Mash up some pineapple (Fresh pineapple is ideal, but you can use canned as well) in the blender and rub it into your elbows and knees. Leave it on for about 15 minutes so the natural enzymes can do their work. Rinse off and apply a rich moisturizer or Vaseline.

MANICURE IN A SNAP

Moisturizing regularly is the most important step for soft, smooth hands. Rub a glycerin-based cream into your hands several times a day, especially after washing them or spending time outdoors. After moisturizing, file nails into a square shape with rounded edges. It's the most natural looking shape, and will discourage hangnails from forming. Next, rub a buffer over nails to give them a bit of shine. Finish off by rubbing a small dab of cuticle oil, around the edges.

BROWN SPOTS ON YOUR HANDS

Age spots are caused by years of sun exposure. Since our hands generally get the most rays, that's where they show up first. First, pay your dermatologist a visit to make sure they're not pre-cancerous. Then they can be treated topically with bleaching cream, hydrocortisone creams or Retina-A. Microdermabrasion is also an option to buff them away. You must wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day to prevent those spots from returning.

Give them a rest from polish. Nail polish and the acetone removers dry out your nails and making them susceptible to chips and breakage. Forget those myths about eating gelatin; your nails are dead keratin and can't be nourished. Instead, use moisturizer to soften the nails, and try buffing them for a week instead of coating them. When you do wear polish, use a strengthening base coat to protect your nails.

Wearing a lot of dark polish and smoking regularly are the main causes of yellowing nails. One of the easiest ways to bleach your nails back to a healthy-looking pink is with a lemon. Slice it in half and stick your finger in for a few minutes. The natural acids will whiten and soften the nail. Rinse and apply a lotion.

Exfoliate daily while you're in the shower -- pumice stones or foot files help softening calluses. Then immediately apply a rich moisturizing cream and slip on a pair of socks to seal it in place. In a week or so, you'll have a new pair of feet!

Mix one half cup of honey with one half cup of orange juice and apply to the affected areas. Let sit for 5 minutes then rinse. Honey heals and banishes blemishes and the orange juice will dry up the excess oils.

Carefully crack open a raw egg and remove the skin that's inside the shell. Put the wet side on the cut for speedy healing without a scar!

Before you go to bed, put a small wedge of lemon on the toenail, securing it with a band-aid. Put on a sock. When you wake up, the nail should be soft enough to ease it away from the skin so that you can trim it. Always cut the nail straight across and not any shorter than the toe.

Mix two Tbs. of petroleum jelly with the contents of one 400 IU vitamin E capsule and massage all over your legs. Slip on cotton pajamas and go to bed. In the morning, wash legs with a moisturizing body wash and apply a body lotion. Soft as silk!
