One thing that I notice a lot around here is that a lot of people aren't actually asking for advice on what to do...what they really want is a PRODUCT.

Honestly, this is silly and it's the reason why the beauty industry makes such a ridiculous amount of money...how much stuff is on your shelves/in your drawers that you've given up on or hardly ever use? Usually, it's not the product that doesn't work - it's user error.

There is no magic frizz taming lotion that will keep you from looking like a poodle if your blowdrying technique needs work.

There's no magic pill you can take that will suddenly turn you into Claudia Schiffer (ouch...that shows my age...let's go with Candace Swanepoel) with long bouncy perfect pantene hair, flawless skin and hand-model nails.

There's no mask that will turn acne into porcelain doll overnight.

Please, girls. Try to get at the root of what's causing the problem instead of buying stuff and hoping that it works without you putting any effort in on your end. Otherwise all the advice in the world won't get you where you want to be in your beauty.
