My DIY beauty hacks use stuff you already have at home – a $5 kitchen staple can replace so many products you’re buying

A DIY pro has shared her secret beauty hacks, which can all be made at home.

Her favorite item costs $5 and is probably in most people's cabinets already.

TikToker Cyn Gordon (@queenbcyn) loves to share wellness tips on social media.

In one video, she talked about the "household items that can replace so many beauty" products.

"I've been using all of these for the better part of over 10 years, so they're tried and true in my book," Cyn said.

Cyn started by talking about her passion for olive oil.

One way she uses the cooking oil is as a replacement for body lotion.

She puts the natural serum on her skin as soon as she gets out of the shower.

Cyn said the scent of olive oil might throw some people off, but she uses the "light-tasting one" so the smell isn't as strong.

The beauty pro will also use olive oil on her face to remove her makeup, and then she cleanses her skin "as usual."

"Let go of all these expensive makeup removers," she said. "Olive oil works really great and it does not clog your pores."

A third use of olive oil is to make a scrub with something grainy, like sugar or salt, and a little body soap.

"This one $5 dollar bottle will save you so much money on expensive beauty products," Cyn told her followers.

According to Real Simple, olive oil works as an excellent skin moisturizer.

However, it may not be ideal as a face treatment for people with an oily complexion, they said.

Skincare aside, Cyn said she likes to use olive oil on the ends of her hair to keep it moisturized and shiny.

A second beauty hack Cyn shared: aspirin.

She said it is "so cheap" and costs $1 per bottle.

"It has the same properties as salicylic acid, which is a very common acne treatment," she said.

Cyn puts the aspirin in a bowl, softens it with water, and then adds some honey and uses it as a face mask.

It can also be used as a spot treatment for pimples.
