DIY Frozen Aloe Vera Facials
@theherbiesthi How to ice the face using frozen Aloe cubes! #cryotherapy #facialicing #aloevera #aloeveraskincare #antiacne #skincareroutine #naturalskincare #holisticesthetician
Aloe vera is no stranger to skincare. Simply because it’s so beneficial for the skin. It’s commonly used as a gel on the face, but using it as frozen cubes is even more effective and hassle-free. Click here to learn how to make aloe vera cubes. Rubbing ice cold aloe vera cubes on your face helps shrink pores, tone the skin, reduce redness and reduce acne lesions. Since they’re frozen, be mindful to not rub them on one spot for too long, as this can damage tissues. Rub in circular motions and you don’t have to wash it off.
Icing Your Face
@tudkun Reply to @melishassan If you don’t ice your face, your missing out 😔 #tudkunwomen #skincare #facialice #facial
Just like how some would freeze facial massagers, you can use ice cubes to chill your face. Every day, especially first thing in the morning, rubbing some ice on your face will help with acne, puffiness, redness, and dull skin. And doing this right before applying your skincare and makeup works wonders. You can use regular ice cubes or ice cubes prepared from other liquids, such as green tea or aloe vera juice.

Retinoid Hack
@natalie_oneillll Thoughts, feelings, emotions? #skincaretipsandhack #skincarerules #howtouseretinol #retinolsandwich #tretinointips #tipsforskincare
For novices, adding retinol to your beauty regimen might be challenging, but thanks to @natalie_oneillll, we have 5 pointers for using retinoids effectively! The first piece of advice is to use retinol on dry skin. This is because applying retinoid to damp or wet skin will speed up its absorption, which in turn can make your skin more sensitive. Apply retinoids to clean, dry skin to gain the maximum benefits while avoiding the irritation that comes with taking them. Next is to apply it at night. Despite what some might think, it’s not because they make your skin more susceptible to sunlight, but because retinoids are weakened by sunlight, therefore using them in the daytime may reduce their effectiveness.
Retinoids are frequently misused since they are exclusively applied as spot treatments, which is a typical error. They do, in fact, aid in the treatment of acne, but if you really want to benefit from them, you should use them all over your face to obtain their anti-aging properties as well. The next piece of advice is to hold the item up to your neck. The skin on our necks is sensitive and ages similarly to the skin on our faces. Last but not least, avoid using it with other acids. Save the acids for another day because our goal is to reduce irritation as much as possible while still receiving all of retinol’s benefits.
Mask Hack
@andreeapletea that’s how I’m going to apply the mask from now on 😳 #mask #skincare #skincarehack
Despite what skincare companies may claim, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all face mask for everyone. We constantly have some extra mask hanging off our faces, wasting plenty of delicious moisturizing substances and serums. But that issue has been resolved thanks to @andreeapletea. All you have to do is cut your face mask three times. On your chin, between your eyes, and between your nose and lips. Afterward, you can modify the face mask’s fit and arrange them to suit the contours of your face. You get to enjoy all the advantages of face masks while producing no trash!
Double Cleansing
@thatsotee step by step how to cleanse your face 🥰 watch @thatsotee for bubble maker cleansing hack! #cleansingtips #doublecleanse #skincaretips #skincareroutine #beautytips
Maintaining happy, healthy, and bright skin involves cleansing it at least once daily. To make sure you’re completely freeing your skin of the day’s debris, perspiration, sunscreen, makeup, and grime, double washing goes one step further. @thatsotee teaches a simple way to cleanse your face using the double cleanse method using an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser. Using an oil-based cleanser is important especially if you have makeup on because it helps remove impurities and makeup that are stuck in your pores. Once you’re done, use water-based cleanser. Make the cleanser foamy because they seep into the pores to dry out the dirt and impurities. Also, the foam acts like a cushion to guard your skin against hard rubbing.
Teabags For Puffy Eyes
@nae_2k That’s the tea on tea 🍵 #teatoner #teabag #tea #sipstea #skincarehack #skincaretips #skincaresecrets #greentea #greenteabenefits #benefitsoftea #allnatural #allnaturalskincare #skininflammation
This is an old hack, but it definitely work wonders. Tea contains caffeine, which helps to tighten blood vessels and eliminate extra fluid. Which is why this hack works. @poshlocal shows a simple way for you to do this. Start by steeping your teabag in some hot water like you would normally do. After a few minutes, remove the teabag and rub it all over your face. You can even follow @cermbeauty‘s method, where she places the teabag in the fridge after steeping it. After a few minutes, use the cold teabag as a cold compress for puffy eyes and your skin.
