From morning makeup shortcuts to all-day hairstyle savers, these 15 simple beauty tips will unlock glowing skin, stronger hair, and a radiant smile, and have you looking effortlessly polished with minimal fuss.

1. Apply your full skincare routine at least an hour before bed. This gives your beauty products time to fully absorb without being wiped away by your pillow.

2. Always apply sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF 30+, even on cloudy, rainy mornings. Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds and contribute to premature ageing.

3. Swish a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10 minutes before brushing. “Oil pulling” lifts stains and reduces bacteria for a naturally brighter smile.

4. Swap out rubber bands for cotton scrunchies or ties when styling. It is gentler on the edges and prevents breakage and those annoying dents in your hair.

5. Sleep on silk to lock in overnight moisture, reduce friction that causes frizz and wrinkles, and keep your hair and skin looking smooth and soft.

6. Dab a few drops of castor oil into your navel each night—it’s said to ease menstrual cramps, boost digestion, and calm stress through your body’s largest internal plexus.

7. Coat a clean mascara wand with castor oil and brush through your edges and brows nightly to promote thicker, longer hair in those areas.

8. After brushing twice, skip rinsing on your final pass; simply spit out the foam so fluoride stays on your enamel longer, strengthening teeth and fighting decay.

9. When using a salicylic or benzoyl acne cleanser, lather onto your skin and let it sit for over a minute before rinsing to give the active ingredients time to penetrate.

10. After applying lotion, glide a thin layer of lightweight body oil over your damp skin to lock in hydration and leave you feeling silky smooth all day.
