Beautification does not have to cost an arm and a leg. You
do not have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a year on beauty
products. These beauty hacks can be made from items you likely already have
on-hand in your pantry at home. Items you do not have on-hand are easily
purchased from a local grocer.
Make a Homemade
Facial Scrub

Facial scrubs using raw sugar, Greek yogurt, cucumber and
honey are inexpensive and effective. The sugar acts as the abrasive ingredient
to help exfoliate your skin. Similar, premade options, are available at online
retailers like leianiahouseofbeauty.blogspot.com.au/, as an example. To make a homemade scrub, mix ½ cup of the
Greek yogurt with ¼ cup raw sugar, 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of
cucumber juice. Mix the ingredients together and refrigerate them to marry the
ingredients and allow it to firm up a bit. It is ready for use after just 2
hours in the fridge.
Condition Hair with
Mayonnaise
A great, natural conditioner for your hair is mayonnaise. It
is best to use actual mayonnaise and not salad dressing (Kraft and Miracle Whip
brands as examples), as these contain different ingredients and do not provide
the same results. Apply ¼ cup of mayonnaise to your hair before washing it.
Massage it in and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. This works better than those
expensive hot oil treatments. Use the hottest water that you can stand to rinse
it out to prevent oily residue from forming on your hair.
Homemade Face
Masks/Moisturizers
Rather than spending money on moisturizer creams and face
masks, you can make them at home with just a few, cheap ingredients. The
simplest moisturizer is mixing 1 vitamin E capsule contents into ¼ cup Greek
yogurt and 1 tablespoon of aloe vera. Now, you can either use this as a
moisturizer or leave it on longer to let it become a hardened mask.
Hair Dying Trick
When dying your hair, you are likely to worry about getting
some of it on the skin around your hair line, on your ears or down your
neck/shoulder area. Use a cold cream, aloe lotion or even shower gel around
your hair line to make a 1-inch perimeter as protection. If you do get some of
the dye on your skin, it will not stain or dry if it gets onto the cream/soap
barrier. You’ll be able to easily wipe away the excess without staining your
skin.
Cut-Free Leg Shaving
What most women fail to do is properly prepare their legs
for shaving, which leads to cuts. It really is best to follow a man’s shaving
preparation techniques to achieve smooth, cut-free legs. Stand in a hot shower
for 10 minutes and let the steam and heat soften the hairs and hydrate your
skin. This makes a smoother surface to shave against, leading to cut-free
shaving.
These simple hacks save time, money and the health of your
skin since the products suggested are all-natural. Natural products “feed” your
skin the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay and look healthy. Consider
using these hacks and tossing out your store-bought products.
