I've had two different procedures to have my acne scars removed, and neither worked. After a lifetime of experimenting with make-up, I've come to realize that the best approach is pretty make-up. In other words, sheer foundation, serious concealer, bright, youthful cheek color and a big, shiny pink mouth. I wear my hair in a simple, always-well-groomed style.

In other words, my facial scars are scary enough - I don't need to be goth or pierced or tattooed.

My visual message is one of bright, clean, happy self-acceptance.

TYra! First of all, i love you! Ok so here are my beauty secrets...

1) To keep curly hair frizz free, use a papertowel and squeeze your hair with it. It works!

2) To moisterize skin, apply your lotion within 3 minutes of stepping out of the shower. It will absorb better.

3) To make your hair nice and silky, leave your conditioner in for atleast 5 minutes.

4) For a close shave, put your razor under some hot water before you shave. YOu`ll get a closer cut!

5) Vaseline is your bff! You can use it to remove makeup, slather it on your feet and throw some socks over them for extra soft feet, or even put it on your lips instead of lipgloss.

6)Dont put too many products in your hair, it will weight it down.

7) Blow dry your hair upside down for volume!

8) Or dont blow dry it at all for a natural frizz-free look.

9) Put your hair up at night. The oils in your hair will clog the pores on your face!

10) Wash your face ladies! twice a day ;)

11) Once a month mash up an advocado and slather it on hair after shampooing. Rinse it out in half and hour, and you`ll have silky bouncy hair!

12) To prevent sweaty armpits, apply deoderant at night, take a shower in the mornin,g and than apply it again. This will clog your pores in the armpit so sweat cant come out.

13) You stink? Try changing detergants. I swear some make you smell worse when you sweat.

14) Wash your makeup off everynight! No matter what!

15) Drink plenty of water for fresh, glowing skin.

16) Take time to massage oils and lotions in your skin, it will start up that circulation!!

17) SUnscreen everyday. Try makeup with a SPF in it!

18) For natural highlights ( for blondes) just put some lemon juice in your hair and sit out in the sun for an hour. But dont get any on your skalp.

19) If you have to use any irons ( curling ,straightening) than make sure you put on a heat protecting product first!

20) If your applying more than one coat of mascara, dont let the first one dry before you put on the second!

Sorry for such a long post ! ANyways, I hope these tips help you ladies.

Dear Tyra,
I have a stretch mark on my legs since i was 15 years old. I am 22 now.I tried so many product to get ride of my stretch marks but not working. because of my ugly stretch marks i can not wear shorts or be comfortable wearing swiming suits. Please help how can i remove it. thanks

hey Tyra,

I am 12 years old and I love exparamenting with makeup, but I dont like spending a lot of money on it. So I came up with a tip for eyeliner. Instead of using eyeliner you can get a thin-tip brush (I use a paint brush) and you wet it a little and spin it around in eye shadow and put it on. It's quick, easy, and it works!

Hi Tyra,
I was reading your post about rough hands/skin. I have a tip for you if you haven't already tried it! Every other day exfoliate your hands, immediatly put a moiturizer on (something without glycerin, and actual moisturizer)Wrap your hands in saran wrap, and put some mitts on. Keep it on for as long as you can. Do that for the first month and then once a week after that. A good cream to use is Gehwol. It's meant for the feet, but it works!

This tip has been one of my favs for the past two years now. Instead of spending money on expensive makeup remover for waterproof makeup, I simply take a warm cotton washcloth and squeeze a dime-sized amount of Johnson and Johnson's Baby Wash on it to create a nice lather. The formula is so gentle that it doesn't burn the eyes when wiping off mascara/shadow/liner and it's great for people with sensitive skin who don't like the oily stuff in the regular makeup remover formulas. Oh yeah, the skin is also very soft to the touch afterward. Hope this helps someone out there!!! :-)

Tyra,
Wow I watch your show every night and i enjoy the topics you have. But ok we all know that you are the princess of cheap. Well I have advice to prevent break outs. When i get a pimple i go buy soap with no fragrance and wash my face with soap and water...or I'll just go buy some stridex pads which work also! But hey you can get these products at wal-mart...the best store on the planet!

