 (Note: Always do a patch test on skin/hair to be sure you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients in any of the treatments.)

Hair  

Check out mark.'s new haircare line!!

At home remedy: Alternative1.  Conditioning Hair Mask

3tbsp. mayonnaise

4tsp. white wine vinegar

1egg white

Combine all ingredients, apply to damp hair. Wrap your head in plastic wrap or a shower cap and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse well.

 

Alternative 2. A honey mask is a like a big gulp to dry and brittle hair.

Mix 1/2 cup honey with 1/3 cup of olive oil (to make it less gooey) and smooth on. Cover hair with a shower cap for 20 minutes, then shampoo.

 

Alternative 3. Mash a ripe banana and add some drops of almond oil. Massage into your hair and let it stay on for about 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

 

Face

Step 1: Cleanse your face with mark.'s Clean Machine Megavitamin Cleanser or Let's Be Clear Blemish Neutralizing Cleanser $5.50 each.

Step 2: Exfoliate with mark.'s Clearing Trend Decongesting Scrub Mask $7  home remedy: Mix 1 tbsp. of plain yogurt and 1 tbsp. of honey in a bowl. Boil 1/2 cup of water and add either a peppermint, chammomile or jasmine tea bag for 20 minutes. Remove tea bag and add liquid to yogurt/honey mixture. Stir and slowly add 1/4 cup of oatmeal. Apply to face, massaging it in for 30 seconds. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

Step 3: Apply moisturizer to lock in that mark. glow: Vita Surge Megavitamin Hydrator and Moistureclear Oil-Free Hydrator $8 each

Step 4(optional): Wear an oil free foundation with an SPF 15. Use mark.'s  C-Thru-U Beautifying Sheer Tint $8. You can blend the different shades and it's the best way to fake flawless skin!! If you're looking for more coverage try Face X-pert $8.

 

To further hide any flaws, blemishes, dark spots and contours apply mark.'s Invisible Touch Perfecting Concealer $5 with mark.'s Concealer Brush $5.

 

To set this look use mark.'s Powder Brush $8 to apply Powder-matic Go Anywhere Loose Powder $8.

   

Step 5 : Stay hydrated with water throughout the day.

At home remedy: Mix 2 tbsp. plain yogurt, 1 tsp. of lemon juice, 2 drops of tea tree oil in a bowl. Spread on to face with fingertips last thing at night. Rinse face in the morning.

 

Eyes

Eyebrow arching:

 1. Use a toothbrush to brush eyebrows in an up and out motion.

2. The inside end of the brow should line up with the inner corner of the eye. The outer limit should angle from the outer corner of the eye to that same side of the nose.

3. Start plucking the strays beneath the brow. Try to follow the brows natural shape. Every few plucks step back to observe your shape because you wouldn't want to overpluck. Continue until pleased.

4. To keep them in tamed and in place try mark.'s Glam and Groom Brow Defining Pencil $6.

 

Tools: mark.'s Eye Shadow Brush , Blending Brush and Eyeliner Brush

$5 each.

 

  • Want your brown eyes to pop?  Try green eyeshadow. I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow $4 in Vintage Khaki, Dragonfly or Heavenly.
  • Blue eyes? Try orange eyeshadow.
  • Green eyes? Try purples . I-Mark in Plum Velvet, Tart, Catwalk.
  • Hazel eyes? Try blue eyeshadow. I-Mark in Daybreaker or Airy

 

For bold lashes apply Lashtensions, to create fullness, then apply a black mascara (Comb Out Lash Lifting Mascara) then colored mascara on the tip. I recommend mark.'s Scanda-Lash Hook Up Mascara in winegloss.

Tip: Don't be afraid of bright eye makeup!!

 

Lips

Keep lips chap free with Kiss Xpert's Lip Smoothing Treatment. Then apply Kiss Therapy Super Soothing Lip Balm. Next apply Fresh Kiss Cool Burst Lip Color (optional). Finally coat with one of mark.s many lip glosses. I would recommend a Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss or Electrolights.

Legs

Shave with mark.'s high comfort shaving cream from the Body Squad.

Keep your legs ultra-moisturized with one of Self Sanctuary's Body Butter

.

Don't have time to shave every week use the Body Squad's Hair Minimizing Body Lotion.

Feet

  1. Heat up some milk. Soak your feet in it for 10 minutes. The lactic acid loosens the dead skin.
  2. Scrub feet with a pumice stone to smooth the feet and remove all of the tough, dead skin.
  3. Dry feet and coat with the Body Squad's Sole Smoothing Foot Cream . Put on cotton socks for 5 minutes. Remove excess cream with a remover.
  4. Apply a base coat and 2 coats of  your shade of choice of Mark, Set, Shine Rapid-Action Nail Color.
  5. Apply clear top coat. Let dry completely. Then put your feet out and admire your work.

 

 

Body

Exfoliate your body with mark.'s Clear All Over Body Scrub or Self Sanctuary's Spa Sea Water Mineral Body Polish . At home remedy: Cut a grapefruit in half. Dip one half of it in sugar then scrub in a circular motion until sugar has disappeared. Do Not use on freshly shaven legs.

Upper back breaking out? Try the Body Squad's Bacne Acne spray.

wrapped in well being SELF SANCTUARY SPA SEA WATER GIFT SET
Our Self Sanctuary Spa Sea Water gift set celebrates water's healing benefits with refreshing marine notes to purify the body, mind and soul.
  1. Break a sweat. Do some yoga to help you feel calmer and  improve your posture.  Pilates can also help you !!
  2. Clear out your closet of things you'll never wear because they are fashion don'ts or in the wrong size. Give them to your local charities that are always collecting.  Less clutter leaves the mind clearer and makes getting dressed a much simpler task.
  3. Make a list of all the compliments you have received from your family down to perfect strangers and pull it out when you're feeling unsure of yourself. This gives you a heads up on your best assets.
  4. Take a bath. Nothing is more calming than the warmness of water all over your body. The water practically closes out the world. I would recommend  Self Sanctuary's Kiwi Lotus Bath Honey. Light some mark. candles to enhance the mood.
  5. An instant mood booster are parfums and body lotions that smells good enough to eat. Hollywood Pink's Fragrance Mist, Deluscious Shower Syrup, Deluscious Body Lotion and Whipped Body Souffle have a light chocolate scent that reminds us of our favorite candy bars and even home. Your skin will be touchably irresistible and subtly sweet. 
  6. To feel good about who you are you should treat others good. There's no way you can feel good if you're ugly on the inside.
