10 BRILLIANT USES FOR HOT WATER

1 REVEAL BEAUTIFUL SKIN FOR PENNIES

No need to buy pricey products for a gorgeous complexion. Simply soak a washcloth in hot water, wring it out and drape it over your face for 30 seconds. Remove the washcloth, then cleanse your skin as usual and rinse with cool water. The steam helps cleanser dissolve the deepest clogs by opening pores, then the cool water seals them again, leaving you with a clear complexion.

2 Eliminate clumps in mascara

While in the middle e of applying your makeup before heading to your sister's birthday bash, you find that your mascara is a bit clumpy. To make it usable again, soak the tube in a cup of hot water for a few minutes before applying. The heat thins out the mascara so it won't clump. (This trick works great for clumpy liquid eyeliner too!)

3. Extend the life of honey

The last drops of honey stuck to the bottom of the container don't have to go to waste; use the sweet stuff to make a simple syrup for tea or cocktails. Add hot water (the same amount that you have of honey), close the lid and shake. The hot water will thin the honey so it's still usable. Stored in the refrigerator, the syrup will stay fresh for weeks.

4 AVOID MUSHY NOODLES
