The first unsexy product video is doing so well and i'm SHOCKED because i didn't think my recommendations would be new to anyone! but now that i've learned it's better to just mention it in case someone doesn't know or hasn't thought about it, I've got a MOTHERLOAD of recs. 14 to be exact.
#1: Numbing cream for monster pimples
Lidocaine, or any other numbing ingredient like Benzocaine. You probably already have this on hand. Things like hemorrhoid cream, tattoo cream always have numbing agents in them. Otherwise, you can get numbing cream on amazon. these are great with the PAIR acne cream I recommended in my last video.
#2: Saline Nasal Gel for dry noses and throats in cold weather
Saline Nasal Gel is superior to Saline spray when it comes to dry noses and throats. Soooo good in the winter time in dry places like denver!
#3: Cheap cleaning for Makeup Brushes
Makeup brushes harbor bacteria and can cause pimples but that's easy to fix. Religiously reading ingredient labels taught me that makeup brush cleansing solutions are just rubbing alcohol, and if not, they are full of chemicals you probably don't want on your face. Get a 99% isopropyl alcohol and put it in a spray bottle, like this one.
#4: Pump dispensers are a time and money game changer!!
If you forget to cap your toners like me, you need a pump dispenser bottle you can refill with toner! There are nice glass ones if you are concerned about plastic leeching into the toner. Otherwise, the plastic ones are a bit cheaper.
#5: Contact Lens Cleaning Solution
I always worry I am not cleaning my contacts well enough when I clean them with saline, but this 3% hydrogen peroxide I have complete faith in. It disinfects after your manual cleaning removes physical debris!
#6: Since you're not using that other contact lens case...
Dual Use hacks are the best. Use the contact lens case you aren't using for storing small trinkets or earrings during travel!
#7: On the topic of jewelry.... travelling with necklaces is sooo annoying.
But not with little tiny plastic bags that may also be used to store nose beers (hypothetically)
#8: If you struggle with your hand dexterity when cutting your nails
This slant tip nail clipper is useful for getting ingrown toenails, as well as cuticles! My non-dominant hand prefers it.
#9: For the other hard skin AROUND your nailbeds, it's better not to cut it.
Try using a pumice stone instead! This kind, not the kind that comes in gift baskets for your mum.
#10: More exfoliation/cleaning products for your whole body
A rough body scrubber is way way more effective and sanitary than a loofah, as it dries down much faster! There are mitt versions as well, which you should replace every 6 months.
#11: Wavy Metal Hairband
This is a dirty girl's best friend, especially one with an oily scalp. There are a few different designs, so try out a few based on your hair type!
#12: My oily hair gets oilier if i don't clean my brush
So I use a hair brush pick. The one i found is even better than the one i have!
#13: Do you get hemorrhoids? Unfortunately I do.
And i don't like to use steriod creams so A tennis ball does the trick. I can't find a place that just sells a single ball unfortunately.
That's all! (For now) I hope it was helpful.
