3. Turn Those Beauty Distress Signals into DIY Quick Fixes
Sometimes your beauty troubles come on suddenly and you don’t have the time or supplies to properly fix them. But, don’t panic: there are some great tips for basic beauty DIY-ers that you can use to help. Here are three of the best quick fixes to common beauty emergency distress signals.
Unexpected Acne Flare Up:
The best way to combat uninvited acne is to make an apple cider vinegar (ACV) toner. Simply put one part of ACV and four parts of water into a spray bottle and give it a shake to mix it all up. Then when your acne arrives, spritz the toner onto the affected areas and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. ACV not only helps balance your skin’s pH levels, but it contains natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Static Hair:
When static hair strikes, the best thing to do is work with it, not against it. Embrace your static and create a stylish and easy updo. Start by applying a light hair oil to your strands to help calm static flyaways. Then twist each section of your hair into a tiny bun and clip it in place while you do the same to other sections. When you’re done, you should have plenty of cute little buns all over your head.
Smudged Makeup:
Cleaning the smudges off your makeup is easy! All you need is a cotton swab and some hydrating facial mist. Dip the cotton swab into the mist and gently dab it onto the smudges. Keep dabbing until all the smudges are gone, then use a warm and damp soft cloth to smooth out and blend the makeup. And there you have it! Clean and fresh looking makeup in minutes.
