DIY Beauty Recipes

So I’ve been getting crafty since the New Year and tried a few DIY beauty recipes. I wanted to share my favourite with you, they’re all things you probably already have on hand, are super easy to make, and feel pretty luxurious in my opinion!

Cinnamon Lip Scrub

I haven’t found a cinnamon lip scrub in stores that I like, so I’ve been making this for myself. Cinnamon is actually a lip plumper and a natural exfoliant for smooth, soft lips. If you want a pouty look without injections, try this!

Ingredients: Ground Cinnamon Powder, Raw Honey, and Olive Oil.

Directions: Combine equal parts of all 3 ingredients in a bowl (I use 1 teaspoon) and mix well. Use it to buff out your lips in a circulation motion and apply your favourite lip balm after.

.

Oatmeal Face Mask

Oatmeal has rich anti-oxidant properties, plus I love it because it’s gentle and calming for the skin. The egg yolk and honey will leave your skin super supple and moisturized as well!

Ingredients: Honey (1 tablespoon), 1 Egg Yolk, Oatmeal.

Directions: Mix honey and egg yolk in a bowl, then slowly add oatmeal until it becomes a thick paste (I just eyeball the amount). Leave it on your face for 15 minutes and rinse off.

Coconut Honey Hair Mask

I love this one because it smells so good and my hair is silky smooth after! It’s super easy to make too, only 2 ingredients 🙂

Ingredients: Pure Raw Honey, Organic Pure Virgin Coconut Oil (processed ones with additives will dry out your hair or make it look greasy.

Directions: Mix equal parts raw honey and coconut oil (make sure the coconut oil is melted). Apply throughout strands and massage into your scalp, then tie your hair in a low bun and leave in for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
