My mum told me to drink plenty water to keep my skin clear and to use almond oil when washing my hair to make it smooth and shiny.

Always take your make-up before you dive into bed! Drink lots of water! Exercise!
Laugh at yourself and never lie!

Rosewater mixed with glycerine for lovely soft skin

to always moisturise and tone your face before bed

My mother maintained that hair didn't need washed every day as it dried it out and made it unmanageable. As a teenager, I just couldn't go a day without washing my hair but these days, I take her advice and am amazed at how many articles in magazines, etc, when telling us how to create various hairstyles, advise not to start with freshly washed hair.

Moisturise at every opportunity, face and body, hands, elbows, knees, heels. I've always done this and at nearly 60 (this year) I'm often told I have amazing skin.

I taught my daughter that to look beautiful she should eat well, sleep well, drink plenty of water, exercise moderately, have a positive attitude and smile a lot.

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase helps reduce wrinkles and makes your hair shine !

My mum taught me how to use foods as make up, so we experimented with beetroot for lips, made face masks out of egg whites, or avocado and used talc as dry shampoo.

I was always told to make sure I removed my make up every night no matter how tired I was - my skin would thank me in later years . She was right - I am in my late forties without a wrinkle or fine line in sight

I don't think my Mum ever passed on any beauty tips, she's not that kind of person. I learned about make up and beauty by experimentation! I've not got a daughter to pass things on to but when my son was young he used to enjoy joining me in a facepack before bathtime, and I seem to remember him painting his nails with me once or twice ;-)

My mum told me never ever shave your upper lip!!

Head up, shoulders back, tummy in and SMILE

My mum's advice (and she's now 83yrs old) was; recognise your 'best bits' - be it good legs, cleavage or hair and make the most of them, use a good quality moisturiser, to smile and enjoy life and let your character shine through.

My mother hated anything too obvious when using makeup. She felt subtle was best. I didn't always agree with her and in the 60s plastered on eyeliner, the darkest blue eyeshadow and mascara. However, I did follow her tip about not using soap to wash my face and neck and luckily I have been blessed with a good skin even at the age of 67. I eventually took heed and kept it simple and subtle. Just enhance what you've got was her mantra and I think that's a good tip for anyone. So, passed on were tips such as resting with cucumber on the eyelids to refresh the eyes and relieve any tiredness or swelling, use beer (for brunettes only!) for part of the rinsing process after hairwashing, apply moisturiser with as little perfume as possible, eat well, get plenty of sleep and smile.

To use sunscreen all year through x

Never go to sleep wearing make-up and always moisturise!

I always tell my daughters make up can wait until they're in their 30's...then they'll have lovely skin

My Grandmother always used moisturiser morning and night, as children we grew up with her always telling us, look after your skin, so of cause this is something I always do, also I always add a bit of vinegar when rinsing my hair, brings out the shine, another nan tip

drink green tea every day, exercise, always cleanse, tone and moisturise and don't let yourself burn in the sun!

You can wear the finest clothes ever but you have wasted your time if your hair is a mess. Concentrate first on making your hair look good, as its the first thing people notice about you. Mother told me that repeatedly.

A large spoonful of Cod Liver Oil every morning, before breakfast, cuts down on your aches and pains in later life, also gives your skin a glow, works from the inside out, works a treat for me.

My mother always told me to rinse my hair with vinegar (white) to make it shine to never go anywhere without using a spray of perfume (her favourite was Chanel No 5, and a bit of lipstick, and for the skin it was the good old Nivea cream that used to come in a blue tin and was very thick.

my mom used to collect the rain water to wash our hair when l was a child
use butter and sugar to get any dirt out of hands if been in the garden

my mother and grandmother passed on the tip to always look after your skin and drink plenty of water. They both believed that it was worth spending a little more on skin care and hair rather than be disappointed in the cheaper stuff

I have always tried to follow their examples too and will be passing these tips down the family lines as well
