QUICK, EASY, AND CHEAP

Three of my favorite words. Put them together and you have the ability to get out the door quickly with little or no money with what you have around.

QUICKEST EVER FACIAL

Dip a washcloth in very warm water and apply it over your face for about thirty seconds. Quickly apply your favorite face cream to lock in the moisture.

Removing Makeup

Don’t use an oily makeup remover, especially around the eye. If you have to use one with oil (for instance to remove waterproof makeup) mix it with water.

3-IN-1 TREATMENT

In just a minute, you’ll cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize at the same time.

Combine one-quarter cup plain yogurt and one teaspoon lemon juice. Run over face in a circular motion. Rinse with cool water.

LIP FIX

Apply petroleum jelly on your lips, and gently rub with a toothbrush or washcloth.

SKIN TIGHTENER

Spread warm, wet coffee grounds on your face and let set for thirty seconds. The caffeine will tighten and firm. Rinse with warm water.

HEAL A PAPER CUT

Apply a drop of super glue. Then dab on petro­leum jelly.

GET RID OF CHAFING

Apply cornstarch directly from the box to the friction points (parts that rub together). Cornstarch is an anti-chafing, extremely absorbent powder.
