give the 14 year old you one piece of beauty advice what would it be ?

Mine would be - always use a moisturiser with a SPF.

Told this little gem to my DD at the weekend and I thought there's got to be some other ones I'm missing and thought "I know who to ask".... over to you now S and B Ladies Smile

Get your colours done ( black doesn't suit you and it doesn't make you look slim either )

Accept that you have wavy frizzy hair, huge boobs and find ways to work with them

Oh, and as a former brunette ( now blonde due to having grey hair), its true, blondes DO have more fun...!

Oh and one more... Don't worry that you don't go brown, stay out of the sun and when u r 47, you'll look ten years younger than all those bronzed sun worshippers!!

Use antibiotics like Minocin to get rid of acne rather than faffing about with different creams and health tips forever. Just go to the doctor and get him prescribe it. Don't just wait for acne to fade away in time...

Yes, sunlight helps with zits but do make sure you use a water-based suncream if you want to avoid lobster looks.

Pick clothes that match your colouring, in my case sort of stone coloured, khaki stuff, not blues or reds.

Don't die your hair black and watch out, grandma becomes a bit of a feeder when she retires.
