Taking a bath can be more relaxing than a quick shower in the morning before going to work.

If you want to dye your hair, doing it with natural methods and avoiding chemicals is always a good option. Most traditional hair dyes contain substances that could have negative effects on your health. Not only that, but they can also pollute our planet because of the large number of toxins they contain. That’s why it’s good to keep in mind that there are natural alternatives that you can use. These are often easy to make with things you can find at the supermarket or maybe already have at home.

Co-washing is complete or partial refusal from shampoo and instead just washing the hair with a conditioner. The essence of this method is reflected in its name — co-washing, which stands for Conditioner Only Washing.

For people who like wearing false eyelashes before attending a special event or simply to enhance and get a more penetrating look in their daily life, sooner or later there comes a time to remove them and take a break. 5-Minute Crafts will show you 2 step-by-step methods on how to do this without damaging your eyes or hurting your natural lashes. We’ve also added a bonus with a few tips at the end of the article.

Your skin regenerates approximately every 30 days — new cells, which push the old ones to the surface, are formed in the middle layer. However, sometimes dead cells are not removed completely and accumulate together. This leads to flaky skin, dry spots, and clogged pores. The good thing is that peeling helps remove dead cells from the skin’s surface. For that, you can use mechanical or chemical products.

Cold and windy weather in winter, sunburns and air conditioning in summer, and low humidity in the air — all these factors may lead to peeling skin on your face. Flaky skin can make your fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable and your makeup look worse. So 5-Minute Crafts wants to give you some tips on how to get rid of dry skin on your face and make it look healthy again.

Henna is a good option for people who want to dye their hair using only natural dyes, thus avoiding chemical products. Still, you should keep in mind that this natural dye can’t change the color of your hair completely like chemical dying does. However, it does give a deeper or more intense tone to the original color of your hair, and always with reddish undertones. 5-Minute Crafts will show you how to dye your hair with natural henna step-by-step.

When we cry, out of sadness or joy, our eyes swell due to the dilation that occurs in the blood vessels of the eyelids, which can result in complications if we don’t want others to notice what’s going on.

Professional dancers and athletes know all the good stretches and can easily do the splits. But the good news is that a newbie, even without the proper training, can also do this tricky move — as long as they dedicate 20-30 minutes a few times a day to performing simple exercises. Of course, not everyone is able to do the splits in a month’s time, but the better your physical condition is and the stretches at the time of starting the exercises are, the faster you’ll reach the desired result.

Washing your face is far more complicated than it seems, which is why 5-Minute Crafts gathered advice from experts on how to do it. There is no such thing as doing it the right way, but there are many wrong ways of doing it. That’s because there are different types of techniques and products you can use. Your choice should depend on your skin type just as much as on your lifestyle. That’s why before adopting a (new) skincare routine, you should first consider the following things:

Unlike the skin that covers the rest of your body, the skin on your lips doesn’t have oil glands to produce oils that could prevent it from drying out. This is why your lips need extra care, especially in cold temperatures, during sun exposure, and in some other cases. In this article, 5-Minute Crafts will show you a few ways to soothe your chapped lips naturally.

Aggressive blow-drying, coloring, perming, UV radiation, poor nutrition, and even the wrong shampoo can all cause split ends.

When you suddenly get some pimples or red spots on your face, you want to have something that can cover up the problem quickly. Of course, it’s possible to hide the imperfections under a lot of makeup. But we prefer the ways that also help to improve the condition of your skin quickly.

A serum is an everyday care product for the skin on your face. It could be a gel, a cream, or an aqueous suspension. It contains a higher concentration of active ingredients than regular care products which is why it’s used for solving very specific problems like acne, the first signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and other things.
