Darlings, in a perfect world, I’d never wake up too late to wash my hair, and I’d be able to pack up my entire bathroom seamlessly every time I go on a trip. But alas, in the real world, alarm clocks fail and there’s that whole size restriction thing that airlines insist upon. Not to worry though, Darlings ... learn these derm-approved hacks now so that the next time you’re in a beauty pinch, you’ll know just what to do.
Use Eye Drops For Dark Under-Eye Bags Or Circles
Too much partying, a lack of sleep and savoury eats equals a one way ticket to bagsville, as I like to call it. An afternoon snooze and a jug of water may be helpful, but if those two aren’t options, grab a bottle of eye drops! The culprit behind under-eye bags and circles is cortisol, which leads to water retention and blood vessel dilation. Applying eye drops to this thin, delicate area of skin will lighten the circles and squeeze away fluid. Douse a cotton ball and swipe it gently over your eye area, starting at the centre moving outward. The swipe will also help encourage de-puffing.
Use Fabric Softener Sheets For Frizzy Or Greasy Hair
Fabric softener sheets are seriously an all-round fixer. Whether you’re dealing with humidity, traveling (and have picked up the ever-so-sultry eau de airline), or simply don’t have time to wash your locks, they can help! Reach for a nicely-scented dryer sheet, and rub it gently along your hair to tame your mane. The sheet will absorb oil and smooth frizziness (thanks to the sheet’s static), leaving your hair fresh and fragranced instantly.
Use Superglue For Split Or Broken Nails
Sometimes daily life leads to a nick in that perfect nail art. When this happens, don’t stress ... simply reach for a tube of superglue! Put a tiny (I’m talking the size of a pinhead tiny) dab on the affected area, and hold for 15 to 20 seconds while it bonds. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you can salvage! When it comes to split or broken nails, superglue pretty much acts as a liquid Band-Aid ... and a (temporary) fix for nails tears.
