What is the Best Beauty Advice your Mother Gave You?

[dalvia]

For me, my mother always encouraged me to eat well and that beauty starts from the inside-out.

For great skin: She said,

* Eat lots of Avocado's, nuts, good oils etc

* Sleep at least 8 hours

* Never go to bed with your makeup on

* Drink plenty of water

There has to be some others!

What beauty advice did your mother give you? I'm curious!

The best advice my mother gave me was to be myself. She told me that real beauty comes from within...

She really didn't give me much beauty advice, but I used to love to watch her put on makeup before she went to work. I would sit and stare in utter fascination. So, I basically learned from watching than having someone tell me.

I know that she had gotten quite a few kicks from watching me experiment with my face.

If anything, I've been the one dispensing tips and tricks to her. She's an apt pupil, and she's been doing rather well i must say...

THat people have different views beauty and everyone is gorgeous in there own unique way.

She never really gave me any beauty advice, because she's not a very vain person - she only wears makeup when she dresses up, which is maybe 6 times a year, and then it's only simple eyeliner and neutral lipstick. Then again, she's never really needed makeup, since she's beyond beautiful. I grew up wishing I had taken after her instead of my dad. Given that, it's interesting that she is the foremost person to have instilled the value of hard work and integrity in me.

The only beauty advice I got from my mom is to drink plenty of water and that's because we both have a kidney problem lol. But, I considered that, a beauty tips since my mom have a great skin and she never had any pimples, at least not when I lived with her.

Never go to bed w/makeup on & try to get plenty of rest are the two that come to mind right off - If I think of any others I'll post'em.

Drink plenty of water, and when applying cosmetics, keep it natural.

None... Her fave thing to tell me was, "Wearing all that makeup is going to make you age faster! And then you will need it!" LOL!

Drink water and eat better!! She also told me to "Back away from the mirror, people aren't going to get that close to you". AND "I think working on your inner beauty is more important than your outer". I used to complain a lot about my imperfections. Was the best advice I've ever received!!!

Well, she's still always telling me that it's what's on the inside that counts - and I'm still wishing I could truly feel that way (about myself). Other than that, drink lots of water (still don't do) and never go to bed without washing my face (wish I listened to that one starting about 12 years ago)

Drink water, take multi-vitamins, vitamin C and "Who cares what people think?!"

My mother told me to drink lots of water and wear sunscreen, and to smile a lot--that last bit of advice I didn't keep. She told me to "always smile,no matter what" and I think that would have really freaked people out! I know it freaked me out! I mean, how creepy...

Wear sunscreen

Don't squint in the sun! Always wear sunglasses so as to not get that ugly wrinkle in between eyebrows!

- Drink plenty of water

- Always wash face with warm water

- not to use MU everyday. Meaning, foundation, face powder.

- Use natural mask once a week

- Eat Honey almost everyday

- put oil for 30 min before wash my hair

- Eat lots of fish

- try to avoid greese foods

i can't remember rest...i have to come back to post again. good thread by the way.

Not much about beauty, but she surely made sure I ate all my vegetables. My dad would make sure that happened, lol, I'm so grateful now because I'm not picky and I can eat everything. Oh, she also told me to never pick my pimples, *ahem* I did it though

and I still do!

 

[beautynista]

To keep my hands off my face!

 

[monniej]

my mother told me to "never wear makeup. you just don't need it"! it was pretty good advice for most of my life! now i'm just a walking makeup advertisement! lmao
