Always put sunscreen on your face and wash makeup off every night before bed.. and thanks to her advice i am 27 and never suffered acne and have picture perfect skin 🙂 x
I do not need to wear makeup as to see my true beauty
as true beauty comes from the inside not the outside.
The best advice ever from Mum was to look after my skin and I started using skin care producst at age 14. My skin is still fabulous, thanks to Mum and her wisdom !
Always wash your face before going to bed, no matter how tired you are
Mum was never a big one for using makeup but she was a stickler for skincare and looking after your teeth. She insisted that I brush my teeth morning and night and always cleanse and moisturise. I always had to wear sunscreen when going out in the sun. She would say “The most beautiful thing about you is your heart and when you smile the beauty in your heart will show but people wont see it if they are distracted by black teeth or dirty skin”…. Love my Mum 🙂
excellent advice from your mum
My mum always told me: when ever you put creams of any sort on your face always do it from the middle of the face and then outward and upwards…..
Keep your face and hands clean, and go lightly on the make-up except for Lippy
Hmmmm that’s a tough one. Im pretty sure telling me to stop pulling such awful faces in case the wind changes & it stayed like THAT! YIKES 🙂
My mother’s best beauty advice (advice that was repeated with frightening regularity and increasing volume) was to stop picking my face. Now in my mid 20s I have finally started listening to and adopting that advice – it only took me 10yrs!
Mum taught me quick, cheap and simple tricks to look my best – such as dabbing a tiny bit of my favourite perfume on a pimple or blemish to dry it out. Saves buying a specific product, and it counts as scent layering!
razors are dangerous thats why only men use them ,… never woman, best advice i wish i had of taken notice of
Never leave the house without a lipstick. Not only is key to making any outfit look instantly polished and put-together, but it also moonlights as the perfect blush (or rouge as Mum likes to call it).
My Mother all told me to use moisturiser on my skin to keep it looking younger and to never rub my eyes as it makes you get wrinkles.
My mother advised me to never smoke, as smoking ages the skin much quicker than anything else! I dont smoke and never have, thanks mum!
I’m in Canada, but can pay shipping if I win 🙂
The best beauty tip mum gave me: Get More Sleep!
The best beauty advice my lovely Mum gave me was always wear sunscreen, even if you are going outside for only 5 minutes!! And really watch how much alcohol you drink, it really wrecks your skin.
never go to bed without taking your makeup off
Stop frowning or you’ll look 80 before you are 20!
My mum told me my smile would always be the best assest I owned to keep your teeth well, when brushing your teeth always clean your face, as I got older she added in proper cleansers but by 13 we were already in the habit of cleansing, at 16 she added in a light eye cream, even good quality products could be found when money was a struggle as mum raised us on her own. Oh and sunscreen 🙂
Avoid melanoma, wrinkles, skin despair,
Mum’s best advice? “SPF30+… MUST WEAR!”
My grandmother was my best friend, and the one who gave me beauty advice: she said oatmeal sewn into a muslin bag was perfect for a bath soak, but she also said to use it as a scrubbing pad to keep hands and face soft and white. Everyone knows how good an oatmeal bath is for sensitive and painful skin, but the new trend is muslin face cloths for exfoliation and cleansing! My grandmother was way ahead of her time, I miss her every day.
Best beauty advice my mum ever gave me was to never look in a mirror before leaving the house because if you feel beautiful then you will look beautiful as well 🙂
Mum always said Beauty comes from within
Not just on your outer skin
Always said Walk and Stand Proud with a smile
And your Inner Beauty will take style
MY MUM ALWAYS SAID “USE A GOOD FACE WASH AND MORE IMPORTANTLY USE A GREAT MOISTURIZER ….AND I DO !”
Mum always told me to put a cold compress on my face to soothe acne and inflamattion. I’d dampen it, put it over sliced cucumbers so the antioxidants were infused in the material and then leave it in the freezer for an hour before gently applying it to my face. Strangely worekd wonders!
Cleanse, moisturise and use sunscreen daily!
you should always take one night a week to pamper yourself beauty-wise, no matter how busy you get 🙂
Never,ever go outside the front door without sunscreen,it is the most important skin care product of all
The best (and only) beauty advice my mother ever gave me was “don’t twist your face”! Which I guess is pretty good advice because it doesn’t matter how pretty you look, if your expression is unattractive you simply won’t look beautiful.
