With all the information and beauty products out there, it can be difficult to know which ones actually work. However, there are many tried and true methods to looking and feeling better — most of which are even natural. The following health and beauty tips will have you looking and feeling your best, without spending a ton of money!
1. Rosewater As Toner
If your skin is looking blotchy or uneven, a rosewater toner will help to even out your skin tone. Apply rosewater using a cotton pad after cleansing and before moisturizing once daily to see results.
2. DIY Hair Mask
For hair that’s moisturized, shiny, and frizz-free, you can make a DIY hydrating hair mask. Click here for DIY hair masks that contain natural ingredients like honey, olive oil, egg, and avocado.
3. Baking Soda For Dark Circles
If you have dark circles under your eyes, mix together a few tablespoons of baking soda with some warm water. Soak a cotton pad into the solution, then hold the pad underneath your eyes. After a few minutes, rinse, then moisturize. Your circles will begin to fade if you repeat this daily.
4. Honey To Reduce The Appearance Of Pimples
If you wake up one morning with a big, red pimple, don’t panic. Just apply a drop of honey to the pimple, then rinse off after about 10 minutes. The honey will help to soothe the area and make it look less noticeable.
5. Reduce A Puffy Face
If you’ve noticed that your face is looking puffy and slightly swollen, sleep with an extra pillow at night. The extra elevation will help encourage blood flow away from your face, so you’ll wake up looking fresher and more awake.
6. Green Tea Bags To Reduce Puffy Eyes
If your eyes are puffy and you have dark under-eye circles, steep a few green tea bags in water, then let them cool down. Apply the tea bags to your under-eyes and they will reduce inflammation and discoloration.
7. Instant Lip Lift
If you want your lips to appear fuller and more voluminous, apply a lip oil (coconut oil works, too) to your lips, then gently scrub them with a toothbrush for a few minutes. This will bring blood flow to your lips, making them appear fuller.
8. Baking Soda To Treat Ingrown Hairs
If you have a painful ingrown hair, make a concentrated solution of water and baking soda. Use a cotton pad to apply the solution to the ingrown hair, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, rinse off and repeat daily. The baking soda will reduce inflammation, itching, and acts as a natural exfoliant.
9. Olive Oil For Healthy Nails
If your nails are looking dry, weak, or brittle, soak them in a bowl of olive oil for about 10 minutes. Rinse and repeat a few times a week. Your nails will slowly start to gain strength and hydration.