I have 2:

To get rid of sudden break outs, take two bowls, one with warm water, and one with cold. First place your face into the warm water to open your pores, and then then immeditly put your face in the cold water. Dry your face, and use your usually acne or face wash.

Also, for plumper lips, all you need to do is take an icecube a rub it on your lips as if you were applying chap stick or something.

Tyra this is krystal and i am 12. My biggest problem is my hair! My mom is white and my dad is black so i'm kinda mixd,so i hav mixd hair. M =y hair used 2 b nice and beautiful, long, curly/sraight. But a few yrs ago my neighbor braided my hair and put TONS of gel hairspray and VASELINE in my hair when she did it! And it was so bad that when i went 2 the beauty shop 2 get it taken out (my mom,neighbor, and i couldn't) they took hours! I was there almost all night. Now my hair has MANY split ends, I can NEVER brush it. It takes me 20 minutes or more 2 get all of the tangles out. My hair is the most frizzy and puffy hair that u would ever see. O yeah... and my grandma (on my mom's side) put a kid's relaxer on my hair. It was fine for a long time but then it just COMPLETELY Ruined my hair. But don't get me wrong... I am not saying i absolutely hate my hair, I just wish it could b a little nicer sometimes. My mom wants to get it professionally braided, but we don't hav the money, AT ALL!!! I guess i would like my hair braided, but not entirely because i would like to where it down or up or however i like it. I hav the maxiglide hair straightener...only because my grandma got it 4 me, but as soon as i get my hair wet it just gets back to it's normal ways.

Tyra please help me!
ps. i luv ur show
pps. i luv u 2 because u do so much for every1.u r my role model,my #1 favorite person, and i wish i was everything u were!

hi im only 17yrs old and have had stupid stretch marks since i was 14 you wouldnt happen to know the secret to getting rid of them? or a way to cover them up?

Hey Tyra! I have a couple of problems.

I'm 16 and I have really bad dark circles... I keep looking for things to try but the reviews say they don't work. I'd prefer home remedies but at this moment I'd take anything. They make me feel bad about my self sometimes, and I defenitly don't have the confidence I used to prior to them. They make me look so tired and like someone punched me or haven't slept in days. Now I admitt I don't have the healthiest sleeping style, but I'm working on that. But I NEED something that I can actually do to atleast make them better then they are now. So please if you know or anyone know anything please please please let me know! Anything! I hate them so much, and I don't even like to do anything because they embarres me. So please help me! Now I can't see your show because I'm at school, but if you can see my email address please email me or something. Thank You so much!

My second problem is acne! Now I know most people go through it, but again I lost alot of confidence because of it. I try alot of things, but nothing has really worked, again I prefer home remedies and natural stuff, but anything at all will help. I started to use some neutragina products but somehow I feel like right after I wash my face it seems better but after a bit it gets worse actually. Now maybe it's because I use 4 neutragina products right after another at the same time. Is that good? Or should I stick to one at a time? I felt like I needed to use 4 because they all do different things. I use the cleanser, the one for shine, the one for blackheads and one with cucumber and tea to help prevent them. Now to be honest the shine is still there. So I feel like nothing has worked. But is it because like it's supposed to get worse before it starts getting better? So I guess in the end I was just wondering if you knew anything that could help!

The last thing is my hair. I use herbel essence for the curls/waves. But somehow it's not working as well as it used to. I have wavy/curlyiesh hair, and usually I straighten it 'cause my hair looks bad when it's natural... but I"m tired of straightening it and infact I love my curly/wavy hair I just don't love the way it looks at times. My problem is I can't find the right shampoo/conditioner to suit my problems. I want one that doesn't make my hair dry and gives it more moisture also one that doesn't make it rough since I have a hard time combing it. Since it gets tangled. Also styling products I've tried useing lots of mouse's and stuff on my hair but nothing works. So do you know any good styling products for wavy/curly hair? One that controls frizz and makes pretty waves etc... Also again I prefer to keep it natural,I don't want to use too much chemicals on my hair. So aside from needing good shampoo and conditioner that does what I stated above, I also need good styling products that control frizz and keep my hair soft etc, but not with too many chemicals.

