Ever been curious what teen age girls from other countries besides the United States do to make themselves look and feel beautiful? A lot of their beauty secrets are handed down from grandmother to their daughters who will then hand it down to their daughters. You may get beauty tips and secrets that are hundreds of years old.

These beauty tips have been updated for today’s young ladies. In Italy teens are instructed by the older women their lives to keep their
eyelashes from breaking, they apply castor oil to them at night before
bedtime.

In China the young ladies there take one teaspoon of rosemary oil and mix
it in a cup of green tea. They then pour that over their heads as a
final rinse to make sure their hair really shines.
In Egypt to help keep their teeth white and beautiful, the young ladies
there take a combination of baking soda and coarse salt were it is
then applied with their fingers on to their teeth and left sit for a minute.

In Japan seaweed is the biggest beauty secret to be found there.
It’s sold in supermarkets and it is prized for its cleansing and
toning and its ability to make skin glow. Teens there use it on their
bodies for cellulite and on their faces as masks as well as it eat in
their salads to help their hair grow.
Did you know that in ancient Japan teens blackened their teeth as a status
of beauty? It’s a good thing that its not something that is done
now as their wasn’t very good for their teeth.

In Australia young ladies there love to walk barefoot and wear
toe-revealing sandals. To achieve flawless feet they rub avocado
skins all over their rough spots and they love to wear bright toe nail
polishes.

In Poland honey is their biggest beauty secret for women of all ages.
Teenage girl moms will warm the honey for their daughters who will
then apply it all over faces as a super moist facial treatment. Young
ladies are well known to use honey as a lip-softening treatment as
well. What a way to make your lips kissable soft!

In Spain, sometimes when the young ladies party too much they might find
that they have dark circles under their eyes to show for it. A
common problem all over the world it seems. To fix the fact that they
had too much fun the night before Spanish teens will take a
potato and cut it very thinly. They will then apply to their eyes for ten
minutes to allow the juice to seep into the darkness and draw it out.

The best beauty advise that could be offered for teenage ladies from
different heritages and different cultures is to ask your mom what
were her beauty secrets when she was growing up and what does she
do now to stay as beautiful as she was as a teen. Her beauty
secrets might as well be just using products you can find in your
kitchen.
