The teen star’s famous pout sparked quite a rage in the past year. Back before she admitted to getting lip fillers, The Kylie Jenner lip challenge was a ridiculous trend that resulted in more bruises and a battered pout rather than fabulously full lips. The lip plumping challenge basically involves putting your lips in a shot glass and sucking. Trying this suction technique for a good 5 minutes was how many girls across the world tried to get lips like the reality star. Needless to say the challenge was quite an epic fail and resulted in loads of injury. It’s one trend we’re glad the world has left behind in 2015!

2. What Are Lip Fillers?

Anushka Sharma and Kylie Jenner aren’t alone! Apparently, lots of people wanted to transform their pout this past year. Lip fillers are injections administered by dermatologists to increase the thickness of your lips. They’re also used to even out fine lines around the lips.

3. How To Remove Gel Nail Polish?

Gel nail paint is great as they help your nails look pretty for much longer than normal nail polish that chips within a couple days. But taking it off is a whole different story. You should ideally go to a nail salon to take it off, but if you would like to do it at home then begin by filing the surface of your nails a couple times. Then soak balls of cotton in acetone before placing them flat on top of each nail and wrap each finger tip in foil to keep them in place. Let them sit like this for a good 5 to 8 minutes before taking them off and then use a cuticle pusher to scrape the polish off. Your nails will feel fragile and can break more easily after this, which is why we wouldn’t recommend trying it too much. Wait a few weeks to allow your nails to recover before you paint them again.

4. How To Remove Acrylic Nails At Home

Which girl isn’t obsessed with a pretty manicure? If you’ve gone the acrylic route then definitely visit the salon to get these babies off. If you absolutely must do it yourself at home, then cut them short before following the same steps as removing gel polish. Removing acrylic nails at home can be tougher than removing nail paint. But this time, keep the cotton soaked in acetone and foil on for longer, say about 10 minutes.

5. How To Use Beard Balm?

Embarrassing pimples can pop up any time of the year and we don’t need Google to tell us how common a problem it is. Remember that popping a zit can lead to infections and scars, so do it at your own risk. Washing your hands first is a must, then take a tissue in both hands and press firmly through the tissue on both sides of the spots. Apply some tea tree oil on it after to help soothe it and reduce the risk of inflammation and infection. If you’re adamant about squeezing it, then remember to do it after a shower as the steam helps open up your pores.

8. How To Get Glowing Skin?

Now this is a question we would forever be searching for answers for. After all, radiant skin never goes out of style! Your best bet would be to follow a healthy diet, get enough sleep, cleanse-tone-moisturize like a boss, stay away from smoking and drink lots and lots of water.
