These 7 beauty hacks will have your skin and hair feeling fresh and ready for the summer!
1. Coconut oil
This stuff works for EVERYTHING. Dry hair? Coconut oil overnight. Dry Skin? Coconut oil. Makeup remover? Coconut oil. Out of shaving cream? You guessed it, coconut oil.
2. The key to teeth whitening is in your kitchen
I get asked ALL the time how I keep my teeth so white. I do not use white strips or that weird black charcoal crap. The secret to white teeth is baking soda. Mix a decent amount with your toothpaste and brush your teeth. Do this three times a week and you will be amazed how white your teeth are, and for less than $2.
3. Dry shampoo is literally the best invention since sliced bread
Plus, who doesn't love a product that helps you sleep in longer?!
4. A good primer will change your life.
I am a firm believer that the foundation of a great makeup bag is based off three staple items: a good mascara, foundation, and primer. Primer shrinks your pores and gives your foundation something to bond with. It helps your skin glow and makes your makeup last all day. I use ELF glow primer ($5 at drugstores) and it works great.
5. Moisturizer is the key to keeping wrinkles away.
Doesn't matter what brand you use, Retinol or not (but if given the choice, I always pick Retinol), moisturize your skin! Keeping your skin moisturized helps prevent the onset of wrinkles and aging - and my momma is proof of that! I use a moisturizer in the morning and before bed!
6. Rose water
This is a product that is rapidly gaining popularity. It is a spray moisturizer full of vitamins and minerals for your skin. It is super gentle, so it is a great option for women with sensitive skin. PLUS, you can spray it on your face after you apply your makeup for a "dewy" look.
7. Baby wipes!
Baby wipes are the super cheap alternative to facial cleansing cloths and work great for taking off makeup, specifically mascara. Plus, it saves you from staining every washcloth you own.
