While summer is all about
tropical getaways, trips to the beach and sipping on icy-cold pina coladas with
your friends, for obvious reasons— life had other plans for us this time. Scroll
down for a list of easy summer hacks you probably never thought you needed.
LEMON FOR SWEAT STAINS
Summer is sweaty. A quick
way to get rid of stubborn sweat stains out of clothes is by rubbing lemon
juice on the stains before throwing it in your washing machine. All you need is
equal parts lemon juice and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the stains,
let it soak for thirty minutes and rinse. No more sweat patches.
ALOE VERA FOR IRRITATED
SKIN
When the temperatures
rise, your skin tends to get cranky. If you don’t have the right moisturizer,
things can get worse. Instead of investing in a product this time, lean to aloe
cubes to keep your skin sheet calm and collected. Fill your ice cube tray
with aloe vera gel and pop it in the freezer. Slap on the cubes on
affected areas between deadlines to rejuvenate and rehydrate.
DEODORANTS TO STOP
BLISTERS
It’s easy for your feet
to develop blisters and shoe bites during the toasty temperatures because the
floors can get slightly warm. Luckily your roll-on deodorant can fix
this problem for you. Just swipe some on the bottom of your feet on hotter
days. You could also put some on the back and sides of your foot before
throwing on a new pair of heels or shoes. The deodorant acts as a barrier
from friction as well.
SUGAR FOR LIPS
It’s very easy to create
your own homemade lip scrub. All you need is 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, a
tub or tube of your favorite lip balm and some virgin coconut oil. Mix these
three ingredients together, exfoliate for a few minutes and rinse with warm
water. If you dedicate five minute of your time to this method, three to four
times a week before you hit the bed, you will notice the texture of your lips
change to becoming more plush and pillowy. Oh, and don’t forget to end this
treatment with a rich layer of balm to lock in your natural moisture while
you’re busy counting sheep.
POTATO FOR PEDIS
Are your feet looking
horrendous? Well, you don’t have to wait for your next pedicure appointment
anymore (which seems like a distant possibility either way). Give yourself a
lush pedi by slicing a potato in half, dip it in some sea salt and
scrub all the dead skin cells away. It works as a fantastic exfoliation method
that you can execute at the comfort of your home. Potatoes? Who knew, right?
