EyeCare

Wipe your sunglasses, prescription eyeglasses, and mobile phone daily with alcohol. This will help kill any bacteria as well as keep those with acne-prone skin (hi, me) with fewer breakouts where the dirty device or glasses rest on the skin.

Hygiene is Everything

Change pillowcases regularly. I sleep on one side of the pillow each night then change after each sleep, because I like my clean skin to be on a fresh pillow. Since I made this switch, I don’t break out as much on my cheeks (dirty pillowcases can cause some serious pimples).

Haircare: Shower Edition

Brush your hair with a wet brush in the shower. It’s mane-changing. It’ll evenly spread the conditioner and remove knots and tangles. Plus, it eliminates me having to brush again post-shower, and my hair air-dries with more body.

How to tame that mane

For hair that’s frizzy or overrun by static, rub a dryer sheet through your strands. Seriously. It eliminates static and also adds a pleasant scent to day-old hair.

Depuffing

Too little sleep or under-eye bags? Keep a spoon in the freezer and hold it under your eyes to eliminate puffiness and aid in blood circulation. Works every time!

Multipurpose Product

Use a multitasking salve for a quick glow-up on eyelashes, eyebrows, and even cheekbones for a subtle sheen. I apply to brows and lashes to give them a glistening effect when I’m not in the mood to go all out on mascara and brow products.

The Perfect Wing

For liquid liner that really lasts, dip an eyeliner brush into waterproof mascara and draw a line directly onto your upper lash line.

How to get the perfect Model brows

For that extra bushy brow effect, apply brow gel from the tail inward first, then reapply from inner eye to tail. It gives the brows volume and the illusion of thickness (try it with a tinted brow gel for a more pronounced brow).

Double Cleanse your ways to good skin

Looking for an all-natural makeup remover/first cleanse? Go with coconut oil. It’s ideal for gently and effectively removing all traces of makeup, even on sensitive complexions. I suggest following with an actual cleanse after, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

Eyecream and it’s many uses

I also use eye cream around my mouth to help minimize fine lines and plump my lips. This area is often overlooked, and while we have a lip balm for our actual lips, we rarely take care of the entire mouth area. Once I finish applying eye cream around my eyes, I always take the remainder and dab it around my mouth.

Illuminating Hacks

For a tinted body lotion with punch, mix foundation (one to two shades darker than your skin tone if you’re looking for a tanned effect) with a dollop of liquid illuminizer and lotion, and apply to the entire body. It covers imperfections and redness, evens skin tone, and gives your gams that overall coveted glow. Just wait a beat before putting on your clothes, as the foundation will transfer.
