Sure, you're a full-fledged grown-up, but you can be a big cry-baby when it comes to spending beaucoup bucks on your beauty products.
Normally, we are all for splurging in the beauty department (after all, you deserve it), but if you are into the idea of saving where you can, we are here to tell you: The baby aisle is your friend. Plus, if good old-fashioned baby oil is good enough for Beyoncé, it's sure as heck good enough for the rest of us.
For genius celeb-approved swaps you can make that will save you a small fortune, these are our must-have baby-slash-beauty products.
Baby Wipes to Remove Makeup: Instead of splurging on specially-formulated makeup-removing wipes, baby wipes work just as good. It doesn't matter if they are name brand, in the dollar bin or plastered with designer labels. By nature, the moist wipes are formulated for sensitive skin, are hypoallergenic and infused with nourishing ingredients like aloe and vitamin E.
Baby Oil for Dry Skin: If you're after that Beyoncé glow, or just after a surge of moisture, look no further than the baby aisle. Swap out your moisturizer for this super-cheap alternative that leaves a long-lasting moisture seal. "Actually funny enough, I lather myself up with baby oil in the shower," Julianne Hough revealed to Us Weekly. Towel it off after your rinse, then let it sit as you are getting ready. By the time you are out the door, your skin will feel plump and hydrated for the rest of the day.
Baby Powder as Dry Shampoo: We're going to let you in on a dirty little secret: Dry shampoo is basically baby powder. Most commercial spritzers are just baby powder or talcum powder combined with a fragrance. For the same effect, and for a whole lot cheaper, you can use traditional baby powder for the same effect. Getting the application just right can be tricky since the pour is a little heavier, but to resolve just blend at the roots with fingers, and voilà—grease-free hair!
