If your beauty routine consists solely of soap, water and lotion, it's time to expand your horizons! These unusual products have added benefits when used on your skin and in your hair. Try out one of these products on your face.
Oil
Oil isn't just for cooking! Many people are skeptical about putting extra oil on their faces (after all, isn't it the oil that we're trying to get rid of in order to prevent breakouts? But the opposite is true. Adding oil to your face, like coconut or extra virgin olive oil, actually reduces breakouts and aids the skin in many other ways, like offering additional antioxidants.
Beer
Beer isn't just for happy hour! Applying beer topically has been found to clear up your complexion an sooth irritated skin, thanks to the panthothenic acid and vitamin B complex in it.
Eggs
They're a common kitchen staple, but if you save some of your eggs from weekend brunch, you can use them to bring life back to your hair! Yes, eggs in your hair. Whip up a mask containing egg and oil, lather on strands, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Your hair will be shiny, silky and full of bounce.
Sour Cream
We love it with nachos, but this dairy product doubles as moisturizer for skin and can aid in gently exfoliating skin. The lactic acid in it helps to brighten dull, lackluster skin, while the natural fat helps restore moisture.
Pepto Bismol
You may have come to love this tummy aid relief over the years for its fast-acting properties, but the drugstore find can also make your face look younger. Yes, it's true. Slather it on your face and then remove with warm water. The ingredients in Pepto are said to act as a facial tightening agent.
