On an extra tight budget in January? So are we…

If you’re a little low on cash this month, don’t fret. The rest of the world is in a similar pinch so we have come up with some Buzzfeed-worthy easy-to-do beauty hacks that won’t require you to purchase any new products.

1. DO IT YOURSELF

Beach and sunshine most likely filled up your super busy bae-cation schedule so we assume your lips are on the dry and peeling side. Instead of purchasing a luxurious lip scrub, make your own. Exfoliate those pretty puckers with a pinch of sugar, lukewarm water and gently rub with an old but clean toothbrush. Pat dry and moisturise with Vaseline.

2. MEND YOUR POUT

Like your lips, if the rest of your body is cracked and peeling too, mix brown sugar and honey into a paste. Buff it all over your skin and rinse off with a lukewarm shower. Voila! Say hello to spa-worthy smooth and radiant skin.

3. TRY IT DRY

If your tresses are on the greasy side but you’ve run out of your favourite shampoo, grab your little one’s baby powder and lightly massage a small amount in and around your roots to absorb any excess oil.

4. MASCARA MADE EASY

Mascara all dried up? Place it in warm water for a couple of minutes to loosen up the dry bits.

5. WATER, WATER, WATER!

Drink water! Seriously BB’s, simply upping your intake of H2O will help keep skin hydrated from the outside in. It also helps to restore elasticity to your skin meaning less wrinkles.
