Pamper Yourself Naturally

We talk about so many fun things on this blog, but some of my favorite articles have been on the DIY beauty products! Some of the things we discuss on this blog are personal stories and some things contain info we have found elsewhere that we thought you might enjoy too. Thanks to healthy child healthy world for the following tips:

• Don’t spend all that money on Sugar Scrubs when you can make your own: “1 cup sugar, ½ cup olive oil, and a few drops of essential oil (optional).” You can also google “sugar scrubs” to find other recipes.
• Rejuvenate Your Skin: we have talked previously about a DIY moisturizing facial mask similar to these ingredients, but add a few more to the recipe and you have a skin rejuvenation! “Mix 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt, and ½ teaspoon of olive oil. Apply mixture to your face for 10 minutes and rinse. Weekly application rejuvenates the skin.”
• Lip Gloss: I LOOOVEEE THIS! “Soften and condition your lips while adding shine by rubbing olive oil on them. Add a bit of beet juice for color if you’d like.” Who would have thought of the beet juice?! Awesome right?!
• Coffee Scrub: we posted previously about using coffee grinds to get rid of cellulite! Here is a recipe for a coffee scrub for the body… great exfoliator! “Mix 3 Tablespoons of the used coffee grounds and 1 Tablespoon salt in a bowl. Use as a scrub in the shower within 20 minutes (before the grounds start to oxidize).”

What I love about finding DIY recipes is because most of the ingredients are things you already have! Not only is it healthier for you than the stuff we buy at the store (I mean, can you even pronounce most of the words on the back of your moisturizer bottle?!), but it is SO MUCH CHEAPER!!! You can google even more recipes for DIY or check out Healthy Child Healthy World. They have amazing healthy living tips and so much more! I would love to hear if you have any DIY beauty recipes or if you have tried any of the ones we have listed here or in our previous posts. What are you waiting for…. Pamper yourself naturally!!!!
