DIY Beauty Treatments





I am a firm believer in DIY beauty products. While some products can't be mimicked, there is plenty you can can replace with items from you kitchen! I have tried and tested tonnes of DIY beauty treatments (I've even put egg in my hair - never again!) and I wanted to share with you all what I have found to be the best!




1. PORE MINIMISING FACE MASK

Ingredients: 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

Method : 1. Mix egg white and lemon juice in a bowl
               2. Apply onto face using hand or any old facial brush
               3. Leave for 5-10 minutes
               4. Wash off using cold water and pat skin dry
               5. Moisturise 

Result: Tighter, smoother, radiant skin. 



2. HAIR TREATMENT MASK

Ingredients: Coconut/ olive oil, regular conditioner 

Method: 1. Mix either coconut or olive with your regular conditioner in a bowl
              2. Apply to to hair (do not put on roots or you well get greasy hair)
              3. Leave for as long as possible, overnight is best, and wash out with warm water

Result: Soft, frizz free hair



3. BROW AND EYELASH GROWING SERUM 

Ingredients: Castor oil, coconut oil, avocado oil

Method: 1. Mix the three oils into an empty bottle (you can buy sets of empty travel-sized bottles in Pennys)
              2. Shake bottle until mixed well
              3. Using disposable brush wands, dip into the oil and apply to eyelashes as if you were applying mascara, and brush through eyebrows
              4. Repeat nightly before going to bed

Result: Longer, thicker eyelashes and eyebrows



4. HONEY LIP SCRUB

Ingredients: Brown sugar, honey, olive oil

Method: 1. Mix the three ingredients into a small empty bottle or jar
              2. Apply to wet lips
              3. Scrub in a circular motion
              4. Wipe off scrub with water or towel
              5. Apply lip balm
               
Result: soft, chapped-free lips 



5. BLACKHEAD  REMOVER STRIPS

Ingredients: Unflavoured gelatin, milk

Method: 1. Mix a small amount of milk and liquid gelatin in to a bowl
              2. Apply over nose area evenly
              3. Leave until mixture hardens on skin
              4. Peel off like normal blackhead remover strip
              5. Splash face with cold water
              6. Moisturise 

Result: Blackhead free skin!