My Mum taught me that when you have a great life full of fun, you’ll probably have to spend a lot on skincare to take care of the laughter lines…but it’s worth every cent !
Winter, with socks & stockings, always dries out my heels but Mum told me to moisturise (heavily), straight after my shower then put on my bed socks :)… the heat, moisturiser & fluffy socks means no cracked heels come summer sandals.
My mother always said that Tea Tree Oil would clear up any skin problem, Acne, pimples, blemishes and dry skin. It really did work.
Mum’s a big advocate of….. “drink more water”. If I’m feeling/looking tired, headachy, bloated, seedy, sick, blotchy or just plain yuck, that’s what Mum would say. It definitely would help the seedy headache, which in turn stopped the frowning…. making me more beautiful! Lol, or so Mum said.
Never never go to bed with makeup on if nothing else water and cloth or tissues to remove
Mum’s best beauty advice is to always and I mean ALWAYS wash your make off before bed, no matter how tired you are. It has saved me so many times from breaking out and I notice when I don’t do it, how much my skin freaks out and instantly blemishes appear. She also taught me the importance of having a good skin care regime going from an early age.
Stay out of the sun, it’s really simple but it’s the best anti-ageing tool there is out there.
Mun always said take care of your inside and the outside will take care of itself.
Ps. It might need a little help from Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector.
Not really beauty advice, but she said I would be grateful when middle-aged, that I had oily skin as a teen. Shes right, I have no wrinkles at age 48 !!
Always smile, it is the best make-up a girl can have. Have you ever seen a smiling face that was not beautiful?
alway moisterise, smile and wear sunscreen. Never use soap on yr face, use proper cleaners.
Always wear sunscreen, drink lots of water, smile & don’t look in the mirror with your glasses on. Wrinkles don’t exist if you don’t see them!
Mums best ever beauty tip was to wash my make up off every night and don’t go to bed without drinking a glass of water
I cant say as my mum passed away when I was young, but to my daughter I will say you don’t need make up as you are beautiful without it. Love my princess xo
wash your make up before bed and simplicity is elegance
For me, so many years ago the advice was always cleanse before bed, tone and moisturise. I am now 60 plus and other than a few “worry” lines on the forehead, very happy with my skin!! Thanks Mother
My mum says to never was your face with hot water as it creates bigger pores and means you’ll be prone to more dirtier, pore-filled skin and a girls best cleanser is water; forever and always.
I don’t know if i would say it was beauty advice persae but definitely something that stayed in my mind. when pregnant with me she said she always ate lots of watermelon which she says probably had a helping hand with my skin. always remembered that and never leave home without my pump water it s a daily fix for me and definitely is an ongoing plus with my skin.
I can still see myself as a child leaning over a basin whilst she bathed my skin in milk (much to my annoyance) and she put overly ripe avocado on my face as a mask when i was a teenager…hmmm. She went out and bought me the whole range of Helena Rubenstein (1974 very puberty blues) much to the shock of my fellow schoolmates. She has gone now but the cream on top of the milk…STAY OUT OF THE SUN between 10 and 2, which i should have taken more notice of! Bless her.
THE best beauty advice that my mother gave me is to clean my skin with Rose Water, it’s cheap, you can buy it in any supermarket, cleans, tones and refresh your skin like no other! Use it Everyday ;)!
My mum tells me that I don’t need lots of makeup to look beautiful. What makes me beautiful is from the inside.
Mum always told me to start my day with a glass of warm water with lemon & drink plenty of water and always clean and maintain my skin . I’ve found Lancôme products are a great bonus as well! Use the best & forget the rest!!
Always wear suncream, and cleanse in upward strokes
Mum always told me/nagged me to take my make up off before bed using baby oil and cotton buds
After applying your makeup always us the brush downward to make the fine hair on your face always lie down
Wear sunscreen everyday and smile
The best thing mum ever did for me was keep me out of the sun when I was small and made me wear a hat.
The best advice I’ve been given by my mother is not to pump my mascara up and down as it dries the mascara.
She told me to take care of my posture. I’m grateful for the advice because good posture makes a world of difference to how you look and feel!
My mum also said her grandmother had beautiful skin from using Rosewater as a toner
The best beauty advice my mother ever gave me was to be beautiful on the inside. Gorgeous women sometimes lose their inner beauty to their outer beauty and I didn’t ever want to be the toxic mean girl.
