If I told you to grab an egg, curd, milk, and fruits from your kitchen, you’d probably think we are out to whip up a cake. However, these ingredients can do far more than making a great dessert! Because if you were looking for quick tricks and easy tips to achieve glowing skin, a fresh face and luscious hair, look no further than your kitchen because these 5 DIY beauty hacks straight will help you look and feel beautiful!
The classic face mask
Our skin is exposed to the rough weather, harsh effects of pollution and the germs of our surroundings every day. It is so important to take care of it well and give it the nutrients and moisture it deserves to make you glow! Here is the recipe to a skin-saviour mask that is sure to leave you radiant and glowing in 15 minutes flat!
1. Take a bowl and add 4 tablespoons of yoghurt.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of oats to the yoghurt and mix thoroughly.
3. Wash your face with light soap and pat it dry.
4. Apply the mixture and wait for 15-20 minutes till the mask hardens (but not too much, or it will strip the moisture from your face)
5. Wash off the mask and clean your face dry
The ready-to-go toner
It doesn’t get simpler than this! Keeping your face fresh, clean and hydrated on the go can be quite the task from stuffing oversized wipes in your bags and expensive face mists on the market. Here is an easy way to create your own on-the-go custom toner that will leave your face feeling fresh and clean throughout the day.
1. Buy a mini spritzer bottle and fill it up with a half and half mixture of rose water and cucumber water.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the mixture.
3. Shake it up and spritz your face directly and let all the goodness soak in (or) you can spray the mixture on a tissue and wipe your face clean
The edible lip scrub
We try to change the colour of our lips to make an impression, from bright pinks to deep reds or even funkier blues. But what we fail to do is take care of them in their natural state. Excessive use of makeup and other products can ruin the texture, colour and moisture of the lips. Here is an easy scrub that will help you make your lips soft, supple and pink!
1. Take a small bowl and add a tablespoon of sugar.
2. Add a tablespoon of ground coffee beans to the sugar.
3. Add a teaspoon of honey to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. Add 2 drops of olive oil to the scrub and mix once more.
5. Take a pinch of the scrub on your finger and rub softly on your lips.
6. Wipe it off with a warm cloth or lick your lips clean!
The luscious hair mask
The hair on our head is just as precious as a crown and is the most prone to pollution and sun damage. This mask will not only make you look better but also feel more relaxed and de-stressed. Here the recipe that will help you hit two birds with one stone, but be sure to keep some towels and a shower cap handy because it can get a little messy!
1. Take a bowl and break 1-2 eggs depending on the length of your hair.
2. Beat the egg(s) well and add two tablespoons of olive oil.
3. Segment your hair into sections that will be easier to work with.
4. Take a bit of the mixture in your hands and apply across the lengths of your hair.
5. Tuck the hair into a shower cap and let it sit for 15 minutes.
6. Wash thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner to remove the mixture
Refreshing eye care
Our eyes work so hard every day and deserve so much more than a good night’s sleep or a quick afternoon nap to reward them. Help keep puffy and dull eyes at bay with this one ingredient hack that is so quick and easy to do. This trick will you give you plenty of reason to chill while feeling warm and cosy at the same time.
1. Steep 2 bags of chamomile tea in hot water and remove the bags.
2. Place the bags in the fridge for a few minutes.
3. Remove the cold tea bags and place it on your eyes while you relax and sip on your hot cup of tea.
