Here are some beauty tips and tidbits from Florence Henderson's "Looking Great, Feeling Great" video from 1990.
Florence's makeup bag contains:
**Flo applies an odorless bath oil to her face before applying her makeup to make it last longer. She picked this tip up from a makeup artist on The Brady Bunch.
Flo always carries a tube of lip moisturizer and hand moisturizer. She doesn't recommend using lip pencils. Flo likes to use a lip brush instead.
Flo loves wigs, brown-black mascara and false eyelashes. Flo believes facial scrubs are too harsh for the skin. She recommends setting your makeup with men's talcum powder. Just brush it on lightly after applying your makeup. Flo says it hides wrinkles.
Florence's hands:
Florence likes to wear gloves when she drives to protect her hands. She also uses sunscreen on her hands and rubs Vaseline on her cuticles to soften them while she sleeps at night.
Florence's hair:
Flo likes to let her hair dry naturally after shampooing. She uses a paper towel to soak up excess water.
Eye tips:
For a night out with her husband, Florence wears 3-4 shades of eyeshadow. During the day she wears 1-2 shades. For thick eyelashes, Flo recommends applying a coat of mascara and letting it dry. Then apply a little pressed powder and add another coat of mascara. Repeat these steps until you reach the thickness you desire.
Things Flo learned from her mom:
**Florence forgot to add shampoo to her hair the first time she conditioned it with olive oil. She rinsed it with water and was unable to get the olive oil out of her hair for weeks.
Florence also emphasizes having a positives attitude, drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily and practicing good posture. When dressing, Florence says that women should pay attention to their shape and not their age.

Things Flo learned from her mom:
- Rinse your hair with vinegar (or lemon juice) after shampooing to help keep it healthy.
- Once a month condition your hair with olive oil.**
- Apply aloe from an aloe plant to skin to fade spots. Flo uses aloe on her hands.
- Never wash your face with soap. Florence's mother had beautiful skin at age 88 and felt unrinsed soap left on the skin caused wrinkles.
