3 HOMEMADE BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR YOUR SKIN'S MOST PLEASURABLE LIFESTYLE! 🧖🏼♀️
Many Nolijettes they expressed their desire to discover beauty tips that would allow everyday champions to take better care of them 😉. So we decided to share some homemade recipes with you so you can create your own skincare products and enjoy moments of well-being 🍃
So go ahead and treat yourself!
FIRST STEP, LET'S GO CRAZY!
Our skin is under constant attack, and therefore it's essential to take care of it. The first step is exfoliation. Exfoliation removes all the dead skin cells and to be able to restore shine.
We will therefore first share our homemade moisturizing scrub made from natural ingredients, at a lower cost and with ingredients that are easy to find, especially in your kitchen.
For this recipe, you will need a tablespoon of sugar to help remove impurities. Choose fine sugar to avoid irritating your skin.
A tablespoon of honey 🐝 for its nourishing and moisturizing properties. And finally, a tablespoon of vegetable oil such as olive or sweet almond oil to gently nourish your skin.
To apply your scrub, thoroughly remove your makeup and then cleanse your skin. Next, lightly dampen your skin, apply the scrub, and gently massage in circular motions without pressing too hard to avoid irritating your skin. Finally, rinse with lukewarm water and then moisturize your skin. Repeat your scrub once a week.
SECOND STEP, WE FEED!
Your children don't like eating your overripe bananas 🍌? And neither do you?
Problem solved! Use your bananas to create a nourishing mask that will pamper your skin. This mask will soothe and deeply hydrate your skin after you've exfoliated. 🧴 In a bowl, mash a ripe banana until you have a puree.
Next, add a plain yogurt along with two teaspoons of honey and mix everything together.
Apply it to your entire cleansed face, massaging gently and avoiding the eye area.
Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse.
With the moisturizing properties of banana and the soothing effect of honey, your skin will thank you!
STEP THREE, HYDRATE!
And since lips 👄 should not be neglected and especially should be very well hydrated in winter as in summer, we have found for you a recipe to make your own 100% natural lip balm without superfluous products!
To make a lip balm, you will need several ingredients. Vegetable butters such as shea butter or cocoa butter are essential. Their advantage is their strong moisturizing properties, making them ideal for caring for damaged or chapped lips.
Next, use vegetable oil. Keep in mind that each oil has a specific property. Coconut oil is good for hydration, apricot kernel oil is suitable for all skin types, sweet almond oil is good for very dry lips, and carrot oil prepares the skin for the summer sun.
Then wax such as candelilla wax for the plant-based aspect or beeswax. The wax is what gives your lip balm its texture. The wax shouldn't be too runny so it holds its shape in a stick or pot. You can adjust the amount to achieve a creamier texture when applied.
It will be necessary to add a natural preservative to preserve it for several months. For example, you can use wheat germ oil or vitamin E oil; these are readily available in your usual organic stores.
And finally, the finishing touch: essential oils to personalize your balm according to your needs. Your mood or preferences. The essential oil will give your balm a taste and scent, but some oils have properties that you can choose according to your needs.
Here's the recipe we chose for a lip balm with a delicious vanilla flavor 😊:
5g of shea butter
5ml of coconut oil
2g of beeswax
2 drops of wheat germ oil
2 drops of vanilla essential oil
To prepare, melt the shea butter with the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler.
Once cooled, add the wheat germ oil and vanilla essential oil.
Mix everything together until you get a smooth paste.
Pour the mixture into the container of your choice, let it cool and you're done!
Your lips will thank you 🙏
