Did you know that you have been spending way too much money on beauty products? There are so many beauty benefits that come from common household items that are just sitting around your house! Once you try them, you will rethink your entire beauty routine:

1. Citrus

Lemons are great at treating blackheads. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice on your face and watch your blackheads disappear.

2. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be used as a face toner as well as a hair treatment; the vinegar prevents oil buildup and prevents breakage in your hair.

3. Olive oil

You can pre-condition your hair with olive oil. Simply warm olive oil in the microwave and apply it generously to the ends of your hair and scalp. Leave in for 20 minutes and then proceed with your regular shampoo. Once dried, your hair will be incredibly soft and shiney.

4. Vaseline

Dab a touch of Vaseline wherever you spray perfume to make the scent last much longer, or coat your lashes in Vaseline to make them appear fuller.

5. Uncoated aspirin

If you suffer from dullness, redness, dry patches, and acne on your face, crush five aspirin pills and add water until you form a paste. Add a touch honey and spread the mixture on your face. Wash off after 20 minutes for healthier skin.

6. Unsweetened cocoa powder

If you are brunette but are showing your blonde roots, mix cocoa powder and cornstart to create a powder that will make your hair appear thicker and cover any lighter hairs.

7. Tin foil

Do you know you can curl your hair with some tinfoil and a flat iron? Get the instructions here.

8. Cinnamon

Mix a little bit of cinnamon with honey together for an instant pimple treatment.

9. Nivea after shave balm

Makeup artists have been going absolutely nuts over this product. It's been called the best makeup primer on the market, but is actually just aftershave!

10. Dryer sheets

Is your hair on the frizzy side today? Get an ordinary dryer sheet from your laundry room and smooth it over your hair to eliminate any static or frizz.

11. Green tea bags

After brewing, place a tea bag under each eye to reduce redness and puffiness.

12. Oatmeal

Place a spoonful of oatmeal in your bath to soothe itchy, dry skin.

13. Avocado

Crushed avocado can be applied to your hair for a deep conditioning treatment. Simply apply the loveable green fruit to your dry hair and let it stand for 30 minutes. Then, shampoo and rinse well in a warm shower.

14. Ground coffee
