Fresher Without Water

Taking your facial cleanser to the gym or for an overnight stay generally means toting a lot to use a little. Now, you have a practiacal, efficient option: wipes designed for the face. Premoistened with a gentle, nondrying facial cleanser, these towelettes quickly clear away makeup, eliminating the need for bottles, jars, towels, cotton pads, tissues, or swabs. Some can even remove waterproof eye makeup. A few contain some soothing natural ingrdients, which include green tea, chamomile, vitamin E, and provitamin B6.
Look for towelettes that come in individual packages that make them a good choice for purse toting and lightweight travel.

Chapped Lips?

Having a problem with chapped lips? Try this. To remove any unwanted dry skin off of your lips, you can exfoliate them with your toothbrush when you brush your teeth. In a pinch, add a dab of Vaseline to protect them. Use a moisturizing lipstick in the daytime hours and apply lip balm before you go to bed. Also, avoid licking your lips. This is very bad for the lips.
