No one has hours to primp every day, so we learn to adapt and customize certain products to specific needs we have, experimenting to see what works best.

I'm a firm believer in a streamlined, eco-conscious approach to beauty. Double-duty beauty products fall right into the less is more philosophy, so I'm happy to share my tried-and-true tips to streamline your beauty routine.

  • Tinted lip balms can also work as cheek stains. Just make sure to use sparingly for a slight flush!
  • Cleansers formulated with salicylic acid can double as a shampoo to combat a greasy scalp.
  • A great standby solution if you get a big red zit is to dab some Visine on it. It really will get the red out!
  • In a pinch, you can use a rich moisturizer or facial mask as a hair grooming cream. A tiny dab tames flyaways and keeps hair in place.
  • Bronzing gel can be used as temporary hair highlights. Starting at the roots, smooth a little on select strands to add shine and dimension.
  • Lip balms are the multi-tasker of the beauty world. I love to use it as an eyebrow tamer or as a cuticle cream.

Lip balms are practically a necessity in this blustery, cold winter weather. Here are three brands of super-strength lip balms that I had never heard of, yet they seem to be cult favorites around the world. (Gosh, I hate feeling left out.) Thought you'd be keen on reading about more of these as well. One note: Pay close attention to the prices since they vary drastically.

Dr. Harris Lip Balm ($8) is a smoothing, soothing and healing lip balm that works wonders on healing, dry, cracked or chapped lips. It is made with yummy-smelling cocoa butter and cooling menthol to create a fresh scent and a tingly sensation!
