OT: Beauty secrets
Any of you guys have any beauty secrets that you would never tell your real-life guy friends (or girlfriends) about but you are willing to share here?
Here are some of mine:
I pluck my eyebrows. I don't overpluck so it's obvious, but I definitely get all of the stragglers and make it look clean. I learned this from a "**** hag" who I dated whose friends gave me lots of beauty tips. I seriously think every guy should pluck. It makes a big difference.
During my goth phase, I would put baby powder on my face to make my complexion look better. I rarely do this anymore, though, but I sometimes use it in my ears to get rid of the greasy look.
I sometimes use cover-up on pimples when I break out. I call it "medicine" though, because it has salicyllic acid in it to prevent acne.
Okay, I think I've revealed enough. Who's next? biggydanz?

This is hilarious cause I had my sister pluck my eyebrows for me this morning. I'm too paranoid about going somewhere to get em done. Plus, I don't wanna have it look like they're waxed or whatever.
Someone mentioned how I had a unibrow a few years back, its one of those things that I never noticed before but since then I try to make sure it looks at least moderately neat. I hate that unibrow ****.

I keep the hair down there trimmed. The women seem to prefer that.
I cut a faint part in my right eyebrow because it keeps me satisfied instead of getting the brow piercing I've wanted but will probably get me fired from both my jobs.
Exfoliating facial scrub in the morning or before you hit the town, keeps you looking fresh and feeling good throughout.
I have thick curly hair, and use this Jewish hair cream called 'Natural'. Keeps my sh*t in check, but holds softer than gel.. Chicks love playing with my hair because of that sh*t, I swear by it. I highly recommend it if your hair is thick.
I will not leak any more of my secrets!

they make a huge difference. everyone in my family just naturally has yellow teeth. Whitener + brush 3 times a day = sparking white teeth lol

i just got that stuff and i got a hole in my retainer after like 3 or 4 uses. #$%@!!!! i have to go back to my dentist and pick up another friggin piece. for the few days i used it though, i could see a difference.

I didn't know something like that existed, what's it called?
Here's my contribution to this thread for all you manscapers:
I started using Cetaphil has a face wash and for my chest and back after noticing almost every girl I dated used it. Works great, keeps my skin mostly pimple free and VERY soft. Chicks love that ****.
Also, Neutrogena On The Spot is really good for pimples if you catch them early, usually kills them over night, but it will bleach your pillowcase if you get any on it.

If any of you guys get acne on your chest or back, the thing to get is PanOxylBar 10%. It's a benzoil peroxide bar. A dermatologist recommended it to me and it works well.
