Household Items for Your Beauty Routine

Household Items for Your Beauty Routine

There are many products that you already have at home (or can find very easily and inexpensively) that you can incorporate into your beauty routine or start a new routine if you don’t already have one. A lot of people think that the higher the cost of a product the better and that they must purchase what is “popular” at the time. But that definitely isn’t always the case, many times you can get better results with common, cheaper items.

In any case, it’s always a good idea to check labels and do your research before you make a purchase to use for yourself and your family. You want to know the products that you use are not harming you but benefit you. Just because it comes in a pretty package doesn’t mean that it is a great product.

10 Household Items for Your Beauty Routine

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

6. Preparation-H 

   I know, I know. Isn’t this the butt cream stuff?! Yes, preparation-h is well-known for healing those dreaded, unfortunate hemorrhoids, but it is also a fantastic under-eye baggage repairer. Many models swear by this to quickly rid the face of the raccoon eye look.

   Use a cotton ball and wipe down flat irons and curling irons to remove all the gunk and keep your hair tools clean. It works like a charm.

9. Mayonnaise 

   For shiny nails-simply massage mayonnaise onto your cuticles and let it sit a few minutes, then rinse. Softer hair- Apply mayonnaise to the ends of your hair, let it sit for 15 minutes and rinse.
