We all love our beauty routines but let’s face it – sometimes we simply don’t have enough time for pampering. So, here are some simple beauty tips to include in your daily beauty routine that will simplify your life and take just a little of your time.
Coffee scrub for glowing skin
This super simple homemade scrub is going to make your skin smooth and bright while it will slough away dead skin cells. The caffeine stimulates the skin and improves blood flow to the face, and will make your skin deeply nourished and glowing. All you need to do is mix a tablespoon of freshly ground coffee, a tablespoon of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and apply it on your skin. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, rinse with warm water and voilà!
DIY black peel-off mask
For this mask, you will need a tablespoon of coconut oil, 2 capsules of activated charcoal (you can find them in your local pharmacy) and 2 tablespoon of homemade natural glue (mix cornstarch, sugar, and water until you get a sticky/gluey mass). Mix the ingredients together and make sure to clean your face before applying the mixture – the easiest way to do so is with an old brush. Let the mask dry completely, it will take about 20-40 minutes, and slowly peel it off from the bottom, going up. After peeling the mask off, wash the skin with warm water and apply toner to close the pores. Using this mask once a week you will ensure a clear and tighter skin.
Face + lip scrub
You will need only three ingredients for this wonderful scrub. Mix 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, a tablespoon of coconut oil and a tablespoon of honey. Apply the mixture to your face and lips and rub gently for two minutes, in a circular motion. Your skin and your lips will look smooth and refreshed!
Simple homemade makeup remover
In a glass jar, mix clean water with olive or coconut oil in a 3:1 ratio and shake until the ingredients combine, and that’s it! Your own homemade makeup remover that is good for any type of skin.
Emphasize your eyes
Apply a light, shimmery eyeshadow on the inside corners of your eyes to put an accent on them. It will give you a much younger look and will emphasize the shape of your eyes. Also, to intensify the color of your eyeshadow, fill in your lid with white eyeliner first and then apply your favorite color on top of it. It makes any color brighter and stronger.
Curl your lashes
Blow dry your curler for a few second before using it on your lashes to get lovely luscious lashes! Make sure the curler cools down a bit before using it!
Applying false eyelashes
When applying false eyelashes, lean directly over a mirror, it will make it easier to put them on. Cut lash strips into halves or thirds for easier application. Use your lash curler to hold them together while applying your mascara. Or there’s an even easier hack – get individual eyelash extensions. They last up to 4-6 weeks after which you’ll need to get a professional lash infill treatment to keep your wonderful eyelashes strong and curly.
Plump your pucker
Create the effect of fuller lips by highlighting the middle of your lips with white pencil, highlighter or white shadow. Apply your favorite lip gloss over it and that’s it! Also using lip liner will help keep your lines clean and lipstick perfect. Make sure to blend the lip liner with the lipstick so that you don’t get the awful ‘90s look – a visible line around your mouth.
DIY hair mask
If you want your hair to look shiny the best way is to DIY hair mask with all natural ingredients. To prepare it, combine a banana, 1 egg, a tablespoon of honey and half a glass of dark beer and stir until its smooth. Apply your hair mask, leave it on for a couple of hours and wash off with warm water. For best results, use this mask once a week.
Dry shampoo hack
If your hair gets greasy fast and you don’t really want to wash it every day, simply use dry hair shampoo that will make your hair look clean and it is perfect for greasy hair. It will make it easier to do your hair and it will make it smell wonderful. Use baby powder instead of dry hair shampoo for the same results.
These are all simple and easy tip that will make your beauty routine a piece of cake! These hacks will make your life easy-peasy while looking stunning.
