There’s no reason to invest in cosmetic rice water if you’re a rice lover. Simply add some extra water next time you’re cooking and siphon it off to dab on your face later for smoother, brighter skin and tighter pores.
2. Use castor oil for lush brows and lashes
Can’t afford Latisse or other expensive growth serums? Grab a bottle of castor oil and a clean mascara wand and apply a bit each night to help regrow hair and make it last longer
3. Get glittered
Speaking of glitter polish, applying it can be just as challenging as removing it. In order to get full coverage, apply the polish to a sponge and then dab it on your nails. This video will show you how.
4. Keep your beauty blender clean
Use a plastic Easter egg to store your blenders in between uses. This will keep them from sitting on counters collecting germs and drying out.
5. Cover greys with a mascara wand
You don’t have to head to the salon or break out the box dye every time you spot a few greys. A mascara wand and some mascara or brow gel (depending on your hair color) can provide and easy, temporary fix.
6. Whiten your teeth with strawberries
Strawberries are high in malic acid, which can help eliminate yellow stains on teeth. Simply rubbing a strawberry across your teeth will do the job, or else you can make a toothpaste of mashed strawberries and baking soda. Leave on for 5 minutes for best results.
7. Tighten skin with facial yoga
Facial yoga and massage can help tighten skin all over your face. Moving the muscles of your face in new ways can have all sorts of beneficial effects. You can find some instructions for face, neck, and chest exercises here.
8. Break out the cider vinegar
Ingesting cider vinegar can have all sorts of benefits, but so can topical use. Since it’s a course of alpha hydroxy acids, this kitchen staple can help lighten age spots. If it dries out your skin, you can mix it with a little oil before applying it.
9. Throw in the towel
Towels can cause major damage to hair when it’s wet. Instead of grabbing the terrycloth, consider using an old t-shirt or a microfiber towel. These are less likely to irritate the hair shaft.
10. Toughen up your lip pencil
The last thing you want is a lip pencil that smudges. Instead of using it right out of your makeup bag, stick it in the fridge at the beginning of your makeup routine. When it comes time to apply it, it’ll be just hard enough to create nice, sharp lines.
