Beauty Hacks for Readers
Reading is already a glow-up for your brain—but what if we added a little something, something for your face, body, and self-esteem while we’re at it? Welcome to the ultimate multitasking moment: looking fabulous while flipping pages. Whether you’re bingeing thrillers or swooning over fictional crushes, here are five ridiculously easy ways to get a little more beautiful while you get lost in a book.
1. Color Your Hair While Solving the Murder
Root touch-up? Full-on transformation? Pop that dye on, wrap it up, and dive into Chapter Four while the color processes. Nothing says “main character energy” like unveiling your fresh shade just as the killer is revealed. Pro tip: wear an old T-shirt and keep the gloves on standby unless you want the plot twist to be your hands turning violet.

2. Slather On a Face Mask and Pretend You’re in a Gothic Romance
You’re not just sitting in your living room—you’re in a candlelit manor, hiding a scandalous secret, wearing a rejuvenating clay mask. Hydrating, detoxifying, or just for vibes—whatever works. Bonus points if the mask cracks at the same time as the villain’s alibi.

3. Smooth Those Heels While You Solve the Plot
You’ve got plot twists, yes—but also cracked heels that need attention. Break out the foot file or one of those battery-powered callus-eating devices that sound like small blenders. Sit back, exfoliate, and moisturize while the detective interrogates suspects. You’re about to have feet that could land a sandal ad.

4. Read While Walking on the Treadmill (Look at You, Overachiever)
Why sit when you can strut into chapter fifteen? Set your treadmill to a gentle pace, grab your Kindle, and feel smug about the fact that you’re burning calories while the protagonist breaks into a suspect’s apartment. Suspense and steps? We love a healthy queen.

5. (Insert Productive Beauty Hack Here)
You know I couldn’t stop at four—but this fifth one is your moment. Maybe it’s whitening your teeth with strips while reading a spicy scene. Maybe it’s oiling your cuticles while annotating your favorite quotes. Maybe it’s doing a scalp massage with that fancy little silicone brush or putting on a hair mask for 30 minutes. Whatever it is, it’s about self-care, baby.
