I know that maintaining a healthy yet affordable beauty routine can be a struggle. As a young teenager with a minimal budget for beauty products, I have learned some tips for creating a minimal beauty routine and making products last! Here are some of my tips for a minimalist skincare routine with vast results!
Vaseline has honestly saved my life on multiple occasions. This product is cheap and affordable, but it's also multi-purpose, so it's also great to have handy! Here are some ways you can use Vaseline!
It works as a nice moisturizer, especially during the winter when your skin tends to be drier.
This is a great resource if you are struggling with lip care! This can be used as a lip gloss, but can also double as a lip mask. Simply apply it to your lips for ten minutes, then use a floss to scrape off the product and dead skin cells for baby soft lips ππ«¦!
Typically, I don't brag about viral products on this blog, but this Glycolic Acid Toner by The Ordinary does wonderful work! This is another multi-purpose product that is affordable as well! Here are some of the ways you can use this product!
You can apply this toner to a cotton pad (as in the picture) and rub it on your legs after shaving to get rid of strawberry legs ππ¦΅.
Applying this on your face and other acne-prone spots on your body can get rid of stubborn acne scars and those little bumps on your forehead that never seem to go away.
You can pour this toner into a roller bottle or spray bottle to use as deodorant. It kills the bacteria that causes your sweat to stink, and it eliminates the odor, which brings our your natural scent πΈ!
This sounds cheesy, but hydration is key to having clear skin. Water is a crucial part of having healthy skin, but also decent overall health. Some benefits of drinking LOTS of water are...
Drinking water can help flush out excess fluids in your body, reducing bloating in your face and stomach.
Hydrating your cells is important because it protects your skin barrier and makes your skin smoother and more plump!
Water consumption helps hydrate your cuticles and retain moisture, which can lead to stronger nails... π
Keeping water in your system increases collagen levels, preventing wrinkles and sagging of skin.
I feel like this doesn't get talked about enough, but it is important to take off your makeup before going to sleep π΄! I understand that you get sleepy, and you think "No one will notice one night...". THEY WILL! Just kidding... you're beautiful no matter what, but your skin health will be so much better if you add this quick step to your nighttime routine! Simply pour some of the makeup remover on a cotton pad of some sort and lightly wipe away all makeup on your face!Β
π¨DON'T FORGET THIS PARTπ¨: Take it a step further, and wash your face after removing your makeup. Neglecting this part of your routine can result in dirty makeup remover settling into your pores, clogging them. Trust me, you don't want that!!!
