Making your skincare go that extra mile.

I need this thread. More tips and hacks, please.

I love experimenting with new ingredients. Currently going crazy over trying out Ghee (Clarified butter) in my routine. Tried using it as nightcream and although the effect was good, the smell would change from nice caramelly to old butter and didn’t like that (obviously)…so now trying to find skincare products with Ghee in them.
Next on my experiment list is – Ghee based hair mask 😛

Fresh Aloe Vera is my holy grail I use it on both my skin and hair. Breakouts, tired skin, big pores, and dry hair all with this!… I use it along with store bought products and the combination works really well.

I try to compare my expensive serums with cheaper ones like the ordinary. If they ordinary has the same or more active ingredients I give that a go and see if there is any difference. I have saved hundreds and hundreds just on a few serums. The prices are insane and I haven’t looked back yet.

Interesting that you mention glycerin as I recently was reading about how it is used as a hair serum to stop frizz and nourish and also used to boost a lot of serums with questionable ingredients ( looking at you Genifique lol) as it makes skin feel smooth, plump and soft. It’s really cheap too and lasts forever. Think you can get it woolies or Coles but I’ve not tried yet.

A while ago BH did a brief article about eye drops applied to skin removes dark circles under the eyes. Pity it lacked detail on which particular type of eyedrops but I researched and found an article by Harpers (I think, I’ll find it on my computer when I’m home and link it) and it’s anti redness eye drops. I’ve tried for a month now and it’s made a huge difference and I don’t need as much concealer.

Hi Lucy, I have viewed the website and it has good step by step videos to show the safe way to do home chemical peels. There are a few I have tried and they do work well.

Exfoliating at least once a week and retaining smooth skin creates a surface for your skin care to become more effective and ultimately requires less of the product to be used.
