Easy ways to remove dead skin!

When you have dead skin on your face or even on your hands or feet, it can catch on things. It can  tear, and if its really bad it can bleed.
There are many simple ways this can be cured.
If the problem area is your face:
Use a gentle exfoliator to exfoliate off the dead skin cells. Rinse it off with luke warm water, and pat dry with a towel. Do not rub it because this particular movement is harsh on the skin. Then apply a facial moisturizer, water based is the best.
If the problem area is on your hands or feet:
Purchase a pumice stone. This is a stone you can use to exfoliate dead skin off. It can be used multiple times. Once you have done that heat some olive oil so its warm but not too hot. Let your hands or feet soak in this for about 15 minutes. Pat this dry but do not wash it off. On top of this apply a heavy cream moisturizer. Take plastic wrap and wrap your hands/feet in this and leave it for as long as you want ( i like to do this overnight). Take it off and rinse with warm water! Now you will have moisturized nice skin :) Repeat as much as you want!

Nails Nails Nails

1. To keep your nails hydrated, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly into your cuticle and the skin surrounding your nails every evening before you go to bed or whenever your nails feel dry.
2. Wear rubber gloves whenever you do housework or wash dishes. Most household chores, from gardening to scrubbing the bathroom to washing dishes, are murderous on your nails. To protect your digits from dirt and harsh cleaners, cover them with vinyl gloves whenever it’s chore time. And for extra hand softness, apply hand cream before you put on the rubber gloves.
3. When pushing back your cuticles (it is not necessary to cut them) come in at a 45-degree angle and be very gentle. Otherwise the cuticle will become damaged, weakening the entire nail,
4. Dry your hands for at least two minutes after doing the dishes, taking a bath/shower, etc. Also dry your toes thoroughly after swimming or showering.
5. Add a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg to your daily diet. Rich in zinc, they’ll do wonders for your nails, especially if your nails are spotted with white, a sign of low zinc intake.

Natural Ways to make Hair Soft and Shiny

1.Comb Olive oil through your hair and towel dry it. Put your towel on your pillow and sleep overnight with it. Shampoo it out in the morning and your hair will be soft and shiny
2.Put mayonaise all over your hair, leave it on for twent minutes and then rinse it out, it leaves your hair soft  and shiny.
3. Dip your hair in a bowl of alcohol (beer) and leavi it on until it dries. When it does rinse it out and your hair will be frizzless and soft.
4.Try not to wear hair elastics as much. Have you ever noticed when you leave your hair up for a long time and use elastics with metal or the skinny plastic ones a ring of hair comes out with it.
5.DO NOT OVERBRUSH IT. You should brush your hair three times maximum a day. If you do more than this it breaks your hair and leaves it all frizzy. It looks bad and it wrecks your hair its not worth it.
6. dont shampoo and wash your hair everyday. It strips your hair of natural oils
