Everyone wants nice, healthy skin. But most of us aren’t willing to shell out big bucks for the products we want. Moreover, sometimes you want the best organic skincare products without questionable ingredients. And that is why we’re here to help you make organic skincare products at home using ingredients that are easy to find around the house.
1. Pomegranate facial scrub for oily skin
Pomegranates have been used since ancient times, and this amazing fruit has many surprising benefits. It improves skin health by reducing wrinkles, preventing sun damage, detoxifying the skin, reducing acne, and promoting collagen production to reduce fine lines.
For this DIY skincare product, you will need one pomegranate, aloe vera, and gram flour. Now to make the scrub, take two spoons of pomegranate juice, and add it to 2 and ½ tablespoons of gram flour. And give the combination a nice mix. Now add one tablespoon of aloe vera gel to the mixture and mix it well. Your pomegranate face scrub is ready. This scrub works well for those who have oily skin.
2. Pomegranate facial scrub for dry skin
For dry skin, however, you can make a scrub using pomegranate, cocoa powder, honey, and milk. First, make pomegranate paste and add one big spoon of milk to the paste. Mix it well. Now add one tablespoon of cocoa powder and 4-5 drops of honey to the mixture. Stir it again to make a paste. And voila! You are done. Apply this face scrub to your face and gently exfoliate your skin with it. Leave this mixture on as a face mask. Rinse with water after 15 minutes.
3. Tea leaves face toner for acne
To make this acne-fighting tea, combine 1 teaspoon peppermint tea leaves, 4 teaspoons white tea leaves, ½ cup boiled distilled water, and 2 drops of lavender oil in a French press. Before boiling into a glass container, let soak for 10 minutes. Add a 4-oz spray bottle’s worth of aloe vera gel to the mixture. Before spritzing, don’t forget to keep it in the fridge.
4. Facial oil moisturizer
Moisturizer is a must-have skincare product. This homemade skin nourishing moisturizer needs only 3 ingredients – argan oil, frankincense essential oil, and lavender essential oil. Here’s how to make this skincare product at home: add essential oils to a glass dropper bottle. Next, fill the bottle with argan oil, screw the dropper top on, shake well and store it in a cool, dry spot. That is it. You now have the best organic skincare product – homemade facial oil moisturizer.
5. Foot soak
What’s more relaxing than soaking your feet in warm water after a tiring day? A simple foot soak will do the trick. And you don’t have to buy those expensive foot soaks. Instead, you can make one at home with this homemade skincare recipe. All you need is baking soda. Take a shallow tub and add a ratio of 1/2 cup baking soda for every gallon of warm water. Stir the powder until it dissolves. Soak your feet in it for 30 minutes. Then rinse away the baking soda and pat your feet dry.
6. Honey lip scrub
Want that perfect pout? We have the best homemade skincare recipe for it! Mix one teaspoon of coconut oil and raw honey with 2 tablespoons of raw sugar and a dash of lemon juice in a small bowl. Apply that mixture to your lips in a gentle, circular motion. You can use a toothbrush here. Wash it off, and then apply a lip balm.
7. Lip blam
You can make organic lip balm easily at home with only a few kitchen ingredients. You need coconut oil, sweet almond oil, essential oils, beeswax, and a couple of empty lip balm jars. First, melt almond oil, coconut oil, and beeswax in a double boiler on low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and add essential oils. Next, use those empty lip balm jars and fill them with the prepared lip balm. Let it cool for a few hours to firm up before using it.
8. Cucumber eye mask
We found a unique way to use cucumber slices other than the typical eye masks. That is, grating them. Take a cold cucumber and grate it (grated cucumber releases the enzymes that are good for your skin) over a paper towel. Next, wrap the pieces like a burrito and compress them. Now use them as you would use the slices.
9. Honey facial masks
One of the best things you can do for your body is to have raw honey in your kitchen (and actually use it). One of the ways you can use honey for your skin is by making a hydrating honey and yogurt facial mask. For this DIY skincare product, you need only two ingredients: raw honey and plain yogurt. Mix one tablespoon of raw honey with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply the mask to the face. Then wipe the mask off with a warm washcloth. And, now you’re more than ready to go and flaunt your glowing face!
10. Face cleanser for all skin types
Store-bought facial cleansers can sometimes be harsh as they strip the natural hydration from the skin. This is where enters DIY skincare products – homemade facial cleansers for all skin types. All you need is castile soap, almond oil, vitamin E oil, ylang ylang essential oil, frankincense essential oil, and lavender essential oil (you can customize the essential oils). Take all the ingredients in a bottle, add water to the mixture, and shake it well. There you go. You now have an all-natural facial cleanser.
So instead of spending tons of money on commercially made beauty products, why not try making your own? These homemade skincare products will be twice as effective as store-bought ones, and half the price! Not only will you save money by making your own homemade skincare products, but you will feel better knowing exactly what you are applying.
