This wonderful thing called olive oil
Olive oil has many benefits, such as:
- Can moisturize cuticles
- Comb a small amount of olive oil through damp hair to tame frizzyness
- Apply a small amount with a Q-tip onto a stuck zipper, and should help ease it out
- Mix olive oil and sugar for a deep and moisturizing face scrub
- Conditions leather, rub in and let sit for 30 minutes, then wipe away any excess
- Rub onto chapped lips
- Great for removing makeup in delicate areas like the eyes
- Have a sunburn? Rub on olive oil to help soothe and prevent peeling
- Dandruff? Massage a small amount into the scalp to moisturize
DIY: Pore strips
Biore Pore Strips costs about $12.00 for a box. Why spend the money when you have all the ingredients to make them at home! Follow these quick and easy steps!
Ingredients: Any kind of milk (not soy or almond), unflavored gelatin
Things needed: Measuring spoons, a container to mix in (microwaveable), something to apply mixture onto skin (Makeup sponge, Q-tip, etc.)
Now that you have these things, let’s get started! Make sure your face is washed before applying the mask!
Step 1: Measure Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin into a container
Step 2: Add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk into the gelatin
Step 3: Mix it up, and be quick about it, until you get a chunky consistency. Add a tiny bit more of milky if it seems too chunky.
Step 4: Microwave for 10-15 seconds. The mixture will even out and begin to get creamier in the mircowave.
Step 5: Apply directly to face. It will be slightly warm, but if it is left to cool down, it will harden and you will be unable to apply this onto your skin.
Step 6: Allow the mask (pore strips) to sit on face for a minimum for 15 minutes. It must harden and crack before it will peel correctly.
Step 7: Peel away all the gelatin, wash face and moisturize and voila! A soft, black head free face. :)
