Feeling Flaky?

Are you saying: “My dandruff returns within a day of washing it with an anti-dandruff shampoo.” (Actually you are probably saying this: “Aaaaaaargh!”) Whatever, try this…

We all know how the fairytale ends. The radiant princess captures the prince’s heart, and they glide off into the sunset together to live happily ever after. There’s nothing in there about appearing day in, day out looking just as glowing and dewy as the romantically misted day they first met, through endless hospital openings, State banquets and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. In fact, an everyday fairytale princess needs an everyday magic wand, which is just what celebrated Danish hair-and make-up artist Søren Hedegaard waves for Crown Princess Mary of Denmark whenever she needs it.

“Natural” is the buzzword in the beauty biz these days. Cosmetic labels brandish the products' natural ingredients in bold face type, but the list of ingredients often tells a different story.

Take control of your own beauty regimen with these natural indulgences. Preparing your own beauty treatments and pampering packages is an affordable alternative to your favorite store-bought brands. And, since many of these recipes contain only ingredients found in most kitchen cupboards, they’re perfect for those times when you have an unexpected fifteen minutes to yourself.
