Any beauty-crazed gal knows the ins and outs of
beauty products
and fancy tools. But, many of us (yes, MDC gals included) aren’t as
educated on the products that make us pretty that you can’t find in the
beauty aisle. Check out these five little gems that will definitely
surprise you…and more importantly, change your beauty game for good!
Enjoy!
1. Humidifier
Although it’s typically a go-to when you’re feeling stuffed-up and gross, humidifiers are also the ultimate moisturizers and hydrators
for your skin. These steamy devices are great at keeping your skin
supple, especially in the winter months when the air is dry and windy.
Leave your humidifier on as you sleep and you’ll be waking up to lovely,
hydrated skin. It brings new meaning to the term “beauty sleep!”
2. Silk Pillowcase
Consider this an excuse to splurge on fancy new
pillowcases! Silk does wonders for your skin and your hair! Because it’s
a natural material, it’s hypoallergenic (good!) and it’s also packed
with amino acids (really good!). Did we mention it absorbs moisture and
adjusts to all temperatures? (Really, really good!) That means your skin
won’t be sticking to a sweaty pillowcase and accumulating pore-clogging oils, while your hair stays soft and static free as you snooze. Yes, please!
3. Water Purifier
Shower time is one of the most important steps in your skincare routine. Showering the right way
can mean the difference between dry, brittle hair and hair with mega
shine! Unfiltered, hard water contains tons of chlorine and toxins,
which can really take their toll on your skin and strands. This is why
water purifiers in the form of showerhead filters are HUGE. These little
bad boys help improve hair and skin hydration and increase shine and
manageability.
4. Baby Powder
Why should babies have all the fun? Indulge in
your inner infant and do a little beautifying! Baby powder is great for
absorbing oil and it can also help step up your lash game! Get faux lashes
without the “faux” by dipping a cotton swab in baby powder and coating
lashes after applying mascara (after). Then apply another coat of
mascara and, voila, thick, lovely lashes will magically appear!
5. Coconut Oil
If Mother Nature had a beauty store, coconut oil
would be her star product. Loaded with essential vitamins and
nutrients, coconut oil is the ultimate moisturizer
for your skin and hair. Use it as an overnight hair mask or as a
moisturizer for your face and body. You can also mix it with a little
sugar and you’ve got yourself a scrub!
