5 Beauty Hacks Every Twenty-Something Should Know

There are just a few things twenty-somethings should know. One of them is definitely beauty tips & tricks, and that’s why today I’m sharing five beauty hacks every young adult absolutely needs. You don’t need to be a beauty guru to master these hacks, they’re so simple! And believe me, you’ll be asking yourself how you’ve never heard of these before. These are sure ways to up your beauty game and it doesn’t take much to pull them off. Get ready for your lives to change ladies and gents!

1. Moisturize 60 Seconds After Cleansing

The first of the beauty hacks is moisturize almost immediately after cleansing. I’m sure we are all guilty of getting distracted after washing our faces; we end up forgetting about our skin for a few minutes, and before long, our clean face starts to dehydrate. As soon as you dry your face, you should be applying a toner moisturizer or a cream moisturizer: this ensures that moisture is locked into your skin. Make sure that when you start cleaning your skin, this beauty hack is your #1 priority. This is absolutely one of the most fundamental beauty hacks because it’s the starting point to better skin.

2. Use Saline Solution to Extend the Life of Mascara

The second beauty hack is a tip on how to extend the life of your mascara. This can be done by adding a few drops of saline solution to it and letting it sit for about ten minutes. Who hasn’t been getting ready for a big event and realized that the mascara is almost out? It always happens at the most inconvenient times, and you obviously never have a backup. That’s why adding saline drops is the perfect solution! It brings that dry mascara back to life for a few more weeks – or months! This means you can save a little money and get more life out of your favorite product. This is a hidden beauty hack we should all try!

3. Make A Fist To Find The Perfect Blush

The third beauty hack is made to help you find the perfect blush for your skin tone. Who has not struggled with finding the perfectly nuanced blush? Do I choose a deeper red, light pink, rose, coral, neutral…. the options are endless. Well, this beauty hack comes to the rescue! All you have to do is make a fist and hold it up to a range of blush shades. Once you make your fist, find the blush shade that matches your pressed down fingers and palm. This is a beauty hack that can save you from buying the wrong blush.

4. Use A Toothbrush To Tame Hairline Frizz

The fourth of the beauty hacks is how to tame your hair frizz. We’ve all had those days where our hair is uncontrollable. Our hairs are flying everywhere, and we have too much to do. This beauty hack is here to save you when you’re in a bind. Take a toothbrush, spray it with hairspray and brush down the frizz. This is one of the simplest beauty hacks, but it’s also the most effective. I tried this beauty hack, and it is one of my favorites.

5. Apply Dry Shampoo The Evening Before, Not The Morning Of

This is the fifth and final beauty hack. We’ve been using dry shampoo wrong all this time. My friends and I have all been applying it in the morning. We lightly spray it in our hair and then brush it out. Not anymore! Dry shampoo should be sprayed in the night before. This allows the dry shampoo to work through your hair and you will wake up with more volume. This is one of those beauty hacks that I’m sure none of us have given much thought to. However, it definitely is a more effective way to apply dry shampoo.
