Brilliant Uses for Baby Powder You’ve Never Considered

Baby Powder is not only for babies. In fact, there are many different uses for baby powder that you probably never consider.

1 Use as a Dry Shampoo

Though you may wash your hair regularly, it can still look greasy  especially if you are prone to an oily scalp or have a build up of hair products. This gives the impression that your hair is unclean and can be frustrating, especially since overwashing your hair can sometimes increase oil production. Why to spend so much on dry shampoo…Baby Powder is much cheeper way to use it as a dry shampoo.

HOW TO Apply Baby Powder To Your Hair

1. Gently shake some powder onto your palms, then rub your hands together so the powder is evenly spread on your fingertips and palms (and you don’t see any big white clumps).
2. Now run your fingers through the root area of your hair. Massaging your scalp with your powdery fingers will help soak up the grease and mattify oily roots.
3. Using a natural boar bristle brush, brush hair from root to tip to evenly distribute the powder all the way down the hair shaft. Hair is always more greasy in the root area than near the tips, which is why you want to apply the powder to the scalp and then brush it downwards. Boar bristles help grab the baby powder and slide it down the hair shaft, which is why natural bristle brushes work better than plastic or rubber brushes.

2. Use As a Pet Shampoo

Not only does baby powder work as a dry shampoo for humans, it works for your furry friends, too. If your pet is between baths or you just need to give her a little refreshing, rub a handful or two (depending on the size of your dog or cat) into their fur. Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes and then brush. Not only does it remove oil buildup and make their coats look freshly washed, it’s great smelling so it can eliminate that dog smell that they may have after playing all day. Plus, your dog is sure to prefer dry shampoo to having an all-out bath.

3.Remove Grease Stains on Clothing

Baby powder is great for helping you to keep your favorite clothes looking new by removing grease stains. If you happen to get grease on your clothing, just apply a sprinkling of baby powder to a powder puff or cotton ball and dab at the grease. Rub the powder into the stain really well and then just shake or brush off any powder that is leftover. Repeat until you see that all of the grease has been removed and then launder as normal. The baby powder will bring the grease out of your clothing and keep it from leaving a nasty stain.

TOOTHPASTE & SALT BLACKHEADS CLEARING MASK (DIY)

Everyone wants to have clear skin but the little parasites called as blackheads come in between our dreams. Blackheads and whiteheads are so hard to get rid of them especially when they are small. Trust me I have tried everything to get rid of them but nothing worked as beautifully as “toothpaste”&”salt” mask.

Okay I know what you’re thinking, toothpaste? How? Really? I know it sounds crazy but toothpaste is one of the simplest, cheap and effective ways to get rid of those tiny zits immediately.

Basically blackheads are tiny pimples without skin on them, and because there is no skin, they get in contact with air and moisture and then oxidize and turn into black-brown colour particles called as blackheads.

Now I’m going to tell you most effective and easy home remedy to get rid of blackheads/whiteheads using toothpaste and salt.

Things you’ll need:

• Any mint toothpaste.
• Salt.
• Small bowl to mix.
• Spoon to mix.
• Some ice cubes.

Method:

Step one: Squish out about 2 tablespoon of toothpaste in a mixing bowl.

Step two: Add One part of salt in the toothpaste bowl.

Step three: Mix both of the ingredients well with very little water.

Step Four: Wet your face and then apply this paste on the affected area i.e. chin and nose. Let it sit for around 5-10 minutes. You will probably feel a tingling sensation but don’t worry its normal and it will pass away after few minutes.

Step five: After 10 minutes, wet your fingers and gently massage the area with two fingers in circular motion. Be gentle as harsh massage can harm your skin.

Step Six: Now rinse your face thoroughly with warm water. To close facial pores take one ice-cube and rub it on your face. It will close the pores and will prevent the entry of dirt.

Some Quick Tips:

• Nose might appear red, but the redness will fade away after some time.
• Do not apply this mixture close to eye area as the vapors of mint toothpaste can cause irritation to eyes.
• Dry skin girls must moisturize the skin after the procedure completes.
• It is very important to massage gently.
• Any mint based toothpaste – both gel and white ones work fine. Do not use toothpaste like dabur lal or meshvak (ayurvedic toothpastes).
• Don’t forget to close pores by rubbing ice

I can guarantee you this is very effective. Say no to those painful methods of removing blackheads and the strips that never work.

Hope you will like this DIY.

Perfect Winged Eyeliner Using Tape

Hii..

Winged liner has been trendy for a few years now, so I wanted to give you a trick for doing it in 1 minute.  Yeah..That’s right, just one minute…

Products Needed:

Black or Brown Gel Liner
Bent Eyeliner Brush
Scotch Tape

Simply place the scotch tape along the outer part of your eye- use your lower lash line as a guideline.  Take your bent liner brush or any super small makeup brush and apply the eyeliner along the tape, connecting it to your upper lash line.  You want to fill it in to form a triangle shape- this is what gives the illusion of winged liner.

If you have an extra minute, you can turn your winged liner into a softly smudged cat eye that works great for daytime.  All you need are 2 more products:

Dark Brown Eyeshadow

Eye Smudging Brush

Take a pencil brush and smudge a dark brown eyeshadow (or any color for that matter) on top of your gel liner.  Start to smudge it upwards to smoke out the liner, staying close to your lash line as well as the tape you placed on earlier.  All you’re doing is turning the winged liner into a smudged out cat eye shape by “smoking out” the eyeshadow.

I hope this helps you all in your makeup looks when you’re in a hurry! Makeup doesn’t have to take a long time- it’s all about the technique and tools.
