Beauty Tips You May Have Forgotten About
I find beauty tips posts strangely harder to do than usual, which is surprising considering the nature of it. I find it difficult because let's be honest really, what tip have you not heard of before? Even the most unusual of tips have been made known to everyone so what's new really? That's why I decided to do tips that we may have forgotten about because you've probably heard of all of these before, but you're like me and forget the most handiest ones when you need them the most. I feel like these ones are all really effective tips, for when we can actually remember to do them.
Conditioner for shaving - If you ever run out of shaving cream, conditioner is your best friend. It makes your legs super smooth whilst also helping to avoid razor bumps for an easier shave. It helps to avoid razor bumps and your razor will just glide through, I just love how amazing my legs feel after.
Aloe vera - If you ever get a burn from cooking, which happens to me way too much. The best thing to avoid scarring and treating your burns as quickly as possible is aloe vera. If you haven't got access to the actual plant because your average girl doesn't have an aloe vera plant in her garden. You could always use a cream with a touch of aloe vera will help keep your skin hydrated after the burn.
Exfoliate once a week - We all know about exfoliating once a week, but some exfoliators may be too harsh for your skin which could be breaking you out. Make sure your exfoliating beads aren't like grains of sand just cutting through your skin. If you're breaking out, it's best to avoid exfoliating where you are as it could spread them or even make them worse. You could even make your own with sugar and olive oil which will give you the extra benefit of smooth skin.
Tea bags bring down inflammation put over your eyes on face - If you're feeling a bit of puffiness or dryness, instead of reaching for the 'miracle' product in a tub which is the easier option because who has the time anymore. Although, using natural alternatives can really help to give you what you're lacking. A few teabags under the eyes, or potatoes can help to bring the inflammation and puffiness down.
Brush eyebrow hairs with old mascara - If you don't have an eyebrow spooly you could always opt for an old mascara wand to keep your browse looking pitch perfect without much preparation. Of course you can wash it first so it doesn't have any mascara bits on it. I always find that just doing this makes my brows already look a bit better without needing to do any added extras for those days where i'm only popping into town.
Make nail varnish last longer - My nail varnish seems to look nicely done only when i'm applying it. Once i've finished, it's only a matter of time before they get smudged or chipped, story of my life. I found running them under cold water or just soaking them in a sink of cold water really helps to keep them looking better for longer. It might help to do the after-painted-nails thing where you do the dinosaur hands while trying to grab things and not ruin your nails.
Dry shampoo the night before - We get those days where upon wakening we are greeted with last night's greasy takeout on our hair. The grease we ingested somehow ended up greasing up our hair and because of this late notice and already being a rush, there is no time for hair washing. Spritzing dry shampoo is a girls go go guide for these kind of situations. Spraying it before you go to sleep however if we can remember, can help it to soak in overnight so that you wake up with luscious smelling hair.
