7 Beauty Tips From Your Grandma

There are lots of beauty tips out there, especially new ones that rely on modern inventions and new multi-use products, but today we thought we’d tell you as our some beauty tips you might’ve heard from your grandma. They really have stood the test of time and are just as relevant today as they were 50 or 100 years ago. They’re simple but effective and don’t require you to buy anything new. In fact, you probably have all the things you need already in your house. Once you read about these tips and try them out you might start questioning the need for all those new hyped up products and appliances and, who knows, you might save some money in the process.

1. Rose Petals For Lipstick

Back in the day women used berries and rose petals instead of lipstick to give some color to their lips. It’s way cheaper and works like a charm. If you have a bouquet of roses from your last date, take a couple of petals, rub them between your fingers to crush them and use as lip stain. It’ll look way more natural than lipstick and it will smell divine.

2. Cucumber Slices On The Eyes

There’s a reason you still see pictures of girls with cucumber slices on their eyes on the packages of beauty products. And it’s kinda funny that now they make eye sheet masks that look like cucumber slices but they’re made of cloth. Try the original and just slice up a cucumber and put it on your eyelids. It’s refreshing, cooling, hydrating and can help with puffiness. If it worked for your grandma it will work for you too.

3. Vaseline For Everything

Vaseline is a common ingredient in a lot of beauty products but we rarely use it for anything on its own. For some reason, we’ve been fooled into thinking that if it comes it a pretty package and it’s tinted it’s better than just good old vaseline. However, ladies back in the day used it not only as lip balm, but also to make their eyelids look nice and shiny (perfect for that wet eyeshadow look by the way), and it can even be used as under-eye cream to prevent puffiness and dark circles after a long night. Just put in under your eyes before you go to bed.
