Little pretty secrets

There are so many little secrets hiding in our everyday lives.

Here are just a few...

Extra virgin olive oil -
Great eye makeup remover (a few drops on cotton pad)

Coconut oil -
natural balm cleanser for dry skin/good treatment for knees and elbows

TCP - that not-so-lovely throat gargling anti-septic
= cotton bud - spot (zap!)

Witch hazel -
 brings down inflamation on face, tones and heals spots

Aspirin -
 great crushed as a mask for problem skin, or dissolved in a mist to brings redness down

Milk of magnesia -
Great mask/base for oily skin - soaks up the excess oils


Now for the double-use beauties

Facial cleansing oil = brush cleaner

Toothpick = brow brusher/lower lash mascara wand

Eye primer = undereye concealer primer

Rich moisturiser = cleanser before makeup
(so skin isn't too greasy)

Simple but effective
