You don't have to worry about not having a shaving cream at home if you already have coconut oil!

Coconut oil works just the same as a shaving cream. It helps the razor to glide over your skin easily and prevents razor burns or cuts. Once you are done with shaving, you can apply coconut oil again and massage it in well. It will restore the moisture into your skin that gets stripped off when you shave!

Beauty brands from Korea have popularized the concept of “pimple patches” or “anti-blemish patches” that claim to heal active pimples overnight and make their appearance significantly less! They are a concentrated treatment for pimples. But such kind of a product is still not widely accessible across the globe.

Don't worry, you can easily DIY these patches at home using band-aids! Since the pimple patches are made with hydrocolloid, you can just use hydrocolloid band-aids on your pimples. They can be bought from any medical store or perhaps, you may already have them in your first aid box! Cut them in small pieces using clean scissors, put them right above your pimples and leave them on overnight. By the time you will wake-up, the size of your pimples will be reduced and they would not appear to be as red or irritated!

Ran out of your makeup remover or forgot to carry one for your trip? You can use your moisturizer to do the same job if you happen to have one besides you. Just any kind of moisturizer would work well. This trick of using a moisturizer to remove makeup is especially useful for people with dry skin as makeup removers tend to further dry out the skin, but a moisturizer would not do that!

Moreover, you can use the moisturizer to remove eye makeup without irritating your eyes! Dip a Q-tip into some moisturizer and use it carefully to remove eyeliner, eyeshadow or mascara. Just make sure you don't get any moisturizer in your eyes!
