Maintaining our overall beauty can be tricky at times what with varying opinions being bandied about, not to mention dozens upon dozens of beauty products being promoted left and right. Sometimes, though, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on skin care products, hair products, and the like because there are a lot of beauty secrets that you can actually try out. You might be surprised to find out that you’ve been missing on a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to maintaining your beauty. Here are some beauty secrets to get you started.

Beer or vinegar rinse 

Is your hair looking dull and dry? Do you want to give back its natural shine? Well, why not try some beer or apple cider vinegar rinse? These two can help bring back moisture to your otherwise, dull looking hair with vinegar giving your locks that extra shine. Just rinse your hair with either beer or vinegar and allow it to stay on your hair for a few minutes. Give it a final rinse and you’re done. You’ll feel that your hair is softer and shinier afterwards. 

Green tea face wash 

Wrinkles and other signs of aging are bound to appear when we don’t care for our skin properly. But instead of lathering on creams and serums or even using Botox to banish signs of aging, why not use some green tea face wash instead? Green tea contains plenty of antioxidants that can fight off free radicals while giving your skin its much needed nutrients. Prepare some green tea and place in the fridge to cool it down. Wash your face with it afterwards to help remove any impurities. 

De-puff eyes with raw potatoes 

Waking up to puffy eyes can be a bummer but instead of just waiting for the puffiness to go away, try using raw potatoes to get rid of the excess water on the skin underneath your eyes. Wash and peel a potato first then cut two slices. Place them on your closed eyes and lie down for 10 minutes. This will give the potatoes time to work its magic on your eyes. Wash your face afterwards with lukewarm water. 

Cut down on sugar 

If you want to have soft lips, then you have to cut back on your sugar consumption. Too much sugar can actually affect your skin’s condition and this doesn’t mean triggering acne breakout alone but even how your lips look like. 

Lemon juice and chamomile tea for lighter hair

 Made a mistake with your hair dye? Or do you just want to make your hair a little bit lighter in color? Instead of bleaching your hair using dye, why not mix some chamomile tea and lemon juice and use it to rinse your hair with? The combination of chamomile and lemon juice can help lighten your hair especially when you let the sun dry your hair. 

Use a wooden comb 

Do you want to keep your hair straight with less frizz? According to the hair experts, it is better to use a wooden comb rather than the plastic ones as it causes less friction between your hair strands. Not only that, wooden combs can help stimulate your scalp which promotes better hair growth.
