DIY STYLE!!-Beauty treatments at home!

Hi Everyone!!

I thought i would do a little post on the little treatments you can do at home to get skin flawless! Going to the salon/spa is expensive and lets face it we don't all have the time or the money! You can just do simple things using things you probably already have at home or can grab easily on the cheap which for me work just as well!!


Steaming



You really dont need to go out and buy a beauty steamer!All you need is a bowl of freshly boiled water from the kettle!! Put your head over the bowl and put the towel over your head-its that simple and it is the best way to thouroughly deep clean your pores!! It is optional to add things to the water. For oily skin you could use a drop of tea tree oil or a squeeze of lemon juice, For sensitive skin a chammomile tea bag and for normal skin any essential oil you fancy e.g rose. To help aid sleep lavender oil would be a good one to use. Due to the hot temperature this will open the pores and drag all the impurities including traces of make up, dust and toxins etc from the skin leaving you with fresh clean skin hence preventing blemishes.


Lip Scrub

                       

 

I love this as i suffer from chapped lips and its the most unattractive look ever!! Picking your skin off your lips also is painful as when you only mean to take a bit off you end up ripping off more than you bargained for lol! ouchy!!This is great and so simple and you can make different flavours! Go to LUSH and get some inspiration for flavours even though everytime i walk in one of those shops i come out with a banging headache as the scents are so strong and powerful!haha! LUSH do lip scrubs but why buy one when you can make your own with stuff you most likely have shoved in the cupboard! Then once you have put it in a cute pot you just take a smidge and rub all over your lips and watch all the dead skincells fall off!! Then when you have soft plush lips just add your favourite lippie!!

Just mix 1tbsp Honey, 1tbsp sugar and 1tbsp olive oil togther. Then add any sort of flavourings! I like mint, vanilla or coconut! But whatever you like! Lemon, lime,strawberry,coffee, chocolate etc!!Try it, its amazing!!


Honey mask benefits



Ohh Honeeey!!! Honey has so many properties to help different skintypes:

Acne prone- Honey is naturally antibacterial so is great for acne prevention
Anti ageing- Contains antioxidants therefore slowing down the ageing processs
Dull skin- Great to create a glow as is a natural moisturizer and skin reviver
Pores- Honey clarifies pores and opens them up making them easier to unclog

Mask: 1 tbsp honey, 1tbsp oats, 1 egg

Mix these 3 together and hey presto you have a mask which you can just slap on, leave until dried and then rinse off with warm water. Plus will cover 4 skin problems in one hit!! BOOM!!



Dark under eye circles redeemer




Potatoes are great for lightening dark under eye circles due to a enzyme in them. This enzyme is used in some cosmetics because of its lightening purposes. The starch seems to even out any redness which you may get from broken capillaries which are under the skin. These mainly are more prominent on the eyelids as the skin on the eye is a very thin layer. Never drag the skin under tthe eye or be too heavy handed as this could cause more wrinkles. Use your ring finger to apply maake up to this area as that has the lightest touch.

Eye cure: Grate a potato and squeeze any excess water out, then grate some cucumber and do the same. Mash up and apply to the eye area. Not only does the potatoe do its magic the cucumber will refresh, cool and soothe the eye to awaken the look of tired peepers!!


Bath time detox



Green tea has some incredible health benefits when you drink it. But bathing in it really lifts your spirits! Also it draws out any harmful toxins and will heal any open sores or wounds which you may have on your body. It contains vitamin and antioxidants that will soothe, replenish and help your body fight illnesses. It also contains anti inflammatory properties too so can reduce pain in the neck and back where the muscles can get tight and in knots from the daily strain of life! I know this from sitting at a computer all the time e.g right now lol!! So next time you bath lob a few green tea bags in and see if you feel any different!! P.s THE WATER LOOKS HORRIBLE before you even get in lol but it just means the good stuff has been released into the water!!



Well, these are just a few of my favourite things to do at home with the stuff i usually have floating around my house! I could find a beauty thing to do with almost anything i reckon!!lol! I hope you have enjoyed reading it and i hope this inspires you to make your own home remedies with whatever you have!
