5 [WHACKY] USES FOR EVERY DAY BEAUTY PRODUCTS
/
Some of the best beauty results can actually come from unique ingredients that you may have never heard or tried in an ‘off-brand’ way…they're a little wacky but super effective! Diaper Cream on your face, or castor oil on your brows?! Let’s dive in.
Aquaphor Lip Balm as an under eye primer
This technique was developed by Scott Barnes, celebrity makeup artist... He suggests a few swipes of aquaphor lip balm (not the kind in a squeeze bottle) under the eyes prior to concealer for a glowy seamless blend over textured skin. The makeup grips to the balm and smooths and hydrates texture. Aquaphor Lip Balm
Diaper Cream to calm redness on the face
Dr. Idriss on Tik Tok shared her recommendation of using a zinc based diaper cream to calm inflammation in the face, including sunburn. Zinc is anti bacterial and anti inflammatory, and most are very inclusive formulas meaning they lock in moisture, Triple Paste Ointment
Glycolic Acid to lighten underarm skin and fight odor
Glycolic acid is a common ingredient in skincare for mild exfoliation and brightening, but it is also amazing to use on your underarms to kill odor causing bacteria as well as brighten darker skin over time. Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic
Castor Oil for growth and strength of lashes and brows
This ingredient has been used for hundreds of years in medicinal modalities and even as lamp fuel, but in recent years its use in the beauty industry has really taken center stage. A simple swipe on a cotton swab to brow and lash hairs, helps to hydrate, strengthen and darken hairs, producing longer healthier hairs over just a few weeks Castor Oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil for all things healthy hair
Coconut oil is my favorite summer beauty hack for all things hair. It is amazing as a leave-in treatment, as a finishing oil to smooth ends, as a glossy finish to your slick back ponytail, and my favorite as a pre-swim mask to prevent chlorine damage! Fractionated Coconut Oil