Use moisturiser, avoid sun, drink water, avoid alchohol/smoking, remove makeup before bed, don’t clog pores by using foundation…can’t say I’ve ALWAYS used EVERY technique, but most have worked pretty well for me
A eyebrow pencil is your best friend. A nice shaped brow frames your best feature – your eyes. (I inherited her brows that are semi thick but only go half way above the eye)
Mum told me to always try to be positive, kind and happy on the inside – as being a happy and caring person always makes you look beautiful, no matter what your age.
My Mother told me many years ago, I should ALWAYS use face cream to keep it moist, and soft. It looks even now I am told 10 years younger.Simple advice, that totally paid off.. That was nearly 35 years ago!…….Thanks Mum 🙂
The best thing you can put on your face is a smile and sunscreen – everyday of the year.
Best advice my mum gave me was to put on sun screen – im a red head so great advice.
Stay out of the sun and drink plenty of water.
My mum told me to always take my make up off before I go to bed and use good skincare products. I got my first skincare kiat from my mum at 13 and it was from the Prue Acton range. ( yes, I am showing my age)
One of the best advice she gave me and that is credible for everybody at every age, every gender, for people who use much or little makeup… is that o matter what , always have your “beauty sleep”, because without it, there’s no makeup in the world that can correct your unealthy skin and tiredness! Very simple and basic, but very very true 🙂
The best advice my mum ever gave me was to always wash ur makeup off before bed, no matter how tired you are! I still listen to her words today and I’m 35!!
My nanna always told me, with my english heritage moisturiser is my friend in winter, and aloe gel after a day in the sun is my friend in summer. and to this day i still moisturise daily and in summer time a cool dose of aloe on warm skin is refreshing!
Excess is not success; too much of anything is not too good after all 🙂
Stop frowning or pulling bad faces incase the wind changes! Lol I thought it was true :).
A little make-up is flattering too much and you look like a painted doll.
Makeup will not make you beautiful- being happy with yourself is the definition of beautiful. But if you must wear it- keep it simple, always wash it off before bed and allow your skin to breathe.
Beauty comes from within, and a smile is the best way to release it!
The best advise was from my grandmother,she alway said your face is the cover of your soul so treat it well ,and you will always glow and feel good,kept your face clean and alway moisturize twice daily and dont forget your neck and the rest of your body,she said i would thank her one day ,sadly she is no longer with us but i will thank her as she was right,my skin looks good and i my skin hasnt aged like my sibblings and friends thanks grandma
shazz
A glass of rosy red each night, gives your skin a rosy delight..
Always wear sunscreen to protect your skin from unwanted aging!
be yourself and give life all you have to give!
My mom always says that a happy girl is a pretty girl. Be true to your emotions but you have control over them……so be positive! She is so very right. But she also was a stickler for moisturiser, for face and body…AND DON”T FORGET YOUR NECK! : D
What you put in to your body will show on the outside.
The best beauty advice my mum has ever given me would be less is more! She would say makeup is used to enhance beauty, and you don’t need alot because you beautiful they way you are! 🙂
It wasn’t the best advice I got from my Grandma…she used to tell me to pinch my cheeks to add colour to them (talk about broken capillaries which I have a few) , then she said bite, pinch & lick my lips to add colour & shine to them………….the best advice I ever got from my Mum was hydrate on the inside & out with 8 glasses of water a day, & wear moisturizer with sun screen & not to wear make-up to bed.
Less is more!
Conselhos simples e valiosos como jamais dormir com a maquillage,usar diariamente um protetor solar,seguir os 3 passos de limpar,tonificar e massagear suavemente com um bom hidratante e trocar as bebidas açucaradas por sucos de frutas .E sorria sempre, você é linda !!!
My mum always said wear sunscreen daily and keep makeup looking natural
less is best and never forget to moisturize
Skin care above all else! Beauty is not how you look,its how you feel!
Keep it simple stupid, and work with what you’ve got! Don’t try and dress up to hide your flaws, make the most of your best features 🙂
“Get some of that black mascara off your face – I love you but you look trashy!”
My mum always told me that I need to be happy in order to stay beautiful! She said “happiness makes people keep beautiful. That’s essential! plus, don’t get stressed out, drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Even if you have silver and gold to put on your skin, tiredness and puffy eyes still can be noticed! Real beauty comes from your mind.” 🙂
love you mum!!! xx
BEAUTY is power; but the best MAKEUP any woman can wear is a SMILE. And, the best ACCESSORY a woman can own is CONFIDENCE; it brings out the GODDESS, and makes any woman SHINE from within!
