Hair Detangler

For your child or bed-bound senior at home or in nursing home: Untangle massively matted hair by dusting it liberally with baby powder and massage into hair. Separate hair into sections and brush hair working from root to tips. Afterwards wash and condition hair and style as you like.

SCOTT Paper Towels for Hair

I have curly hair and will use SCOTT paper towels to gently squeeze out (don't rub) the excess water from my hair after my shower. The paper towels soak up the excess water without separating the curls and making my hair frizzy!

Toothbrush Cleaner

To keep our toothbrushes clean and fresh I put a cup of peroxide on the counter and soak them overnight. I also use a capful and rinse my mouth--do NOT swallow. Since doing this I have not had any sores in my mouth.

Looking Younger!!

Do you have bags under your eyes and puffiness above your eye lids? Give this a try, and I guarantee it will make you look younger. I use Preparation H ointment or cream (the cream seems to work better for me) under my eyes and under my eyebrows. I rub it in as much as possible, being careful not to get any in my eyes, and let it sit for a while. When you wipe it off, you will see the difference. The bags shrink and the puffiness goes down, and it takes very little to accomplish that younger look. I know it works for me!!

Health and Beauty Box

I always kept a baby wipe box in my desk at work. In it I placed trial-sized aspirin, antihistamine pills, mouthwash, travel toothbrush, deodorant, a roll of antacids, lip balm, bandages, anti-diarrhea pills and a mini sewing kit. It was a life saver many times over!

Heat Treatments at Hand

Crockpots are great for heating facial towels, or for hot oil treatments for your hair. I keep one just for that purpose, roll a few towels and place them in it when I take time for those things.

Eyebrow Plucking

You know when you have to pluck your bushy eyebrows and it hurts a great deal? Well I found the solution: with a small piece of SCOTT Towel (small enough to fit on your fingertips) dab a little bit of Baby Ora-Gel all along your eyebrows. Be careful not to touch your eyes, let it work for about 30 seconds and then begin to pluck away. You WILL NOT FEEL THE PAIN, I GUARANTEE IT! Keep a small SCOTT Towel underneath so your eyebrows do not mess up your sink or countertop.

Hand Softener

Mix equal amounts of petroleum jelly and any regular lotion in your palm, apply it on dry and rough spots, and you will have super-soft skin. This saves you lots of money by not buying expensive hand or foot cream.
