With the holidays here, it’s easy to let things slip through the cracks like forgetting to pick up makeup remover or iron your shirt before a family dinner party. Don’t panic! We’ve collected eight Beauty Secrets using household items. You’ll be wondering how you didn’t know these before! Whether it be an at home girls’ night or you’re out of your must-have beauty product we have the solution for you.
1. Out of makeup remover?
No worries! Vaseline actually works AMAZINGLY! Just apply generously to your eye makeup and wipe off with a dry tissue. It works as an eyelash conditioner as well. BONUS: works to moisturize lips too!
2. Out of dry shampoo?
Baby powder is a great substitute for this but that’s not all! Waiting to get highlights and have roots growing in? This will actually temporarily lighten your roots as well help disguise them!
3. Out of lotion?
Baby oil at the end of your shower, followed with a light rinse, will help condition your skin without needing to apply lotion afterwards. What a time saver!
4. Out of eyebrow gel?
If you still have the brush you can spray hairspray onto it and comb through your brow to hold the shape. If you don't have the brush, you can still apply it with your fingertips.
5. Out of shampoo?
OK I swear I’m not crazy with this one. I actually got this tip from my hairdresser! Dish soap works to wash your hair even better than some shampoos because of the “grease fighting” component. After washing with this I usually can go an extra day without washing my hair.
6. Deep skin treatment needed?
Avocado mixed with honey will deep condition and clean your skin! Get ready to say hello to a renewed fresh face. You’ll look well rested in just ten minutes.
7. Don’t have time to iron your clothes?
A hair straightener will actually work just as well and won’t ruin the fabric. If you don't have a hair straighter just toss them in the dryer for 10 minutes!
8. In need of an exfoliating scrub?
Whether your lips are chapped and you need to shed some dead skin or you want super smooth legs Coffee grinds are actually the perfect at home solution. Just scrub your legs with coffee grind to exfoliate dead skin, rinse off, shave, and finish off with a moisturizing lotion.
9. Ran out of shaving cream?
Coconut oil has MANY beauty uses, this is one of my favorites! You can also use it to deep condition your hair during your shower, or to “oil wash” whiten your teeth… in fact you can do all three at the same time.
10. Interested in trying a skin toner?
Apple Cider Vinegar works as a purifying agent and levels the tone of your skin. It’s a perfect prep at the beginning of your day or before bed. You can also use apple cider vinegar as an immune booster if you’re starting to feel sick, just take a swig! Remember, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is better because it’s organic.
