Here are my tips for vanity... but cheaper one...practical and economical. No chemicals involve and all natural..
Body care
•Mix six-teaspoon petroleum jelly, two-teaspoon glycerin and two-teaspoon lemon juice. Apply this moisturizing lotion at least twice a week if you have dry and flaky, arms and legs
•Peel and grate a cucumber. Squeeze the juice to this, mix half-a-teaspoon glycerin and half-a-teaspoon rose water. Apply this on sunburns, leave it for some time.
•If you have cracked heels, melt paraffin wax; mix it with little mustard oil and apply on the affected area. Leave it over night. After 10 or 15 days, your heels will become smooth.
•Massage your body with a mixture of coconut oil and any of your favorite scented oils like lavender or rosemary.
•For rough palms use a mixture of glycerin and limejuice in equal proportion.
•For cracked heals, massage the foot with coconut oil and keep the foot in warm water for some time. Wipe the water off the feet and apply a mixture of hibiscus flower (gumamela) (10), Henna (1 handful) and juice of half a lemon. when dry wash it off.
•Remove scars on your hands and feet by rubbing them with lemon peel.
Eye care
•Dip wads of cotton in a chilled mixture of cucumber and potato juice. Keep this on your eyelids for 15 to 20 minutes and gently wash it off. Apply a little baby oil.
•For long eyelashes.., apply a thin coat of castor oil every night. It strengthens lashes and cools your eyes.
•Massage a few drops of coconut oil around the eyes to get rid off dark circles.
•To reduce puffiness of your eyes, grate a potato; tie in a cloth and place the cloth over your eyes for about 15 minutes.
•Add a small pinch of salt in water and wash for bright and sparkling eyes.
•Mix tomato juice and lemon juice in equal quantity and apply around the eyes. After 30 minutes wash it off with cold and hot water alternatively.
•Make a paste of sandal wood and nutmeg. Apply the paste around the eyes before sleeping and wash it off in the morning.
•Crush a cucumber and take the juice. Add a little rose water and apply around the eyes and wash it after 30 minutes.
•Place cotton wool swabs dipped in cold milk on closed eyes for removing dark circles.
Lip Care
•You can mix one-tablespoon cranberry sauce juice with two tablespoons Vaseline for a delicious home made lip balm.
•Apply the juice of lemon skin for avoiding black colour of lips
•Massage your lips with coriander leaf juice for soft and rosy lips.

Lastly, Water Therapy... Upon waking up dring 2 glassess of water before taking your snack 1 glass of water and before taking your lunch or dinner try to sip water.. and after at least you can finish 1500ml of water per day for nice and radiant skin, improve digestion and bowel movement, and nice pee.. away from from infections. THen at least try to indulge yourself in brisk walking at least 15 to 30 minutes a day or jog at least 15 minutes to improve circulation and for fat loss...
Now, see the result.. and feed me up...

some of those are really good tips, umm adam, petroleum jelly has been used on new born babies for years, protects the skin from water etc.

I wouldn't consider Vaseline/petroleum jelly all natural. And I sure wouldn't want to put it on my skin. Anything you put on your skin gets absorbed into the body. Otherwise, thanks for the good tips.
