DIY Beauty Hacks

Get Rid of Facial Redness---Green Tea Bag: wash your face in brewed green tea and use the tea bag as a scrubber

Dry Shave---Aloe Lotion: slather lotion with aloe and shave, moisturizes and acts as shaving cream at the same time

Get Rid of Sweaty Skin (summer in parks and outdoor events)---Baby Powder: great alternative to trying to oil blot your whole body, sprinkle baby powder on your sticky skin, don't over do it, just make sure you have enough to absorb the sweat

Dark Eye Circles---Licorice Extract: mix it with a thick moisturizer and generously cover your under eye with it overnight, it takes a few days to lighten the skin

Morning Puffy Eyes No More---Vitamin K: known for helping blood flow, it also works with when you mix it with moisturizer and slather under eye overnight 

Moisturize Skin & Hair---Argan Oil: just a few drops on your palm, rub, and pat on your face/hair (seems like you're putting oil on your face but it's not oily at all after your skin has absorbed it)

Botox Facial Mask---Egg Whites: beat raw egg whites until it's foamy (important) and add some honey (optional) and slather on your face, wait till it drys and wash with warm water (you will feel your face immediately tighten)

Exfoliate w/o $$$ exfoliators---Sugar: just add sugar to your daily facial wash and exfoliate (works with hands & body, just add to body/hand wash!)
