Star tips
In the eyes of Kim and Aggie you can never be too clean. With that in mind we've pulled together a selection of their top star tips to help you smell as fresh as a daisy and squeaky clean!
1 Sea salt and olive oil makes a wonderful body scrub for the shower. It's a natural body scrub and cleansing exfoliant.
2   Once a day, take off your jewellery when you wash your hands. Millions of germs hide under rings, bracelets and watches.
3   You can't beat witch hazel for toning skin. Pat it on with a cotton wool ball. It has antiseptic properties so even if skin is spotty it's safe to use.
4   If you nick yourself shaving, don't put tissue on the cut. When you pull it off the cut it will start bleeding again. Instead, put a small blob of shaving cream on it which absorbs into the skin.
5   For puffy eyes in the morning, pat haemorrhoid cream under the eye. It shrinks the skin and the puffiness disappears.
6   To freshen up leather shoes, dab tea tree oil on cotton wool and wipe around the inside of the shoes. Leave to dry
7   If you nails have a slight yellow stain from using dark-coloured varnish, soak your fingers or toes in a bowl of warm water with lemon and lime slices, and the stains will disappear.
8   Washing socks at 60ºC with detergent will kill off the fungus that causes athlete's foot.
9   Hang stinky socks out of the window. UV rays kill off many bacteria
