The more uses we can give a cosmetic, the better for our schedule and also for our pockets. We will simplify tasks quite a bit and we won't have to go crazy trying to find products that work. In this sense, coconut oil is the king of the track but there are many other cosmetics that can do you more than one favor at the same time.
Beauty products with various uses
- Makeup palettes. If you do not wear makeup regularly, it is not worth investing large amounts in making a toiletry bag full of different products that you will hardly take advantage of before they expire. To do this, it is best to get a palette that includes shadows, blushes, highlighter, bronzer … there is something for everyone.
- Lips and cheeks. Another good way to save is to get sticks or dyes that serve as lipstick and blush. Some are also used to make up the eyes and even the body.
- Nails . You only need one product to hydrate your hands, your cuticles and also your nails . And another to protect, restore and color them. This is how it's nice to get a manicure!
- Eyebrows and eyelashes. If your goal is for them to be hydrated and also grow stronger and stronger, you can achieve it with a single serum. If what you are looking for is to fix them and give them prominence too, a transparent mascara is enough.
- Oils . Coconut, rosehip, and tea tree oils also have a ton of uses. The first two hydrate any area of the body but also, coconut is used to make hair masks and as a lip balm. The rosehip makes any type of mark disappear (scars, burns, stretch marks …) and the tea tree is used to dry and heal pimples avoiding their complete appearance and also to relieve insect bites and eczema.
