Hi lovelies,

Looking good can take a huge amount of time and effort, but there are a number of beauty hacks that will not only help you to look your best but which will cut the amount of time you need to spend on your beauty routine significantly.

Sound good? Let’s take a look at some of the most brilliant beauty hacks you won’t be able to live without below:

Use a lighter to repair your lipstick
It is not uncommon for lipsticks to break in half and become virtually unusable. If this has happened to your favorite lipstick, don’t worry though because you can easily put it back together again by using a lighter to gently melt the ends of the lipstick. You can then attach the broken portion, place the lipstick in the fridge to harden, and voila! It will be as good as new again.

Coconut oil for dry itchy skin
When it comes to natural remedies for eczema and dry and itchy skin in general, if you are looking for something that’s cheap, easily accessible, and that works fast, then try coconut oil. Cover the affected area with coconut oil two or three times a day and you may find that it reduces irritation while also improving the appearance of your skin in one fell swoop. Just check if it’s fine to try it with your dermatologist first.

Peppermint oil for plump lips
There are a number of lip plumpers on the market but any o them are expensive and results can vary. One beauty hack that will usually work, however, is to simply rub a little peppermint oil. Mixed with coconut oil, onto your lips. The peppermint will safely irritate the lips until they become much bigger and plumper than before, and it’s totally natural. If you hate peppermint, then cinnamon oil can work well too.

Use an ice cube when plucking your eyebrows
If you are going to pluck your eyebrows into the perfect shape, before you do so, take n ice cub out of the freezer and run it gently along the skin under and around your eyebrows. This will help to numb the area, which means you will experience less pain from plucking, which means you will be able to do the job faster and more effectively than ever before.

Dry brush for more effective exfoliating

Exfoliating is an important part of any beauty regime, It helps to remove dead skin cells. Leaving you looking more radiant and youthful than ever before. However, it can be time-consuming and less than effective if you are using basic exfoliation products.

Something that can not only speed things up, but also ensure that your dead skin cells are removed as effectively as possible, is using a boar’s hair brush on your dry body a couple of times a week. Not only does it get rid of skin cells, but it also helps to improve blood flow that can help to reduce cellulite and the appearance of stretch marks, doing three jobs in one go, and saving you a huge amount of time. Your skin will glow.

Use a cold spoon for eyebags

If you have bags under your eyes or your eye area is puffier than usual. Then put a couple of tablespoons in your fridge or freezer, until they are as cold as possible, then place them over your eyes for as long as you can manage. The cold metal will help to reduce the swelling and your eyes will look brighter and healthier than ever. The colder the spoon, the better the results will be, so if you can put the spoons in the freezer, then it is a good idea to do that.

Use a silk pillowcase

If there is one beauty hack that you really need to adopt, then it is using a silk pillow to sleep on. Why? For one thing, silk pillows are less likely to cause your hair to tangle and split as you move around at night, so your hair will definitely be healthier, shinier, and easier to manage if you do. For another, silk pillows are gentler on your skin too, so you are less likely to end up with fine lines, dry skin, and acne if you sleep on one. They are readily available and not too expensive, so you have nothing to lose.

If you incorporate even half of these ideas into your beauty regime, you will save time and have better results than ever before, so what are you waiting for?
