For oily skin:
Tea tree oil soap is effective against breakouts.
Use toners with a witch hazel base, as opposed to alcohol, to prevent overdrying, which causes skin to produce even more oil.
Find a clay mask you like and use it once a week. I like Seaweed Mud Treatment by H2Oplus.
For everyone:
Once a month, draw a warm bath, for soaking not bathing. Add 2 cups of epsom salt and soak in it to remove toxins from the body.
For soft feet, soak feet in a half gallon of warm water with 1 cup of vinegar for 20 minutes. Burn a candle if you can't stand the smell of vinegar. Then, rub feet with a punice stone.
If you like shea butter, you can purchase the unrefined butter (it's cheaper), melt it down in a microwave safe dish, and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to tone down the natural scent. Just stick it in the refrigerator for a few minutes and it will resolidify very quickly.
Invest in a high quality body moisturizer just because. I like Multi-Vitamin Milk body lotion by H2O Plus. It makes me feel like Cleopatra.
Wrap hair in satin scarves, not cotton.
Don't be cheap! Buy matching lipliner to go with your lipsticks. It really does keep the lipstick from "bleeding" into those fine lines around your mouth.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables daily.
Smile!
