Remember, the best time to carry out any kind of treatment on your lips is before bedtime. Take a clean washcloth and wet it with warm water. Next, with your index finger placed inside the washcloth use it to rub your lips slowly and carefully. This should be good enough to remove any kind of dirt or loose skin on your lips.
Next, take an old toothbrush; make sure it is one that comes with soft bristles. Place a tiny bit of Vaseline on it and brush your lips softly and gently. This is a great exfoliator and it will remove any remaining traces of dead skin. This also works as a precursor to the treatment that your lips are about to get.

Once you have cleaned your lips, then take a little bit of Vaseline and apply it on your lips. Make sure you do this just before you go to sleep. Keep doing this every night until your lips go back to being soft and smooth. Once they get to that stage, then you can carry out this Vaseline treatment every other day or however often you think it necessary.

Big tummies
Do not go for horizontal stripes. If you must, then diagonal or vertical are the best choice. Choose floral patterns as this distracts the eyes, thus camouflaging your stomach.

Ruched suits are also great ways of drawing the eye away from your tummy area. You can even go for a bikini, but wear it with boys’ shorts or even a tankini.

Big buttocks
Dark colors and large prints make you look slimmer.

High cut legs as opposed to a bottom half is preferable. Boys’ shorts will accentuate your buttocks, so do not even think about it.

Wide hips
Again, large prints and dark colors will help minimize those wide hips, while tiny floral patterns will only make them look bigger. Even dark, single colors are great.

A printed top paired with a single colored bottom is also a great way to draw the attention away from your hips.

Small hips
Try wearing horizontal stripes - they will make your hips look nice and wide.

To give yourself more curves, go for boys’ shorts, bottoms with tie sides or even cut-out swimsuits - the flattering, curvaceous effect they create are to-die-for.

Big busts
Wear darker colors on top and by all means opt for vertical and diagonal stripes, just not horizontal stripes.

Swimwear with plunge necks or even deep V-necks is a good option as they will not only give your figure a new lengthiness but also lessen your bust area. If you have narrow shoulders, try wearing a double or wide strapped halter-neck.

Forget spaghetti straps, they will only make your bust look bigger.

Small busts
Buy swimwear with large prints. They are perfect for drawing attention away from smaller busts.

Ruched swimsuits are also great, especially if the ruching is done around the bust area - which will accentuate them, making them look bigger and fuller. Bikini tops with ruffles, frills and other such details are also great buys.

Treatment #1: Use a gentle cleanser on your face and then pat it dry. Next, place wet tea bags right under your eyes for about ten minutes. This brightens up the area under your eye, and lightens the skin as well. For best results, do this in the morning.

Treatment #2: Mix some honey and almond oil together and then start from the outer edge of the skin under your eye, and massage it in slowly. Keep massaging it for around five minutes. Do this at night. It not only softens the skin but strengthens it as well.

Treatment #3: Drink lots of water. Dark circles under the eye are said to be due to an iron deficiency, also referred to as anemia. Dehydration can also cause dark circles. Start taking an iron supplement daily.

Treatment #4: If you are in a rush, and do not have time for any of these, here is a quick-fix method. Dab a bit of moisturizer under the eyes and let it be for around five minutes. Then apply a very thin layer of foundation and keep it light. Dust some concealing powder once you are done and then it will look fine.
