Pinterest hosts the largest amount of beauty hacks on the internet, but here are ten that are actually easy, affordable, and use common grocery products.

 

Some good products to have on hand are….

  • Baking soda (good for exfoliation)

  • Honey (brightening and fighting)

  • Lemon (brightening agent)

  • Coconut Oil (good for cooking and moisturizing and cleansing)

 

  1. Honey + Cinnamon = Mix this into a thick paste and apply it anywhere from 15 mins to overnight to helps get rid of acne and fade scars

  2. Honey + Sugar + Oil = Lip Exfoliator

  3. Honey + Coconut Oil = Dry Hair Mask

  4. Banana Peel + Teeth = Teeth Whitener *Bartol has bananas…*

  5. Baking Soda + Water + Lemon = Teeth Whitener  *You want it to be the consistency of a paste*

  6. Baking Soda + Water = Face exfoliator *mix until it is a paste* or put this mix in your hair to give your strands a detox

  7. Lemon + Water = A natural hair lightener

  8. Ice Cube + Your Gorg face = Closed pores and less redness *Madelaine Petsch aka Cheryl uses this hack so it has to be real*

  9. Makeup + Vaseline/Coconut Oil = DIY Makeup Remover  *I use the vaseline to get rid of my waterproof mascara*

  10. Nail Polish + Fridge = Smoother coat of polish
