Just like discovering a deliciously strange new use for your favorite food (ranch dressing on pizza anyone?), the double duties of some beauty products will amaze you. Here, some very different ways to use your tried and tested faves. You'll never look at lip balm the same way again. |

Paula Dorf Evening Primrose Essence, $52
his hydrating blend of natural essential oils may work moisturizing wonders on the face, but massage a few drops on dry cuticles and watch them miraculously soften in seconds. |
 |
Philosophy Purity , $32
We rely on this soothing cleanser nightly to wash the day away, but after getting the scoop on Purity's second job as a gentle lingerie wash, our face is going to have to learn how to share. Just fill a sink with warm water, add a few drops Purity and let you most delicate underthings soak. |
 |
Dr. Brandt Bronze Barrier Face SPF 30, $40
When applied to the face, this lightweight skin protector imparts a subtle golden glow. When smoothed on bare legs, particularly the shins, it deposits a sexy sheen and makes them appear longer. |
 |
Clean, $28-82
Trying to extend the life of your $50 blowout by skipping a shampoo, or two? Spritz day-old hair with this just-stepped-out-of-the-shower fragrance for a sudsy, just-washed scent. |
 |
Frédéric Fekkai Apple Cider Clearing Rinse, $16.50
Whenever we need a good, thorough hair washing, this clarifying rinse is our go-to shampoo. But lo and behold, it's been working overtime as the ultimate makeup brush cleanser. Just fill a bowl with water, squeeze in the shampoo and let brushes soak for 20 minutes. |
 |
Smith's Rosebud Salve, $5.50
Your favorite lip smoother moonlights as a brown tamer. Just comb your eyebrows into shape, then use a dab of Rosebud to secure them into place. |