Sorry my post was so long. These 3 things are some of the biggest problems I'm faceing beauty wise. And any tips at all or products you recomeend or seriuosly ANYTHING at all will help! Again I can't wait your show, but if you could email me that's be great! Please! Thanks so much!!!!!! Sorry again with my long post. But anything can go a long way! So any tricks/tips/products/recomendations at all would help me out so much! I want to be confident again!

Thank You so much Tyra!!!! =)

Hello all you women out there I know you all dread getting stretch marks when you are pregnant well i have 2 children and I am 25 years old. I am a very small slender person but I used Bio Silk hair oil it really works!! I came out only having 4 very small stretch marks...Everyone should try it. Martha

dear tyra,
my beauty 911 is that i have sweaty hands and i dont now what to do about it. do u have any tips.

ps. you are my favorite supermodel ever. Thanks.

hey tyra!!first of all i want 2 say that i love your show!!!! i have a question i have these pimples on my back and i was wondering how to get rid of them......please help!

My family uses a lot of vicks it can cure athlets foot,dry finger tip, your common cold,burns,its kind has cures to endless problems

bad breath cure use cinnamon mouthwash, gum, and mints

use tea tree oil! it helps with cuts wounds, blemishes and canker sores. also if you have a cut then you could put honey on it and it cleans the wound and keeps dirt out.
also if you have a stain like a food stain on your clothes, put baby powder ontop of it and leave it there for a bit (cover it entirely) and then when you fluff the power off the stain should go too. I think this works well for food that has more oil. for other food rubbing salt in the stain works well too.

Dear Tyra,

My beauty secret is Witch Hazel (cue halloween music) Witch Hazel works great as an astringent.

Also, try soaking rought skin in sea salt.

hey tyra..im 15 and i think that you are very beautiful.One tip that i have for beauty{{my best friend father told us}}that if u smear baby powder on your pimples at night to dry out them.Then in the morning,when you go to wash your face,it should be smooth and oil-free.

Rough, dry hands and feet? I was a flight attendant and nothing dries your skin out more than being at a high altitude all day, everyday. There's no baby oil up there and not a lot of hand lotion either. Take a modest amount of sugar and saturate it with lime juice. scrub your hands/feet with it for one minute and wash it off with water. You'll be amazed. It works really well as a body scrub too.

Hey Tyra, I really enjoy watching your show and the beauty tips that you share are great! I had always wanted to share this beauty tip with your viewers but I thought that it was a little too silly. Anyway, here it is... You know whenever customers go to the grocery stores,Wal-mart,or perhaps the local drug stores they would bag all the merchandise in a plastic hand held bag.Instead of the customers tossing the the bag into the garbage they should keep it. The secret is that these bags make wonderful deep conditioning plastic caps for all types of hair! All the viewer has to do is apply the deep conditioner to thier hair and then open up the bag and place it over their hair, then take the handles and tie them together closely and tightly. Preheat their hooded dryer and sit under it for the alotted conditioning time. So... there you have it! No more purchasing those expensive plastic caps when you can get one free from your purchases! Remember on one of your shows you demonstrated to the viewers how to stuff these plastic bags inside of an empty paper towel roller for dog poop.Now here is another bright idea that can serve a different purpose for the roller and the bags! Lol!!!

My feet get really dry so do my hands so for my feet once a week i cover them in vasaline and put plastic bags over them then some socks and leave them on for four hours and they look amazing and feel amazing. They when ever im cleaning or doing dishes i cover my hands and then put on gloves. It is amazing!!

This is for people with dry and flaky type skin. You take some kind of hard salt like rock salt and and mineral oil to it and if you want you can add some kind of oil to add scent to the mixture. When you are in the shower use is after washing your skin rub it in really good. Then wash it off. It makes your skin feel amazing.

Hi Tyra! All I have to say is...Windex. Yes, that's right...windex. It works for anything. After seeing that movie, My big fat greek wedding, I tried windex on my pimples and they dissapeared!! I was surprised! Who would of thought.
