It’s a good idea to clean your mascara brush often. Do so by adding a few drops of saline or eye drops to the brush and rinsing it off. It’s safe for your eyes and it does its job well.

Baking soda and peroxide is all it takes to clean straigteners and curling irons. Wipe it down gently with the solution and then dry it good before plugging it back in. The device will look better and work better.

Whenever you get new makeup, be sure to check the expiration dates. Write them down if you want to make sure you don’t miss them. Or check every few weeks while doing your makeup.

To make your lips matte, add blush the same color that your lipstick is on top of it. It will look just as good for when you want a matte finish instead of a gloss. It may even last longer.
7) Cream To Ends Of Hair
Add a finishing cream to the ends of your hair before bed to wake up with smooth, relaxed hair. You won’t have the same bedhead ever again and it’s so easy! If you have stubborn hair, use leave-in instead.
8) Don’t Overdry Your Face
People with oily skin are obsessed with keeping their face dry. But doing so will only increase inflammation. Instead, use salicylic or lactic acid and cleansing masks with clay!
9) Whiten your Nails
Apply lemon juice soaked cotton to your nails, wrap that in foil, and wait fifteen minutes. Remove and let them dry. Your nails should lose a bit of that yellow color that was darkening them.
10) Cinnamon And Peppermint Lips
If you’re not allergic to either, try adding cinnamon and peppermint essential oils to your lip balm for fuller, brighter lips. Not to mention, they smell amazing together. Aromatherapy, anyone?

If you have trouble making your nails look professional, just add vaseline to your skin before painting them. It’s a trick to help you stay in the lines. After it dries, remove the vaseline!

At the end of the day, your feet could use a bath. But instead of just epsoms, consider adding vinegar and mouthwash to your foot bath. It will leave you with baby soft skin! Goodbye calluses.

If you want to look younger and fresher, try adding a lighter, creamy highlighter to your face. It will brighten you up and make you look awake. Which in the end always makes you look younger.
14) Hairspray For Unruly Brows
Good brows are so in right now, so count your lucky stars if yours are thick. To keep them smooth, just add hairspray to your brow brush and smooth them down. It’s as easy as that.
15) Take Care Of Those Hands
We all know how important washing our hands is, but that’s not all we can do for them. Washing them dries them out, so don’t forget to moisturize them every day too. And keep on washing!
16) Don’t Ignore Your Neck
An age old trick on how to tell how old someone is includes looking at their neck. Signs of age spots or wrinkles tells a lot. Take care of your neck with creams and protect it with sunscreen when you go out.

For a smooth shave without much effort, use baby oil instead of shaving cream. Your skin will feel baby soft and the razor will glide right over your skin. Why didn’t I try this sooner?
21) Dryer Sheets For Flyaways
If you struggle with flyaway hairs, then carry dryer sheets around with you. Stick a baggie in your purse and comb them away with a single sheet whenever you feel they are out of control.
22) Clean Your Face Often
If you want to know the easiest way to have youthful, fresh skin, then wash your face. Do so in the morning and in the evening. No matter your skin type, this is super important.

Melt soap with chickpea flour, a tablespoon of lentil flour, and a tablespoon of turmeric! In no time you’ll have yourself an exfoliating soap to use before shaving to open up those pores and leave you with smooth skin.
24) Get A Face Massage
If you are prone to bags under your eyes, consider getting a face massage. You can hire a professional or learn to do it at home. Just look up “drainage massage for face” and you’ll find it.
25) Mouthwash As Deodorant Substitute
If you’re in a pinch and without deodorant, you can always use a paper towel to dab mouthwash under your arms. It will have you smelling fresh and no one will know it’s not deodorant.
26) Ice Your Face
Either invest in an ice roller or just use ice. If you ice your face slowly each day, especially under your eyes, you’ll look more lively, young, and feel awake. You’ll complexion will no longer be dull!

The days of using a linty tissue to remove the excess are over. Just suck you finger once and you’ll have the perfect amount left. Wash your hand easily and you’re good to go.

If you want your perfume to last longer, try applying vaseline to your wrists before spraying. Make sure it’s a very light layer. It will mix in well and last through the evening.
29) Store Makeup Correctly
Makeup should not be stored in the bathroom. Most people store their makeup in the bathroom, but it’s actually far too humid in there. Not to mention, the ever-changing temperature.
30) Coconut Oil As Makeup Remover
Coconut oil makes an amazing makeup remover. It’s save, relatively cheap, and feels nice on your skin. Just make sure you wash off the coconut oil after using it to cleanse your skin.
31) Change Tone Of Foundation
If your foundation is off a little, maybe because you’ve tanned this summer, then don’t fret. Add moisturizing to thin it out or bronzer to darken it to relax it. This works well for the change of seasons.
32) Avoid Scrubs
It is often recommended to not use abrasive skincare products, especially if you’re prone to acne. Simply apply an aspirin-and-water solution to problem spots to reduce inflammation.
33) Baking Soda Face Wash
If you want radiant skin, try adding a spoonful of baking soda to your face gel and mix it in. Apply it a few times a week and see if it makes a difference in your or not. It never hurts to try!
34) Deodorant To Prevent Blisters
Apply deodorant to problem spots like your heels before putting your shoes on. This will prevent moisture from gathering and blisters from starting. Keep some with you and reapply whenever you like.
35) Clean Stuff That Touches Your Face
We all know now how important it is to not touch your face. We wash our hands, but are we making sure everything else that touches our face is clean? Keep your phone, glasses, and whatever else clean at all times. You will have fewer breakouts and a brighter glow.
