Small Tip #5: Lemon

Have you tried many different products in the fight against your skin’s breakouts? And with none of them really making a difference compared to the money you spent on the actual product? My skin has had a tendency to flip out around my period, which I was tired off dealing with. Thus, I went back to the good old trick of water and lemon.

There are so many health benefits to drinking lemon and water – I won’t list them all because they are a simply google search away. But water is always good because you should hydrate your body, and the water in combination with lemon can give your health and skin a great boost. It is such a simple and cheap addition to your water.

You simply cut the lemon in half and then squeeze the lemon for its juices. Add the juice into your water and then… bottoms up! The taste is something to get used to, admittedly. After having done with for a week, I saw big improvements in my skin – the breakout wasn’t as bad and it took a shorter time for it to ‘bounce’ back.

Do you drink lemon and water?  

Until next time,

Small Tip #4: Use It Up

Are you one of those that can’t be bothered to cut open a tube or any other material that a scissor can get through and scoop out the last bit of product? Or maybe, there is another replacement product standing ready that is simply more exciting? I easily recognize both feelings, especially the latter reason. I have an almost child-like excitement about new products I have never tried out before. It just feels like Christmas to me.

However, whether you realize it or not that ends up costing you money. If you just almost use up your products then you end up throwing a lot out in the long run, which only benefits companies and not you. You throw money in the trash, basically.

You probably earned your money the hard way, so you should definitely get every bit you paid for. It is only right. Furthermore, you can actually get quite an amount out of cutting a tube as my picture illustrate. The product I got out of the cutting the tube is enough for moisturize both of my legs twice. That is a lot in my opinion and especially when considering that tube isn’t cheap for a student like me. Whatever product that is waiting in line can wait a little time longer without a problem.

So, take a pair of scissors and cut the tube open, disassemble the bottle, etc., just do something to get out the product you paid for. Use it up!

Until next time,
