Living in today’s modern age allows us to benefit the various innovations that technology has brought.

This can do more harm than good since constantly neglecting basic self-care can take a toll on our bodies.

Some turn to easy to use products like Sulwhasoo on their day to day treatments. For the busy person on the go, here are some time saving beauty hacks to help you get started:


Drink Green tea

A steaming cup of green tea is laden with antioxidants that help keep your skin smooth and soft. The steam from the hot water will also help unclog your pores. Consider switching your favorite mug of coffee for green tea instead so you can enjoy all the added benefits!

Ice for eye bags

Got puffy eyes from doing an all-nighter? Apply some ice on your eye bags to reduce puffiness instantly. Remember to wrap ice cubes in a clean face towel before applying to the face to avoid stings.

Use Baking Soda

After a quick cold shower, mix a pinch of baking soda and a few drops of water to create a paste. Apply some on your toothbrush and use it to whiten your teeth.

Dry shampoo

If you don’t have time to wash your hair, consider using some dry shampoo instead. These handy product soaks up excess oil and grease in your hair while also providing volume.

To use dry shampoo correctly, remember to spray only in the oily areas to avoid excessive dryness. Avoid holding the canister too close to your scalp and massage your scalp after to distribute the product evenly. Don’t use dry shampoo for more than two days in a row since our scalp also requires cleaning.

Pull it back!

When you don’t have time to do your hair, relax and put it in a neat ponytail or chignon with simple elastic hair bands and hair pins. You’ll look more chic, sleek, and definitely professional without trying!

Apply coconut oil

Coconut oil is a must-have for any beauty regimen since it contains natural nourishing, antibacterial, and moisturizing properties. Save some time and cash by using coconut oil as your moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup remover.

Quick makeup fix

If you don’t have time to apply concealer, foundation, and other creams, you should try investing in some pressed powder instead. Many women apply pressed powder for quick fix since it can even out skin tone, cover blemishes, and provide your skin with a dewy glow.

Create Homemade Face Mist

Fast mists are a great way to hydrate your skin throughout the day. Just spray some on your face and allow your skin to absorb some of its hydrating properties without smudging your makeup!
Fortunately there are various formulas available so you can make your own homemade face mist.
What You Will Need:
-1-2 lemon peels
-1 Vitamin E gel capsule
-1 empty spray bottle
-1 cup boiled water
Instructions:
-After boiling water, let it sit in the pot for a while. Remove peels from lemons and allow it to sit in the water overnight.
-The next day, pour Vitamin E essence into peel water. Use a needle to poke the end of the gel capsule and squeeze out its contents.
-Stir contents before pouring in spray bottle. Let concoction sit in the refrigerator and allow it to cool. Use face mist if you need an instant pick-me-up wherever you go.

Baby wipes for makeup remover

After a long day of work, taking off one’s makeup can seem like a chore especially when you just want to get in bed as soon as possible. This habit may actually do more harm than good since makeup residue can easily clog our pores and create breakouts. To remove stubborn makeup easily, dab some coconut oil on a cotton ball and dab your face. Let it sit before wiping the oil and makeup with baby wipes. It’ll come off quick!

When it comes to getting ready in the morning, many of us have our own set routines and schedules. For some it may take longer to finish which can be a hassle if they might be late.

While another solution is to wake up earlier next time, it also helps to learn some quick and handy beauty tips so you’ll be ready to face the day’s challenges! The minute you come home after, don’t forget to take some time to relax so you can sleep better and wake up happier too!

So, what other beauty hacks have you tried to save time in the morning?

While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
