Are you ever stuck on a particular part of your beauty routine, or find yourself wondering if maybe there’s a better way, or “hack”, to get the results you want? Well, you’re in luck! Beauty by Earth reached out to a handful of some of our favorite beauty babes via Instagram for their expertise. Keep reading for some of the best natural beauty hacks.
Product Tips
You’ve got the products…now what’s the best way to use them? It’s true, the way you apply your skincare goodies can affect whether or not you’re getting the most out of them. Never fear! These gals have got you covered with some of their natural beauty hacks.
Apply Products While Your Skin is Damp
“I like to add my oils and serums when my skin is damp from toner—it seems to absorb or hydrate better.“
“I use washable rounds or cloths versus wipes or cotton to cleanse or add products and always carry a mini moisturizer with me for extra dry skin days. Finally, I chose a Hydrating concealer to help with under-eye dryness, that way if I’m in a rush and don’t use my BBE coffee bean eye cream, my skin doesn’t suffer as much” -Lesa, @lesa_cap

Hydration is a Must
“My favorite beauty hack is hydration. Hydration is much different from moisturizing, which is where people get confused. Skin still needs moisture, even if it is oily, it just needs the right kind. “
When we get a product that is meant to hydrate, that means bring rejuvenation to the skin. Properly hydrated skin can help minimize some of the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. To properly hydrate, you don’t necessarily need to use that product every day, a couple of days a week will work fine!” -Kara, @thestylineducator

Natural Beauty Hacks for Hair Health
Shiny, strong hair is a goal most people strive for. Besides factors such as a well-rounded diet consisting of things like protein and omega-3s, usage of heat, hair washing habits, etc., you can implement these natural beauty hacks to take things to the next level.
Brushes and Oil
“I only use wooden brushes on my hair to stimulate and promote healthy growth. And I always apply some kind of oil. I love to use the Beauty by Earth argan oil which I use in different ways depending.“
“For Example, to de-frizz and detangle after the shower, as a prep when I go to workout I use about 4-6 drops all over my hair to protect it from sweat as well as from the sun that causes free radicals and premature aging in hair.” –Dulcia Elizabeth Caro

Chapstick Highlighter
“What I love to do is use a lip balm, this one does happen to be from Beauty by Earth, as a highlighter.”

Removing Makeup
“The ultimate beauty hack for me, say ‘me too’ if this is something you do, is removing my mascara with a Q-tip and sometimes a clean mini mascara wand.“
“This is my go-to technique to ensure the mascara is properly removed from my lashes. So, what exactly is it that I do? First, I take two Q-tips. I wet both ends of each Q-tip with water. Then I apply cleansing oil to each end(s). I hold one end of the Q-tip under the lash and roll the other end on the top of my lash moving it across the entire lash until there’s no more residue on the Q-tip. I occasionally use a clean mini mascara wand just to comb through the lashes to help shape them or remove any leftover mascara, but this is not necessary.” – Keneisha M.

Wash Your Sheets
“Wash your pillowcases regularly.“
-Svetlana, @ethicalbunny
She’s right! Your face stays in contact with your pillowcase for extended periods of time, all the while building up dead skin, dirt, oil, etc. Changing out your pillowcase frequently will lessen the chance of breakouts occurring as a result and is absolutely one of the best natural beauty hacks
