1. Cool overheated skin

Want a cooling treat after a hot day? Try storing your Boomsilk®, Boom Calm® or another favorite moisturizer in the refrigerator. Then, after a workout or time in the sun, replenish your skin’s moisture and cool down with the chilled moisturizer.

2. Bring wild brows under control

Searching for a way to keep wild eyebrows in place? Try this tip we learned from Boom Ambassador Sandy Berg: Glide Boomstick Glimmer® over your eyebrows, then use a spoolie or your finger to brush your brows into place.

The creamy formula will help keep your eyebrows where you want them while the subtle shimmer adds radiance to your skin.

3. Save time by doubling up

Short on time? Boom Ambassador Cynthia Sitcov taught us this little trick. Rather than cleanse first and exfoliate after, try mixing Boom Clean® and Boom Scrub™ together in your hand before applying. You’ll save time without sacrificing one bit of your skin care.

Rather than cleanse first and exfoliate after, try mixing Boom Clean™ and Boom Scrub™ together in your hand before applying.

Boom Clean removes makeup and impurities while Boom Scrub deep-cleans pores and removes dead, dry cells for skin that’s doubly clean, soft and smooth.

4. Remove makeup gently

Have you tried oil cleansing? Mireya Olmos taught us this technique during Boom Ladies’ Night. Oil cleansing helps remove makeup, dirt and impurities from your face without drying your skin.

You can use olive oil to cleanse, like Mireya does, or try using Boom Gold™. Warm a few drops in your hand, then apply to your face, gently massaging it into your skin. Then, use a warm, wet towel to wipe away remnants of dirt, makeup and oil.

5. Protect and condition your hair

Are you a swimmer? If so, you might enjoy this Boom tip from Cindy Sitcov. Cindy swims nearly every day, which can be tough on her hair. So before she puts on her swim cap, she runs a bit of Boomsilk through her hair.

The beeswax and olive oil in Boomsilk help protect her hair from harsh pool chemicals. When she’s finished swimming, her hair is soft and conditioned rather than damaged or dry.

6. Soften cuticles on the go

If you suffer from dry, cracked skin in winter, especially on your hands and cuticles, you’re not alone. Dry, cold air can really do a number on our skin. But with Boomstick Glo®, you can easily touch up dry spots with deeply hydrating moisture whenever you need it.

Just pop this convenient moisturizing stick into your pocket or purse and use it to hydrate and soften cuticles—or touch up other dry areas—any time you want.

7. Minimize redness

Do you ever wake up with red eyelids? Boom Ambassador Hope Fitzgerald has a tip for you.

Try storing your Boomsilk™, Boom Calm™ or another favorite moisturizer in the refrigerator.

She uses Boomstick Glimmer to minimize the appearance of morning redness on her eyelids. Just use your finger to dab Boomstick Glimmer onto your eyelids and watch the redness fade as the pearlescent shimmer draws light and radiance to your skin.

8. Multitasking bronzer and contour

Bronzing and contouring are trendy at the moment. But do you need yet another cosmetic to do it? Luckily, the answer is no.

You can use Boomstick Color® as a bronzer or contour color. Simply dab this cosmetic onto your temples and just under your cheekbones, then use your fingers to blend. The sheer berry tint adds sun-kissed warmth and enhances your natural facial structure.

9. A cooling after-shave skin treatment

Does your skin feel dry or itchy after shaving? Try soothing your skin with Boom Calm. The all-natural ingredients include olive oil, aloe vera and calendula essential oil for calming moisture anywhere on your body. You can even combine it with tip #1 for an added cooling experience.

10. Get bright eyes

Create a bright, awake look with this little tip from Sandy Evenson. Use your finger to dab a bit of Boomstick Glimmer onto the inside corners of your eyes. The light-catching shimmer will give you a wide-awake, bright-eyed effect that’s perfect for early mornings or days when you're feeling a little more tired.
