My weird beauty tricks
Honestly, I love these tricks no matter how strange they are.
wear retainer NIGHTLY (even if you haven’t had braces since middle school, teeth shift)
nose roller
rose quartz roller
gua sha
dermaplaning
lip exfoliation using acquafor
acne body spray
panoxyl for underarms
moisturize the booty
aloe as a skin hydrator
castor oil for eyebrows
shave oil instead of gel or cream
hair gel on eyebrows instead of eyebrow gel
concealer before and after foundation
cuticle oil. use it
always have toenails painted. Always.
always wear lipstick or tint
wear sunscreen even on rainy days
use teeth whitening strips
don’t squint or frown if unnecessary bc wrinkles
use dry shampoo after straightening hair to reduce oil from heat protectants
if you didn’t get covered in dirt, only wash your front side, back side, under arms, face, and hair to not waste soap (especially if you shower twice a day, do this in mornings and maybe more areas at night depending on your day). Soap can be very drying to skin, and ashy legs/arms aren’t cute.
if using a bar of soap, go over the same spot 20 times to make sure the product actually goes onto your skin (I literally count to 20 before moving on to the next spot)
use setting powder over lipstick to prevent flaking and transferring
use skincare and makeup products on neck/collar area to maintain consistent color
hair up when sleeping
silk pillowcases only
microfiber towels for hair only
wash hair with cool water
only wash face outside of the shower (hot water is too harsh)
