BEAUTY TRICKS

THAT DO WORK

Ketchup in your hair, scrubbing your face with sand to get a soft skin, fables and facts aplenty in the wondrous world of beauty. But there are a couple of funny tricks that actually do work. Here they are.

1. Removing your makeup

No makeup left on your face at the end of a workday. Recognisable? Not if you hang above a water cooker in the morning. The steam opens your pores which makes sure that the makeup gets absorbed well. Your look will stay on all day. Cleansing your face at night’s still a must though.

2. Where to keep it

Polishing your nails can sometimes be a rather precise job, but it gets a lot easier when you save the nail polish in the fridge. It’s keeps the polish good and easy to work with. And be honest, doesn’t it look great between your milk and vegetables?

3. Impatient type

Talking about nail polish, do you also polish your nails right before having to leave the house or at night? Only to see it ruined within seconds or with an imprinted bed cover in the morning? Such a waste. Just dip your nails in ice-cold water and the layer dries a lot quicker.

4. Potato head

A bit tired? Cut a potato in parts and put them underneath your eyes. Sounds a bit odd, but potatoes keeps its freshness which you’ll see reflected in your radiant look.

5. The tip for shiny hair

Mayonnaise is the way to go. Let soak for 20 minutes and your lacklustre hair will shine like never before.
