As the owner of a boutique that specializes in beauty, I often end up chatting with customers about their various rituals and routines. Every now and then, someone will share a tip that is downright genius. Here are a few of the beauty hacks I've heard over the years and am now happy to pass along to you. 

1. Use a dryer sheet to tame fly-aways.

 

2.Use the same dryer sheet and rub it all over your body.The scent will ward off gnats and mosquitoes.

 

3. Sleep in dry shampoo for oil-free volume in the morning.

 

4. Drag dental floss across your nose to remove blackheads.

 

5. Use a lighter to soften dried out, hard eyeliner.

 

6. Apply whitening toothpaste to your nails for ten minutes to remove yellow stains.

 

7. Apply deodorant to inner thighs to preventinner thigh chafing during warmer months.
