Beauty Tips for Men

October 31, 2007

Mr. Miss 2

MR. Miss will be in November 9 during lunch. Its two dollars each, for two girls to dress up one guy. You will all meet before lunch and begin to beautify your men. Here are some tips for you men:

v Acne If you suffer from acne or spots of any kind, the first thing you should know is, you should not touch them because if you think acne is bad touching them will be even harder to treat. The reason for this is that it can cause more acne. You can also cause scarring from rubbing your face, which can remain for a long time. However if you want to reduce the outbreak of acne you should avoid using certain products that contain grain like of any sort. For instance cereal and bread.

v Help If you suffer from acne these are some good products you should use Proactive, Neutrogena, L’Oreal and Elizabeth Arden. Those work wonders. Follow up these facial products with a healthy diet full of vegetables, fruits and lots of water.

v How to beat acne Before applying you medication rub ice on you face for a few minutes. This works before because it cools down the skin and prepares the skin for the treatment.

Joke o’ the Day

An out-of-towner accidentally drives his car into a deep ditch on the side of a country road.

Luckily a farmer happened by with his big old horse named Benny.

The man asked for help and the farmer said Benny could pull his car out.

So he backed Benny up and hitched him to the man’s car bumper. Then he yelled:  

Pull, Nellie,
pull!

Benny didn’t move. Then he yelled” 

Come on,
Pull Ranger!

Still, Benny didn’t move. Then he yelled really loud: 

Now pull, Fred….
pull hard!

Benny just stood there. Then the farmer nonchalantly said:

Ok, Benny…
now pull.

Benny pulled the car out of the ditch.
The man was very appreciative but curious. He asked the farmer:

The Man: Thank you so much, but why did you call your house the wrong name three times?

Farmer: Oh old Benny here is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try.
