Beaux Tip: Adopt the "essential oil of lemon pepper"It holds a very pleasant aroma from volatile essential oils. Incredibly useful for repelling ants & mosquitoes, freshening shoes, and as wonderfully amazing skin freshener. I also love love love to include it in any cooking marinade or seasoning in the dry form. I seasoned the chicken that we made tonight with it, and it was loved!

Beaux Tip: If you are in the market for a new dependable, fresh body soap; try Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. It is  an organic, 100% natural, amazing soap that I have used since I was a child. Sometimes the liquid soaps tend to be rather intense, so I would recommend diluting them with a tad bit of water before use. My favorite is the peppermint scent which comes in with the dark blue label.

Beaux Tip:Tomato is excellent for purifying and rejuvenating your skin. Rub off the top layer of dead skin cells with the gentle help of tomatoes. Rub tomato slices directly onto your clean skin, focusing on areas with lots of blackheads. Tomatoes contain Vitamin C which has healing powers, and an acid which eliminates dead skin and unclogs pores, making skin soft and radiant.

Beaux Tip: Moisturizer is the MOST important beauty tool that you need. It should be applied under foundation, powder or even worn without them. It should be applied daily. I would recommend M.A.C's Studio Fix Moisture SPF 15, $28. Even if you choose not to purchase this particular moisturizer, try to find one that does protect your skin from the sun; your face is incredibly vulnerable to the sun and it's crazy rays!