Moisturise daily from your teenaged years to keep your skin looking and feeling great and younger!
“Imagine…Believe…and Breath beauty and it will be yours”
Smile is the best beauty product you can put on
I’m the only girl of six kids so I was always abit of a tom boy untill I had a girl myself but the best tip my mum gave me was beuty dosent come from a face covered in makeup a lil lippy is l a girl needs
My mother always told me that ‘Beauty is when you radiate happiness’ and so you should always wear makeup that makes you feel happy, confident and beautiful because you will radiate it outwards as well, and it will change your perceptive on everything.
The best beauty advice my Mum gave me is to be sun smart and protect my skin by wearing a broad spectrum moisturizer or sunscreen, hat and covering up at the beach!
A little goes a long way. Spray the air and walk into the perfume. It may smell nice out of the bottle but it maygive off a different scent once it hits your skin. So always try before you buy. Bless her socks xx
My mum always tells me not to frown and always moisturise everywhere
Moisturise day and night.
My Mum taught me to use lemons for their bleaching effect – for the dark skin on your elbows, on freckles and sunspots on your face, – add lemon in your hair and the sun will give you that bleached sunkissed look.
Turn that frown upside down,or you’ll get lines before your time.
Don’t ever work, get married and don’t have children – all age you unnecessarily! — Mum was right 😥
Always wear a good moisturize. My mum doesn’t look a day over 30 she is in her 50. I hope i look that good at her age She looks so young. :))
Mum has always taught me that by drinking plenty of water each day, it makes your skin glow radiantly, from the inside out! My Mum; the beauty Visionary!
Watch out or the mirror might crack…
at 10 years old “stop putting that stuff on your face, you’ll ruin your skin”-
naturally i didnt listen and of course knew nothing of properly removing and ended up with prematurely clogged pores.
Its taken years to get myself back on track with a proper cleansing regime and expertise, however i wish id waited a little longer to start experimenting. hate to say it but she was right 😛
Always take your makeup off before you go to bed!
My mum always told me to remove makeup every night and moisturise you will always wake up feeling beautiful. Oh and ring your mum everyday xxx
Always always wear sunscreen and feel beautiful on the inside just as you are.
My mum says “why spend all your money on those expensive products, all you need is a bath and soap”
Run like there’s someone chasing you, eat like it’s your last and smile, just smile.
Mum always said “dont Smoke or you will get wrinkles” she was right,..
Confidence is the key. If you feel beautiful inside and you are happy your skin glows. This is probably why pregnant women glow.
My mum always told me if I want to keep wrinkles at bay invest in a great toner, eye cream and moisturiser with spf
Green toned concealer for red blemishes and salmon toned concealer for dark under-eye circles!
My mum always said ” always wash your face before go to bed and apply rose water for glowing the skin”
My mum has beautiful skin. She uses Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner and it helped me in my teenage years with my oily and pimple prone skin
Mum’s advice was that if you are a good person who has poise, refinement, empathy and charity, others will recognise the inner beauty you possess – particularly if you treat all organic beings (humans, animals and plants) with respect and dignity.
you dont need a tonne of makeup to look good, real people love your inside not your out.
My mum is nuts. Some of her advice: smearing honey on cold-sores, rubbing acne with a fresh cut potato, mashed banana face-mask, exfoliating with sugar… if she was coming at me with food I wasn’t sure if I’d be eating or wearing it.
My Mum always said don’t pick your face you’ll make the pimple look worse. She also insisted on sunblock and a hat when we played outside as kids and then as I grew into an adult, she said uttered those same words of advice. So did my Dad!
Always take your makeup off and apply skincare to nourish your skin and drink lots of water. Moisturise and factor 15 for day
My mum who is 56 and looks like she is 35 have these beauty regime:
face- sunscreen, lipgloss and big smile
body- healthy eating and plenty of water
mind- be confident, hold your head high and be positive
works for her 🙂
To throw away make-up and skincare once it’s past it’s use by date as the ingredients are no longer active. I think everyone’s guilty of not doing this but it really does make a difference! She also told me to smile more often because it’s like an instant face-lift and will take years off your face!!
