Do you want to achieve glowing skin without spending money on expensive beauty products? Look no further than your pantry for all the ingredients you need to craft your own DIY skin care routine! Here are some steps to help you on your way to achieving a radiant complexion:
Step 1. Cleanse
Start your routine with a simple but effective cleanser. Mix baking soda and honey until you have a paste consistency. It’s gentle enough to be used on all skin types and it’s great for removing dirt and excess oil. Use it to exfoliate and keep your skin clean while keeping it hydrated!
Step 2. Hydrate
Hydrating your skin is of utmost importance. Your DIY moisturizer can be customized depending on what your skin needs. If you have dry skin, try mixing equal parts olive oil and honey. For combination and oily skin, try combining some drops of rosemary oil and almond oil in a almonds oil base. Use the front of your hands to massage the moisturizer onto your skin for an extra boost of hydration and natural relaxation.
Step 3. Treat
Now it’s time to give your skin a little extra TLC. You can make your very own DIY face mask with just a few ingredients. Here are some options:
Milk and banana masks: This mask is perfect for any skin type. Mash up a ripe banana and mix it with some natural and organic milk. Let the mask sit on your face for 20 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.Avocado and honey masks: Avocado is packed with healthy fats and healing properties. Just mash up half an avocado and add a tablespoon of honey. Leave it on your face for 15 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.Yogurt and honey masks: Yogurt is great for nourishing the skin. Mix 2 tablespoons of yogurt with one tablespoon of honey. Leave it on your face for 30 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water.
Step 4. Protect
The last step of your skincare routine is to protect your skin. To make a DIY facial sunscreen, combine equal parts of almond oil and beeswax. Then add a few drops of carrot seed oil and lavender oil. The combination of these oils will help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
These are the four steps to crafting your own DIY skin care routine for glowing skin. Start slowly and customize the steps depending on what your skin needs. With all natural ingredients and a few extra supplies you’ll be on your way to having beautiful and glowing skin in no time.
