9 tried and tested beauty hacks for women-on-the-go
We live in an era where time is everything. We try to get maximum results, with minimum effort and in even less time. This is no different when it comes to beauty routines.
POLOKWANE – Relieved has the following beauty hacks that require everyday products and even less effort.
1. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a toner.
For people with oily skin, applying a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water before applying your moisturiser. Contrary to popular belief, not using moisturiser when you have dry skin will only dry out your skin some more. The vinegar will balance your skin’s pH levels, preventing it from producing more oil
2. Use Tap Water To Protect Hair While Swimming
If you are going swimming and are afraid that the chlorine with mess up you your hair? Don’t have a swimming cap on you? no problem, rinse your hair with tap water before you get into a pool to prevent the chlorine in the swimming water from damaging your hair. This is a easy trick to execute, unless of-course you are in Polokwane.
3. Another water related hack, is soaking nails in ice cold water after painting them to help them dry faster. Apply nail polish as usual and put your fingers in the water for a few minutes to help the nail polish to set and dry faster.
4. Applying Vaseline on pulse points before spraying perfume will make it last longer. Vaseline helps the scent stick to the skin for longer periods of time. The pulse points are behind your ears, inside your elbows, in your belly button, and behind your knees.
5. Reduce puffiness under your eyes with green tea bags. Just place them in hot water and put them in the fridge to cool before placing them under your eyes for five minutes. The caffeine in the green tea will help tighten the skin under your eyes.
6. Toothpaste can be used to strengthen nails. Nails and teeth are both made out of calcium and both can enjoy the same benefits of toothpaste. Rub toothpaste onto your nails once a day for about a week, and you’ll see a dramatic change in your nail health.
7. Who said eye shadow can only be used on your eyes? A little birdy says dusting eye shadow that is the same colour as your hair can make your hairline look thicker.
8. Potatoes can be used to lighten dark underarms. Peel a potato and and rub it on the armpit, leaving it for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
9. Apple cider vinegar and black tea can sooth skin irritated by shaving. The tannic acid in black tea and anti inflammatory properties in apple cider vinegar help reduce redness and irritation. Rub the apple cider vinegar onto the irritated area. Then, soak a black tea bag in hot water for around ten minutes. Let the black tea bag cool, and then massage it into the affected area.
