10 Fun & Frugal Beauty Tips
I'm ready to unload some the best secrets and tips that even
your salon professionals use. Of course they would like for you
to buy their products and will tell you they are the best in
order to make the sale, but I'm pretty sure they're not being
honest in telling you what products are really on the backbar in
their salons.
As a frugal person myself, I've always shared my secrets with my
clients. I earn my living selling my services, not products.
Here a few for you to enjoy!
1. To dry nail polish in a hurry, spray nails with PAM Oil
Spray.
2. Olive oil can be added to bath water for a skin softener.
3. Toner/Astringent -- Use witch hazel instead. No need to
dilute -- use full strength. You can also rinse with a splash of
Apple Cider Vinegar after cleansing -- it balances out the ph of
your skin.
4. Cut back on the amount of shampoo you use. Do the same with
toothpaste. The manufacturers want us to use more, so we buy
more.
5. Keep your pantyhose in the freezer, and they will last longer.
6. For great lotion, mix one-part lotion with one-part vaseline.
It works better than plain lotion, and, depending on the cost of
your lotion, you can stretch its value.
7. To prevent hair pins from falling out, bend one prong in a
"V" about halfway up and insert in hair. It will stay.
8. Old lipstick tubes, thoroughly cleaned, are great for
purse-sized pill boxes or for pins.
9. Use hydrogen peroxide as an inexpensive nail bleach.
10. For an excellent facial, mix dry oatmeal and water into a
paste and spread on face. Lie down and let it dry. Wash off with
warm water.
