Are You Looking For Some Quick and Easy Budget-Friendly yet powerful Beauty Tips, you can take to help reverse aging and prolong your life, while significantly enhancing your health and appearance!?
Here are 30 Tried & True Beauty Tips, Anti-Aging Secrets, and Makeup Tricks for Healthy Glowing Skin, Shiny Hair, Kissable Lips, and More!
1. Brighten elbows by rubbing them with half a lemon. Lemons have a natural bleaching effect. Moisturize elbows afterwards to counteract the drying effects of the juice.
2. If you find it painful to tweeze eyebrows—hold an ice cube over the brow area first to numb the area. Using Baby Orajel also works well.
3. Brighten dark circles and tighten baggy puffy eyes with chilled raw potato slices, cucumber slices, or cooled wrung-out decaffeinated tea bags. Just place over the eyes and relax for 10-15 minutes.
4. Soak dry brittle finger nails in a small bowl of warm extra-virgin olive oil (which is high in antioxidants) once a week to strengthen them and soften cuticles.
5. To stimulate eyelash growth—carefully coat your lashes with emu, olive oil, or castor oil using a Q-tip before going to bed, making sure not to get it into your eyes.
6. For dry skin on hands and feet—apply extra-virgin olive oil and put on gloves or white socks before going to bed. EVOO also works well for elbows and knees.
7. Keep your smile looking its best—make your own tooth whitening paste by adding 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide to 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
8. For beautiful skin—pour 2-3 beers into a warm bath and enjoy a beer bath. Beer is very good for the skin because it contains loads of vitamins, powerful antioxidants, and yeast.
9. For a quick pimple fix—apply a dab of toothpaste (DO NOT use gel) on the pimple and let it dry. The toothpaste may be left on for several minutes or overnight. Also, to calm a red inflamed pimple, hold an ice cube over it for a few seconds to cool and soothe the skin.
10. Go very lightly with powder on fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Too much powder will settle into the wrinkles and actually emphasize them.
11. Run your freshly sharpened eyeliner pencil across a tissue before using it. This rounds off the sharp edges and removes any small particles or wood shavings.
12. To make your lips kissably soft—exfoliate dry chapped lips with a soft, wet toothbrush or washcloth. Gently rub in a circular motion to remove any flakiness and then apply lip balm.
13. To keep lipstick from getting on your teeth—once you’ve applied the lipstick, insert your index finger into your mouth and close your lips around your finger. Then slowly pull your finger out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger.
14. Store skin care products and cosmetics in the refrigerator to extend the shelf-life and to minimize any health concerns caused by bacteria.
15. For overzealous eyebrow plucking—apply castor, coconut, or olive oil to your brows nightly before bed to stimulate growth, then wash off in the morning. Eyebrow regrowth is a slow process, so in the mean time, fill in any bald or sparse areas with an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder.
16. If you’re prone to ingrown hairs—DO NOT shave in the opposite direction of hair growth. Instead, shave in the direction that hair grows, and use a moisturizing shave gel, or better yet, extra-virgin olive oil.
17. To fade stretch marks—dry brush every single day to exfoliate and stimulate blood circulation. Then rub a few drops of lavender, patchouli, or helichrysum essential oils mixed with good carrier oil such as sweet almond or jojoba into the stretch marks. These oils have regenerative effects that slow down aging of the skin, improve elasticity, and heal damaged skin cells.
18. To cure yellow finger nails caused by wearing dark-colored nail polish —rub with lemon juice, then rinse and massage hands and nails with a moisturizer.
19. To protect your skin from the harsh chemicals and to prevent haircoloring from dying your skin, rub vaseline along your hairline.
20. If after using a self-tanner you end up with streaks or blotchiness— put some baking soda on a wet loofah or washcloth and gently scrub in a circular motion. This works especially well for stained callused feet, elbows, knees, or palms of the hands. NOTE: It’s important to exfoliate the skin BEFORE applying a self-tanner for best results!
21. To get rid of dandruff—add a few drops of aromatherapy essential oils like tea tree or eucalyptus to your shampoo.
22. To lighten and brighten your complexion—mix 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part lemon juice, and 1 part water. Soak a cotton ball in the solution, squeezing out excess, and rub over your face in the morning and again in the evening. This works well for melasma, age spots, and freckles.
23. For rock hard nails—add fresh, finely chopped garlic to a bottle of clear nail polish and let it sit for 7 days. The garlic hardens and strengthens the nails so they are less likely to peel or break.
24. An inexpensive way to boost the shine of brunette hair is to rinse after shampooing with diluted apple cider vinegar. Blondes benefits from lemon juice applied the same way. Both act by sealing the outer cuticles of the hair, which helps to reflect the light.
25. Cover spider veins with a light covering of concealer, applied with a makeup brush and set with a dusting of powder.
26. Rub a dab of vaseline around the neck of a new bottle of nail polish, and it should be easy to open for the life of the product.
27. To bring out your eye color—avoid matching your eye shadow to the color of your eyes. Use complimentary colors instead. NOTE: To remove eye make-up—extra-virgin olive oil is a simple solution. Just a drop or two on a cotton ball is all you need to gently and effectively remove eye make-up.
28. For whiter teeth—if your teeth have a grayish tone, use a warmshade lipstick like bronze or copper. If your teeth are more yellow, pick cool blue-based lipstick shades.
29. To make your eyes sparkle and appear bigger—try outlining them just inside the upper and lower lashes with a soft white cosmetic pencil.
30. For bad breath—FLOSS! Flossing is a crucial step for dislodging food and bad breath bacteria that may linger.
NOTE: Daily flossing can add 6+ years to your life by removing bacteria which can cause inflammation and lead to heart disease. NOTE: For gum irritation and canker sores, mix 4 drops of myrhh essential oil with 4 oz. of water and swoosh around in your mouth. Repeat twice daily.
