Ever get tired of spending hundreds of $$ at the drug store on overpriced beauty products? Especially when most of them don't even come close to working? Don't we all. Here are just a few beauty tips and tricks that will allow you to bypass the cosmetics/lotions/potions aisles.
Got dandruff? Don't be ashamed, millions of others do too. Don't waste your money on all the treatments/shampoos out there. Take care of it with a little vinegar. Simple white vinegar will work fine. Just massage it into your scalp, then let it dry for a few minutes (10 will do it). Then wash your hair like normal. Don't worry - the smell comes out if you wash it thoroughly. You won't walk around smelling like a salad.
Don't even get me started on the facial masks sold in stores. DON'T BUY THEM! You can make your own all natural mask at home with sometimes much better results. Here's one I use all the time:
1 tsp plain yogurt
the juice of 1/4 of an orange
Stir the ingredients together and then use your fingertips to spread onto your face. Leave it on for 5 minutes or so and then rinse. Your face will be cleansed, and the Vitamin C is fantastic for your skin.
Got stained fingernails or nails that just aren't as white as you'd like them? Just mix some water and lemon juice and simply soak your nails in the mixture.
Those are just a few homemade beauty tips/tricks that will save you a lot of money (not to mention frustration). There are thousands of other tips on the web, just do a simple search.

Thanks for submitting your post to Carnival of Tips. My skin can get dry sometimes, so my favorite facial mask is an oatmeal and milk paste. Some people use lemon or baking soda, but there are hundreds of recipes on the web. I also love almond oil for my nails - it leaves them shiny and strong.
