Homemade Beauty Creations

Heeeeeeeeeey! So I was going over some of my notes and I realized I had so many homemade beauty recipes. I decided to fill you guys in with all these awesome and easy recipes that will help you in so many ways.

Sugar and Honey Scrub

As I mentioned before, a mixture of brown sugar and honey can create a great and well scented scrub that can remove dead skin cells. The amount of ingredients that you want to add is totally up to you depending on what body part you are exfoliating. For a facial exfoliator you want one part honey and two parts sugar. So it is safe to say the ratio of Honey to Sugar is 1:2.

 *If you wish you can substitute the honey for any kind of Oil (e.i. Almond Oil; Olive Oil; Coconut Oil.) Also you can add a Vitamin E pill or baby oil.

Coffee Body Scrub

Coffee body scrub has originally gained fame as a cellulite natural remedy. There is a supposed connection between caffeine and cellulite in that caffeine is able to pull out the fluid that is found between fat cells. By doing so, it decreases the appearance of the dimpled skin leaving it even and smooth.

This is only one variation of the coffee scrub recipe. You can add olive oil to it, egg or only egg white, crack open a Vitamin E pill, or even add oatmeal, sea salt and brown sugar.

This Scrub is AWESOME for morning use. The aroma will instantly wake you and your body up.

2 cups of coffee grounds

1/2 cup sea salt or 1/2 cup of brown sugar

2/3 tablespoon of massage oil (Any plain, cheap massage oil will do). I used Almond body oil.

Eye Makeup Remover

Ran out of your makeup remover towelettes? Try this! Easy and super fast.

1 cup of water

1 1/2 tablespoons of Tear-Free Baby Shampoo

1/8 teaspoon of Baby Oil

 Pour it into a container and store in your vanity. It's Gentle and awesome.

Shake Well before every use !

 

Toning/Tightening Lemon Mask

This mask refreshes your skin and keeps your skin intact. [Makes 1 application]

Juice from 1/2 a lemon (strained)

Beat together the egg white and lemon juice for 3 minutes.
Apply directly to your face, avoiding the eyes.
Leave on for 30 minutes.