Always use moisturiser and sunscreen on the back of your hands as they will show your age otherwise
best beauty tip….water, fruit n veg, swim, walk, run…
It wasn’t what she said, but what she did. She took me shopping for all the skin care products when I was 13, and taught be how to use them.
Drink plenty of water
youth is achieved by keeping your eyebrows wide
Having a great attitude acts like a magnet: it attracts great and interesting people!
My mother taught me not to squeeze pimples instead steam face and put a hot face cloth on it to bring it to a head and then apply toothpaste to dry it out.
My Nan says no matter what your budget, always apply a moisturising cream morning & night, at 90 her skin is smooth, soft & shiny.
My mum always told me no matter what time u get home always remove your make up and go to bed with a clean fresh face
Be yourself and embrace who you are. Never feel inadiquate or compare yourself to others as we are all beautiful, special and equal.
My Mum and Nana always said half do things, do it right and also treat others the way I’d like to be treated.
My mum always says “less is more”, as a teen I thought she was crackers but now in my late 20’s I do agree and will teach my daughters the same.
My nan (adopted mother) taught me it’s not only what you put on but in your body that gives you good skin. Plenty of water and 85% diet of fresh foods – vegies/fruit. She has used Oil of Ulan for 78 years and at 91 looks more like 65. I love you nan ❤
mum taught me less is always better, keep things simple, ans i grew up with that, i have never been one for over done make-up and now that i am 40 i get mistaken for a 20 year old all the time, so she taught me to look after my skin very well, and i owe her all that credit, and hopefully i am passing down the same wisdom to my own teenage daughter
Soap is not face wash!
take your make up off every night before bed and make sour you use a good moisturiser after washing your face
Wash your face with cold water in the morning
Mum taught me to be happy with life. Happiness shows through and always makes you look radiant.

My Mum told me never to trust someone who says Trust Me…she was always SO right.
Mum taught me “never overpluck your eyebrows, you’ll look like Betty Davis.” I never understood until I had to draw in my eyebrows every day.
The best beauty advice mum always gives me (repeatedly!) is to sit up straight!
“Beauty comes from within”, is the best beauty advice my dear old ma gave me.
Mum’s advice has allowed me a lifetime of guilt free big spending – “don’t pay for cheap, you end up paying twice”.
my mum has always told me I should wash my face every night and use moisturiser every morning I am 34 now and look 24 love you mum
The best beauty advice my mum gave me was to smile, because it doesn’t matter how flawless you are, if you look grumpy you don’t look beautiful. Beauty has to come from within, when you smile your whole face lights up and everybody is drawn to you 🙂
Always take your makeup off at night and don’t smoke
A tip from my mum and my grandma, never leave the house without your rouge on, it doesnt take much to look a million bucks
Laugh and live,
Respect and give,
Cook and eat healthy rather than take away,
Your skin will thank you one day,
Apply sunscreen moisturiser every day,
It helps the skin in every way,
At 57 she simply looks divine,
And that is great sign
Smile more than you frown and buy the best moisturizer you can afford.
Mum was raised in a third world country with limited choice,
Her skin is flawless, so without thinking twice I have always listened to her convincing voice,
Lather in “oats” day and night,
Affordable and effective which epitomises pure delight!
Never an reaction or itch!
Fill oats in a stocking and lather from head to toe I will continue to pitch!
Idyllic for sensitive skin,
From babies to elderly this advice is a “WIN WIN”!!!
Clean skin and clean clothes and a genuine smile – that’s all you ever need to be beautiful.
Love and look after the skin your in cause its the only one you’ll have.
“Don’t use eyeliner on your bottom lids or your eyes will look like piss-holes in the snow.” Never one to mince words, my mum 🙂
Best advice she gave me was – SMILE, it does a much better job than any eye shadow, liner and mascara at making your eyes sparkle!
Always hydrate from the inside out, and any time you leave the house, sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen – your 40 year old self will thank you.
Less is more : – )
Mum’s mixed heritage included African and Spanish. She learned cooking traditions and the use of wonderful herbs and condiments from her grandparents. Later in life, she realized that some of those herbs consumed regularly and generously, could help you stay young and beautiful for years. So every time she made a stew, a soup or almost any other dish for us girls, she added things like coconut oil, dandelion, fennel or basil. Other great foods she used that are great for your skin and hair include tomatoes, safflower oil, carrots, spinach, aloe and sweet potatoes.
