What?!?!
Well I learned this trick from good ol' mom. I have pretty clear skin (most of the time) but once in a while, a lovely little zit- or gigantic pimple, will greet me in the morning while brushing my teeth. With the toothbrush helplessly dangling from my lips, I squeeze the heck out of my visitor in a frantic rage. Then, after finding that I neglected to pick up any astringent or blemish cream, I reach for the toothpaste.
Just a dab on the zit will do, and works best overnight unless you don't mind having a blue or green spot on your face throughout the day (like me). There is an interesting cooling sensation on the blemish after applying toothpaste, and it shrinks the pimple dramatically and reduces redness. Not to mention, the fresh mint smell isn't bad either.
So how does this work? Well the toothpaste acts almost like a face mask by drying out the pimple. And, in most cases the paste will contain a menthol or natural mint oil which will draw impurities from the skin. However, try not to leave the toothpaste on too long- especially if you have sensitive skin, because if skin gets too dry it can become irritated.
The next time you have a blemish, zit, pimple, whitehead, whatever you want to call it, take some advice from mom. Slap a little toothpaste on the zit while polishing the pearly whites.

Who would have thought that what you eat affects your skin? Not only is it important to stray away from the pizza face, but there are certain foods that will improve the look of your skin.
Pomegranate:
Pomegranate is a great fruit to eat because of its high antioxidant content. These antioxidants help to rid the skin of free radicals, which are typically formed from sun damage. These free radicals inhibit the cell membrane in your skin, and have the potential to damage your DNA. If DNA is damaged, the problem can only replicate and not be fixed.
Salmon:
This pink fish is awesome for your skin because of its fatty acids. The fatty acids help to repair and maintain the cell membrane in your skin. It creates a kind of barrier to keep water in skin cells, and allows for skin to keep hydrated and soft.
Green Tea:
This is like the magical elixir for scientific studies. Green tea is not only healthy for skin, but it is proven to work wonders for the body as well. The tea leaves contain an anti-inflammatory agent that will reduce puffiness and irritation of the cell membrane. There are studies that theorize that green tea will actually help to prevent cancer.
Water:
Water is the essential to human existence. Our bodies are made up of 70% water, so it's only natural that it is insanely good for us. Hard water is actually better for our bodies because of the natural mineral content. The more water we drink, the more efficiently our bodies sweat, which rids our skin of toxins and impurities.
Add these four foods and drinks into your diet and results are guaranteed. Not only are these items healthy for you, they are natural, and will provide natural looking results.

I am sure that at one point, almost every American has had Heidi Montag flash across their TV screen. Whether it was her role on The Hills, I'm A Celebrity (lol) Get Me Out Of Here! or her now Frankenstein appearance: it's happened. This star is hungry, and not just for food. Heidi is one of those attention starved wanna-be celebrities that just doesn't seem to be doing anything right lately. After ten plastic surgeries in 3 months, this woman has made it impossible for herself to do anything, even hug somebody!
Plastic surgery is no joke, and is as common to celebrities (even the wanna-be's) as gossip is to us normal people. Whether it's a quick face lift or bumping the girls up a size (or in Heidi's case: ten) it happens on a regular basis. But just how much is too much? Heidi Montag provides a great example of lunacy: she had ten procedures in just three months. That is so extreme, and on the day of her photoshoot for US Weekly, she had a back scraping. What the hell is a back scraping? Well, Heidi doesn't know either.
A lot of times, when people undergo serious cosmetic plastic surgery, it is to fix minor flaws. But just as common, they overdo it. The quest for beauty becomes an addiction, and eventually leads to a more deformed image than before (i.e. Joan Rivers, Victoria Beckham, and almost anybody else with big boobs). More often than not, patients who undergo one procedure return for more operations. They just can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar!
