Beauty secerts

So i have been reading a lot on beauty secrets a lot and i have been experimenting at home with ways to save money on beauty supplies. I have also discovered ways to use kitchen items for your skin.

1) Extra Virgin olive oil
There is so much you can do with this and it really benefits your skin well.
Eye makeup remover.

• if your skin is really dry this is great for removing eye makeup. If you have a more oily complexion i do not recommend it but its fantastic for removing eye makeup. One swipe with a cotton/pad it gets so much eyeliner and eye make-up off your eye.


• Shaving your legs. Its moisturizing and its protects your legs from getting cut. Its also fantastic for making your razors last and cleaning them off. Soak your razor in e.v.o.o and let it sit for a minute or 2 than rinse with water.


• Its also great in the shower for a hair moisturizer. but use a tiny bit and use it on the ends.


• The reason why some people hair would get greasy is because they used to much hair product and they wash their too much. or the put conditioner or hair shine styling products on the roots.(the only hair product you put on your roots is moose or pomade to get rid of fly aways but even with pomade use a tiny amount.) Your roots need to be clean they do not need a lot of moisture. your ends is what needs the shine and moisture its the same with conditioner. If you use conditioner on your ends only your hair will look healthier and shinier. Shampoo on the roots conditioner on the ends.


• Also on the day you choose to deep condition your hair only use it on the ends.


• use olive oil, sugar or brown sugar with a little sea salt as a homemade body scrub. or face scrub.

2) Do not wash your hair everyday.

• Elle did say that if you are used to washing it everyday than wait for a week where you do not have a lot going on. But all together stop washing your hair everyday. I have never used dry shampoo. I do not need to though. One of my tricks is i go every other day during the week. If i had a old laddie shower cap i would use the shower cap but i do not so i just pull my hair up and do not get it wet. On Saturday i deep condition. And on Sunday i use shampoo by its self. and than on Monday i just do not wash or get it wet. On the weeks where i am not doing much i try to go two days without washing which it does work. On the day you wash it comes out really shinny. You really do use less product in your hair when you don't wash it everyday. Still shower everyday but for your hairs health do not wash it everyday and do not get it wet because it will pay off in the end.


• I talked about this in the bullet about EVOO, But also only use conditioner at the ends of your hair and use shampoo at the root. The roots is where your hair needs to stay clean and if you are using conditioner at the roots it will leave more oil in your hair causing it to be greasy. you want the shine at the ends and the roots do not need oil it has natural oil as there is.

3) When drying your self off with towel do not rub the towel tap the towel onto your skin.

• Its important to follow this rule with your skin care routine as well and your hair. The reason why you tap the towel is because when you rub your skin its rough on it. It also ruins the fabric of the towels. It keeps the towel softer and makes it last longer. It also keeps your skin plumper around your body. Like when your put on concealer and you tug your lids it will cause your eyes to sag when you get older. Like your skin on your body when you rub the towel it will sag your skin so tap it instead of rubbing. Same with your hair.

4) keep the lotion or body butter at the bottom of your shower.

The steam from the shower will heat up the lotion making it possible to heat up on your skin and blend better. and easier this way you use less product and you are saving money. make sure your skin is still a little damp when you put on the lotion. Also use your towel and tap this seals the lotion.

5) cleaning makeup brushes

there are two ways to clean your make-up brushes. Deep clean and spot clean.

• Spot cleaning is so simple get baby wipes or make-up remover wipes and clean your brush after every use.


• Deep cleaning is a lot more complicated there are many techniques to cleaning your brushes. Here what i do i use a combination of Michelle Phan (youtube personality) and things i have learned from make-up artist.

ingredients

• dish soap


• baby shampoo


• conditioner.


• olive oil.

Items

• Plate


• towel


• bathroom sink

Mix all of the ingredients on the plate. tap brushes into the mix do not get the Handel wet and do not let the mix seep near the handle. wet the bottom bristle and rinse with the water. squeeze brush until the water is clear. and MAKE SURE NOT TO GET THE ENTIRE BRUSH WET ESPECIALLY THE HANDLE. than dry the brush in little circles. if its a brush that has a shape that needs to stay brush it in the direction you would use on your face. lay the brush flat to dry. when dyed store you brushes.

(keep in mind if you do not feel like using the dish soap that is fine. I use it to disinfect the brush. But you can it can clean fine without the soap. Also the olive oil just softens the bristles. But you do not have to use that either.)

These were some of my tips try whatever you would like. see what one of these tips works for you and tell me your results.
