After a week increase the strength of the solution to half and half. If there is no irritation you can dab on the apple cider vinegar full strength.
**************************************鈥?br>
TEETH-
Apply a bit of baking soda to ur tooth brush and .. brush with that 1 x a day.. then brush with toothpaste.. results should appear in a week with whiter teeth..naturally!
For discolored teeth salt mixed with lime or lemon juice to brush the teeth..(not everyday though..too much salt not advisable:))
BODY-
avoid fatty/oily/sugary foods....or if u want go for a diet u think that works..detox,atkins,southbeach, juice and soup diet..etc..and as for workout..i would advice normal brisk walking or intense cardio..but seems like this isnt what u asked for..so pushups and situps/pilates could do great for ur stomatch and lower abdomen area(ok...i am not really good with the whole body advise):P

And i hope you look fab. before Jan. 8th.
well,I just know how to deal with ';uneven skin tone';...
MELA-D White whiting daily essence (LA-ROCHE-POSAY )30ml, is very effective,even in a couple of days
hair - get your hair cut to get rid of any split ends, use an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner. use serum to stop your hair getting frizzy and fly away. and once a week warm some olive oil put it on your hair and leave it for min 30min. wash it out thoroughly! (i have frizzy flyaway hair too)
skin - use a scrub (i find st. ives is the best, the one speciffically for blemishes) and theres a garnier moisturiser which is great for your (and mine) skin type. maybe havin an elastic band round your wrist an when you start pickin snap the band on your wrist, eventually the pain will become associated with picking your spots and youll do it less.
body - you can do yoga, dance, pilates, swimming, capoeria(sp?) just find something that will interest you. i find running on track outside is best for me.
teeth - go to your dentist they can recommend something professional, which is also alot stronger than the shop bought stuff.
nails - just keep them short end use an emery board to smooth them into a rounded shape. DO NOT USE A METAL EMERY BOARD this will knack up your nails.
good luck and when i find my moisturiser ill edit this for you k.
hair = use head and shoulders and use a taming frizz spray and blow dry your hair and straigten it
skin= proactiv is some kind of acne treatment apparently my friend said its really good
body= swimming is excellent excercise! try butterfly stroke. and go on a diet try and put your cravings towards fruit
teeth= i really dont know try flossing and brushing really well
nails= manicure time!!!
use hair masks. you can get them at sally's beauty supply or any beauty store.or make your own with avacado.
and for bacne use alot of rubbing alcohol to dry out your back.it you wanna hide your thighs wear a pencil skirt. you use the designe to ur advatage and get a VERY sexy hourglass shape.for teeth gargle with baking soda and hyrdogen peroxide but put in some mouth wash with the mixture cuz it tastes really bad. and straight nails are hot.i think curved look a bit old lady. but you can get you nails a cute french color for under $10 or even just $5 at someplaces. but be sure so ask for just a polish change not a full manicure.
Righto. I'll swallow the lecture...
HAIR Sounds like your hair is combo dry w oily roots. That's annoying, I'll bet you find that if you wash it often enough to not be oily, the ends are too dry, but if you leave it so the ends are good, the top is gross... know the feeling. Well to start, get a good cut. That'll get rid of split ends and make it sit better on your head. Then get an anti-dandruff shampoo. You can get them for hair types exactly like yours. Head 'n shoulders is one brand. Hair straighteners are wonderful to make you look well groomed, but use anti-heat products so you don't dry it out further. Try to let it dry naturally, or use a hairdryer on a warm setting, point it downwards too, as it smooths the hair shaft. NEVER EVER dry it by rubbing with a towel, it roughs up the hair shaft and will encourage some world-class frizz. Just squeeze the water with the towel.
SKIN If you have acne and large pores, sounds like your skin type is oily. Go to a good department store where they sell all the treatment products and get a free skin analysis to be sure (but don't necessarily let them sell you $400 worth of Clinique ';absolutely essential must-haves or your face will drop off'; products. Many are ridiculously overpriced and ridiculously under-performing). Astringents are products that will tighten your pores and minimise oil (and hence reduce spots) and a really cheap one is plain old Witch Hazel (get in in any chemist or supermarket). If your acne is really bad, it may be hormonal, and your doctor can give you something to fix it.
