Keeping your skin smooth and clear can be tricky, and popular skincare brands are not only useless but also expensive sometimes. But these quick hacks make it easier.
Baking soda scrub
Lately, baking soda is being championed as the be-all and end-all of green cleaning and natural beauty.
First, make a paste of 3 parts baking soda and one part water. Then, rinse your face with water and your normal soap then gently rub the paste onto your face. After that, rinse it with water once you’ve covered your whole face. This can also work as a face cleanser for sensitive skin.
Face Mask for Chapped Lips
Lip masks are a simple, fun way to keep your lips soft and smooth. Here’s a honey and coconut oil mask:
You’ll need 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
You’ll want to soften the coconut oil a bit before you mix it with the honey. You can either put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds or put it in a pan on the stove on low heat for about two minutes.
After the coconut oil is soft, simply mix it with the honey and apply it to your lips. This mask is a super-effective way to fight off lip lines.
