We all want to always look perfect. However, with the beauty industry constantly evolving, skincare and makeup products have become very costly. Hence, it is a struggle to stay fit and maintain your beauty standards at all times. However, you can replace the pricey cosmetics and salon procedures with simple. From natural DIYs to budget-friendly life hacks, this article has you covered. Dive in to find out more

Lips

Lips are a very prominent feature on our faces, and we always want them to look good in whatever lip shade we are wearing. A little tip would be to always apply lip balm before wearing lipstick or lipgloss. Moisturizing your lips frequently helps to avoid drying them up. Also, avoid licking or peeling your lips, as that dries them out as well. Do not apply lipstick if your lips are dry or cracked; that will only give them a chapped look. Moreover, instead of getting expensive lip balms and scrubs, you can try this natural remedy:

Prepare a mixture of sugar and honey and scrub your lips with it for 3 to 5 minutes. Don’t scrub too hard. Instead, do it softly and lightly.

Do you love wearing long-lasting matte lipstick but do not have a good makeup remover? Or is removing lipstick a big struggle for you? Don't worry! Here's a life hack for you: use sweet almond oil. Put some sweet almond oil over cotton and use it to remove your lipstick. You'll never get annoyed at the idea of removing lipstick once you have tried this hack! Also, keep in mind that frequently wearing lipstick can darken your lips. To avoid the adverse effects of the chemicals in lipsticks, use lip gloss instead. Lip Gloss hydrates your lips and doesn’t darken them either.

Hair

Thick, long, and healthy hair are the key features of femininity and beauty. However, it is very difficult to maintain hair health. From stress to diet intake, everything affects hair growth. Hair Fall and split ends are every other girl's headache. Here are some tips and remedies to get your thick healthy hair back:

Blend avocado and make a paste out of it. Add egg yolk and combine it to make a mixture. Apply this mask more than once a week for at least an hour to stimulate hair growth and make your hair beautiful and thick.

No matter what type of hair you have, conditioning them is crucial. It prevents your hair from UV damage and pollution. The correct way to condition is to apply from mid-lengths to the ends of your hair. Never condition your roots as they can weigh down your hair, make them greasy, and give you dandruff. On the other hand, shampoo is for your scalp. If you use it on your tips, it will end up taking away too many of your natural oils.

Everyone loves using heat styling, but not all of us know the adverse effects its frequent use can have on our hair. To prevent damage to your hair, always use a protective product such as a heat-protecting serum before straightening or curling your hair. You can also make one at home by doing the following:

Take 1 tbsp of sweet almond oil, 1tsp of coconut oil, 5 drops of clary sage essential oil, 5 drops of geranium essential oil, 2tsp of hair conditioner, and 1 cup of distilled water and put all these ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake the bottle and use it as a protective spray before using any heat styling.

Apart from heat styling, many other things such as pollution and styling methods negatively affect our hair. Hence, it is essential to trim your hair regularly. Trimming your hair once every three months is ideal.

Another great and simple hack to strong hair is to gently massage them with coconut oil 10 minutes before shampooing.

Many of us love the idea of coloring our hair. However, always remember not to go too light from your natural color. Moreover, conduct a patch test behind your ear for 24 hours to test the hair color for any allergies. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Eyelashes and eyebrows

Every other girl longs for long lashes. The best ingredient to naturally lengthen your eyelashes is castor oil. However, coconut oil works great too. It has amazing properties, which make it a key ingredient in many cosmetics. The vitamin E in coconut oil stimulates the growth of your eyelashes. Mixing coconut oil with aloe vera gel and regularly applying it to your eyelashes can do wonders.

Having neat eyebrows can define your look. A great hack to tame your eyebrows is to apply some vaseline before coloring and shaping them!

Face 

Keeping your face wrinkle-free and young is every girl's dream. You can use the following mask to moisturize your skin and fight wrinkles:

Take grapes and peel them and then blend them to make a paste. Add one tsp of olive oil to two tbsp of the paste and mix. Apply the mixture to your face, massage it, and then leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. You can rinse your face with lukewarm water afterward.

Regularly using scrubs and exfoliators is necessary. You can also make a natural scrub by mixing one tsp of salt with two tsp of either olive oil or coconut oil.

 Applying sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and pollution. You can get a sunscreen for your specific skin type and should also apply it under your foundation or any other makeup product.