Uneven skin tone is caused by areas of dead skin building up - get a good exfoliator. You can buy them, and many are not expensive, or you can make you own - http://www.recipezaar.com/41580.
And it is entirely up to you to break the habit of picking. Just tell yourself how bad it'll look after, and imagine that they'll all turn into huge scars - do something to distract yourself, and tell yourself firmly, ';no, I do not want ugly sores and scars';. Fingers, step awayyyy from the pimple...
BODY Well, riding a bike and swimming are great for getting fit! They'll improve your energy and stamina, but if you're interested in faster toning, go with pilates. (I totally sympathise with your feelings about gyms, they just have that air of a prison movie to me. Or else they seem to consist solely of Stepford bunny-clones, and make you wonder where these people GO outside of the gym, becasue you never seem to see them...)
Anyway, pilates is BRILLIANT. You'll get more flexible than a rubber band, and results are really quite fast. I use the Windsor pilates dvds (and no, I'm in no way connected to the sale of them, they're just the ones I know work, and believe me, I've done an awful lot of different exercise over time) chances are you know someone with them, you can get them off ebay, or probably download them somewhere. There may even be classes near you. If it gives you any idea, many dancers use pilates to stay in shape if they're injured and can't dance. And you can do it regardless of your fitness or ability.
TEETH. You can get enamel-friendly whitening treatments which won't weaken your teeth. They usually say so on the box. Or you could try plain old baking soda. It tastes rather foul and you'll need to rinse with some kind of mouthwash after to refresh your breath, but it sure as heck works and it costs practically nothing. And is perfectly safe for teeth.
NAILS - it's worth having a good manicurist shape your nails once if you don't know how - then next time you can do it yourself. It's important to keep them filed and not massively long - this will strengthen them. Always file in the same direction, don't saw back and forth, as this will weaken them - they are your nails, not a tree. Do not ever cut them.
An easy strenghtening recipe-
2 tsp. castor oil
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. wheat germ oil
Pour all ingredients into a sealable bottle. Before each use, shake well. Rub a small amount of the mixture into your nails. Leave on for 3-5 minutes. Wipe off with a cotton ball.
Almond oil is also good.
Massive reply but hope it helps.
Of course wanting to look good doesn't make you shallow. If that's all you ever think about, then maybe. But there's nothing wrong with taking pride in how you look.
Just make sure you look after your inside too, as (oh boy, I'm sorry for the corniness) but honestly, someone with a lovely heart who is kind, considerate, polite and confident in themselves really does make a person far more beautiful than their complexion or clothing size. I'm around many people who look beautiful in pictures, but are insecure messes, or as soon as they open their mouths are made ugly by their tiny souls. There's others, who are, as my Grandmother puts it ';no oil painting'; but who are such wonderful people you don't even notice their looks, and becasue I know how they are as people, I honestly find it impossible to call them unattractive.
Anyway, have a great time over the holidays, by all means have fun ';beautifying'; yourself, but also remember the world does not end if you have a pimple. Good grief, humans get them. Since we're humans, I guess there's no avoiding it hey? One last trick though - if you do get a big one, you can reduce it's appearance by putting a few drops of Visine on it... works like a charm.
Hair - You can buy products that prevent fly away %26amp; frizz. Try an anti-dandruff shampoo.
Skin - Get a Vitamin E based moisteriser, this helps with reducing scarring. Or see your doctor about your acne, he may be able to prescribe something.
Body - There is loads of exercise...yoga, pilates, kick boxing, aerobics etc. Eat healthily, plenty of fruit %26amp; veg (Will also help with skin). Drink plenty of water too
Teeth - Teeth Whitener could be your only option
Nails - I drink lots of milk, my nails are real healthy %26amp; strong. Get a professional manicure or acrylic nails.
Maybe set a more realistic target that 8th Jan though.
