Is there any product you absolutely must have and use daily to feel like you?

I use vitamin C ester serum the enzymatic beauty treatment forula by serious skin care. It smooths out my complexion, eliminates imperfections in skin tone and makes me glow. It gets rid of summer freckling and spotting really fast. Makes me feel flawless.

I need a deep color lipstick too. I like reds, prefer berry tones or plums and draw with a pencil to pout my lips out a bit.

I never wear black nail polish anymore because my fingers are long and slender and I think it makes me look like a crone by accentuating that.

What about you?? What do you rely on? What would you never wear?

I use a handmade facial wash from LUSH, called Aqua Marina twice a day. It's a seaweed type wash. One of my top two favorite products.

The other of my top two favorite products that I use everyday, is a face serum called Natures Aid. It's only ingredients are Aloe, Witch Hazel, Tea Tree, Vitamin E & Rosemary.

The third product that I use every single day is Witch Hazel with Aloe as toner.

Another amazing product that I frequently use (few times a week) is this facial clay. It is really good for clarifying your skin and removing excess oil, shrinking pores. It draws all the unwanted toxins out to the surface, it works so well and leaves your face feeling so soft.

All great products!!! I basically live at LUSH, by Bill makes me feel like I might fight the bunnies for a coupon!

Raw milk and honey for your skin it makes it so soft. Eat a teaspoon of honey a day will keep you looking young. Drink fenugreek , hibiscus tea are great for you. 7 dates and milk in the morning on an empty stomach clean out stuff in the body. Also try to have a lot of extra virgin olive oil. It's also good to take senna leaves once a year. Be careful taking senna you will be in bed and the washroom for a few days. One of my best girlfriends used African black soap and her skin was flawless. I used aleppo soap it's amazing. Most imperfections on your skin can be cured with food.

Heat up Curry leaves + olive oil - for hair. I apply the oil for a whole day sometimes, depends..

I don't use any creams or chemical stuff or make up stuff ..other than soap and moisturizer :p ..sometimes, thanks to my climate, i don't require even moisturizing..

And...WATER. Water is the solution for everything. ?

Good sleep. Being physically active all day, apart from physical exercise.

I would recommend you thin hair oil concoction( I started roughly 2 months ago and noticed difference after 3 weeks):

~3 tablespoon-Extra virgin coconut oil

~1 tablespoon-black castor oil

~3/4 tablespoon -emu oil

0.5 tablespoon-whole onion seed (Also called nigella sativa. Bought cheaply from indian grocery store. But its same as this: http://www.amazon.com/Spicy-World-Ka.../dp/B000JMDHE0)

0.5 tablespoon- whole fenugreek seed (also bought from indina grocery store, but sth like this: http://www.amazon.com/Spicy-World-M....ords=fenugreek)

As for the actual health of the hair, a diet rich in protein is good. For this, have raw nuts, almonds are particularly good, and protein-rich meats. Also, dietary supplements such as flax seed oil and fish oil are good for skin and hair.

As for actual hair style it's best if you leave it short http://newaylook.com/best-short-hair style s-for-women-over-40/ if you want it to look thicker!
