I ♥ Unusual Hygiene Product Things
#1: Baby Powder
The ♥: Best hair revitalizing trick ever! Baby powder is literally made to absorb oils, so I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me to try this years ago. I use it on days that my hair is a little oily or I'm trying to postpone a full shower to make my hair look and feel clean for hours.
To Use: Shake some into your palms, rub your hands together, and run through your roots (which is where the oils collect). Run a brush through to distribute evenly. This trick works best on lighter-colored hair, otherwise it might look dandruffy.

#2: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The ♥: I've experimented for years with face creams, looking for one that wouldn't leave my face either dried out or super oily. It continues to be a fruitless search, but in the meanwhile I stumbled upon this trick! It softens and hydrates my skin all day and is way cheaper than buying yet another cream.
To Use: Moisten the pads of your index and middle finger with the oil and add a dab of moisturizer that is a bit drying on your skin (which, for me, was a St. Ives one) until you reach a desired consistency. Apply to your face as usual.

#3: Spray Bottle
The ♥: Moisturizing after a shower is a necessary but time-consuming process, so when I discovered that things like body oil existed, I got the idea to put it in a plain old spray bottle as a shortcut... and it worked! Now I can moisturize easily and in mere seconds, I tell you! Best dollar I've spent in a while.
To Use: Right after you've shut off the water, stay in the shower, pull your hair out of the way and spray two to three times on your front and two to three on your back. Rub in with your hands to distribute and wipe off vigorously with a towel. Just make sure to get a pull-trigger bottle, not a press-trigger.
