It’s easy to switch out expensive beauty products for low-cost items you can find in your kitchen! Adding oats to your bath to give you soft skin is just one easy change!
As we put on our shorts and tank-tops to bear the summer heat, we sometimes splurge on expensive lotions and beauty products to make our skin look smooth and flawless. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Sometimes the best beauty remedies are hiding in plain sight in your house. Security State Bank wants you to save money this summer, and these beauty hacks will help you stay on budget and still feel fabulous!
Firm up with a coffee ground wrap
Skip fancy anti-cellulite lotions and creams and use coffee grounds you would have thrown away! Mix one-fourth of a cup of warm coffee grounds and pour one tablespoon of olive oil on the grounds. Put the grounds on the areas of your skin you want to tighten, then wrap the areas in plastic wrap. Leave it on for about 12 minutes, then take off the wrap and shower off using warm water. The caffeine helps to tighten skin for a couple of hours.
Make a homemade body scrub
Mix your favorite body wash with brown sugar to create an exfoliator for cheap! This is a great way to get rid of scaly, dry summer skin.
Get soft skin with oats
Dry skin or sunburn? Calm it by adding oatmeal to your bath. It’s a natural skin-soother and makes for soft summer skin.
Whiten with baking soda
Add a little baking soda to your toothpaste to remove stains without the expensive whitening strips or gel.
De-puff with tea bags
Get rid of under-eye bags and puffiness by holding cold tea bags to them for six minutes. The caffeine de-puffs and tightens skin.
Skip toner, use apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a purifying agent and astringent, so it works the same as a costly toner.
Use spray starch as dry shampoo
Most dry shampoo contains starch to absorb oiliness, so skip the expensive product and use spray starch to de-grease your hair.
Security State Bank knows it’s fun to save money and still get what you want. Using these beauty hacks can help eliminate unnecessary costs every month, so instead of heading to the beauty aisle, look in your kitchen cabinets for these beauty hacks first!
