You might have noticed the Beauty Tip of the Day widget on my sidebar, featuring beauty tips, the last couple of months. Have you tried any of them out? If not, you should. I never realized there were so many uses for some of the items that are already in many bathrooms. For example, did you know that Vaseline is a good way to tame unruly eyebrows? Neither did I until I read about it on my sidebar. I have learned a lot of beauty tips and my favorite so far is is...
I love Micro Dermabrasion Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes. I was sent a sample and I love how they remove all of my makeup (even eye makeup) without burning. My skin feels so soft and clean when I'm done. I received Unilever brand samples including products from Vaseline, Q-tips, Pond's and Dove to try out and you can too! I use the Q-tips daily to dab concealer on a scar. They are so much sturdier than the off brand version I had in my medicine cabinet.
WIN WIN WIN!
One Potamus Prefers reader will win Unilever brand goodies. The goodies will include products from Vaseline, Q-tips, Pond's and Dove. It will be a fun surprise!
Update: Congrats to #40 llinda29 who said, "Use a roller brush instead of a flat iron".

I like the tip on how to repair summer damaged hair (from too much sun and chlorine). Instead of heat styling, wrap pieces of your hair around strips of cloth (cut from a pillow case) and tie at the end. In the morning unwrap and you have loads of curls.

In the summer my family does a lot of hiking where there is not a lot of running water for bathing. You also need to carry out everything you use. I bring along the moist Ponds towelettes so we can still wash without using lots of water.
They are also light and easy to carry out of the woods.
