Baby powder has more benefits than you might think. Besides being used after a shower to apply on the body, it can also be incredibly useful in daily life. We’ve gathered a variety of tips and tricks for you—let’s take a look!
Benefits of Baby Powder:
- Adds Volume to Eyelashes
Baby powder can help make your lashes look longer, curlier, and fuller. Curl your lashes, apply a coat of mascara, then use a cotton swab dipped in baby powder to lightly dab onto the lashes. Finish with another coat of mascara, and your lashes will appear naturally thicker. - Creates a Matte Lip Look
To make your lipstick last longer and achieve a matte finish, apply your favorite lipstick as usual. Then gently dab baby powder on your lips and dust off any excess with a brush. The result is a chic, long-lasting matte lip. - Gives a Youthful Facial Look
Swap your regular loose powder or foundation powder for baby powder—it gives your face a more youthful appearance. On makeup-free days, use baby powder instead of compact powder to reduce oiliness and help prevent clogged pores and breakouts. - Reduces Oily Hair
If you haven’t washed your hair and your scalp feels greasy, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder at the roots. Rub it in gently, and the powder will absorb the excess oil. Just be careful not to use too much, or your hair might look gray. - Acts as a Natural Deodorizer
Whether it’s foot odor or body odor, baby powder with a pleasant scent can help. Simply sprinkle it on problem areas to reduce strong smells, absorb moisture, and leave you feeling fresh and dry while helping prevent fungal growth.
