to wear an old shirt/pants in case the oil from the mayo drips on you clothing.
