One of the best #DIY I’ve found for #acne is a banana! Just take the peel of a ripe banana (not overripe, you want one that’s yellow with a few dark spots), and rub it on your blemish for ten minutes or so. You’ll see a big difference in your acne, especially after a few days. Why does this work? A lot of reasons! Bananas have so many anti-inflammatories, like vitamin A, zinc, and manganese. The peels are also natural exfoliants to remove toxins and helps to prevent bacterial infections that may contribute to acne. The enzymes help to heal scars and prevent new pimples from popping up, and the starch unclogs your pore. It’s basically an anti-acne powerhouse! #repost #hudabeauty

You know me, I feel compelled to try crazy, bizarre beauty ideas! I’ve been obsessed with DIY since I was a kid and I’ve discovered SO many incredible hacks over the years – I’ve found some pretty terrible ones too if I’m honest! Yeah, don’t try using false eyelash hairs to add volume to your eyebrows, trust me, it’s not a good look! I LOVE experimenting and finding inexpensive ways to use household ingredients – it’s actually insane what you can find in your kitchen – so over the years my repertoire of beauty hacks has garnered some attention!

So, it turns out some of my hacks – you know, like Vagisil for primer and toothpaste for blackheads – have been put to the test by the wonderful ladies at Brit + Co Magazine. Check out their verdicts to see what they thought of my beauty hacks here.
