9 Beauty and skincare techniques that actually work

1. Use micellar water when face cleaning isn't possible

Micellar water on a reusable cotton pad removes makeup and grime without much effort after a night out or when you don't want to undertake the full skincare routine. 

2. Stick your skincare products in the refrigerator

Skin care products in the bathroom are practical, but chilled moisturizers and serums give a touch of elegance to daily skincare.

3. Apply foundation with your hands, not brushes

When applying foundation with your fingertips, you get a flawless, natural finish, especially when using a cream-based product.

4. Buy multipurpose products

Reduce your makeup process by utilizing versatile products, such as tinted moisturizer and color sticks that can be used as lip color and cheek stain. 

5. Make a cheap DIY sugar scrub

Exfoliating with sugar scrubs is affordable and effective. This scrub is too abrasive for delicate facial skin but great for lips and is delicious. 

6.  Never skip SPF

Few things are more clinically proven to fight aging than sunscreen, which also lowers the risk of severe skin diseases such as melanoma.

7. Hydrating sheet masks decrease dryness while traveling

Despite its silliness, a moisturizing sheet mask is the best method to avoid that parched, flaky feeling after a long trip or vehicle ride.

8. Use hydrocolloid patches to cover blemishes seamlessly

Hydrocolloid patches have made concealing pimples and other imperfections extremely simple.

9. Don't throw away your old mascara wands

Soak it in makeup remover, then completely dry it before using the wand to brush out your own lashes when they're clumpy or to comb stray eyebrows.
