Are you curious about using homemade beauty products? It’s no secret that you’ve got access to a whole host of beauty-enhancing products. You only have to visit a local drugstore or beauty clinic to discover an array of items that promise to make you look more youthful and radiant.

The trouble is that some of those products contain questionable chemicals, and many will have been tested on animals before being offered for human use. 

You’re likely reading this blog post today because you want to try some homemade alternatives that are kind to your skin and body and ethically-produced.

You might not know it, but there are several ways you can look and feel younger using homemade beauty products! You can even make homemade beauty products with essential oils. Here’s what you need to know:

Homemade Beauty Products - avocado

Avocado And Honey Face Mask

Avocados are packed with vitamins C and E and antioxidants. Applying a avocado face mask with honey (which has antibacterial properties) will help leave your face feeling smooth, moisturized and feeling great.

The easiest way to make this face mask is by adding some avocado and a tablespoon of water and honey into a blender and mixing it all together into a paste.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons of honey

Instructions:

  1. Start by selecting a ripe avocado. You'll know it's ripe when it's slightly soft to the touch, and the skin is easily peelable.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a clean bowl. Mash it with a fork until you have a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the mashed avocado. Honey is a natural humectant and has antibacterial properties that can help with acne and skin irritation.
  4. Mix the avocado and honey together until you have a well-blended paste.
  5. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water to remove any makeup or impurities.
  6. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
  7. Apply the avocado and honey mask to your face and neck, avoiding the delicate skin around your eyes.
  8. Allow the mask to sit on your skin for about 15-20 minutes. You may want to lie down during this time to prevent the mask from dripping.
  9. After 15-20 minutes, rinse the mask off with lukewarm water. Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.
  10. Follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in the benefits of the mask.

Rosewater And Glycerin Toner

Did you know that you can create a homemade hydrating toner spray at home? All you need is some rosewater, vegetable glycerin, distilled water to dilute the glycerin, and a small reusable spray bottle.

If you’re wondering why you need to use glycerin, the answer is simple: it attracts and draws water to the skin. The rosewater doesn’t just make your toner smell nice, it also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Coconut Oil Eye Cream

Do you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines on your face without using potentially harsh chemical cosmetics? If the answer is yes, coconut oil eye cream is one homemade beauty product you can make at home using just a few simple ingredients.

Coconut oil has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, making it the perfect choice for reducing wrinkles and fine lines; it’s also good for keeping your pores clear.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin E oil (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of aloe vera gel (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by ensuring your coconut oil is in a semi-solid state. Coconut oil tends to solidify at cooler temperatures. If it's already solid, gently warm it up a bit by placing the jar in a bowl of warm water or microwave it for a few seconds until it becomes liquid.
  2. In a clean and dry container, combine the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. If you'd like to enhance the cream's moisturizing properties, you can also add 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin E oil, which is rich in antioxidants and known for its skin benefits. Aloe vera gel can provide a soothing effect and is an excellent addition as well, but it's optional.
  3. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even consistency.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a small, airtight container. It's a good idea to use a container that's suitable for eye creams or lip balms, as this will make the application easier.
  5. Store the container in a cool, dry place. Coconut oil may solidify again at lower temperatures, but it will quickly melt when it comes into contact with your skin.

How to Use:

  • Apply a small amount of the coconut oil eye cream around your eyes in the morning and/or at night. Gently pat the cream into the skin using your ring finger, which exerts the least pressure.
  • Be careful not to get the cream into your eyes, as coconut oil can temporarily blur vision. If this happens, rinse your eyes with cool water.

This homemade eye cream is a natural way to moisturize the skin around your eyes and may help reduce the appearance of fine lines. Coconut oil is known for its moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties, while vitamin E oil can provide extra antioxidants to protect the skin. Aloe vera gel is soothing and can help reduce puffiness. If you have sensitive skin or experience any irritation, discontinue use.

Oatmeal Exfoliating Scrub

One final homemade beauty product for you to consider is an oatmeal exfoliating scrub! Oatmeal doesn’t just taste great as a breakfast cereal or as cookies, it’s also packed full of natural goodness to help keep your skin clear and acne-free.

Make sure you finely ground the oatmeal. You can mix honey with it to help keep the skin hydrated.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of rolled oats (not instant oats)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons of plain yogurt or milk

Instructions:

  1. Place the rolled oats into a food processor or blender. Pulse the oats a few times until they are finely ground, but not too fine. You want a slightly coarse texture to provide effective exfoliation.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ground oats with 1-2 tablespoons of honey. Honey is a natural humectant and has antibacterial properties, making it great for the skin.
  3. Add 1-2 tablespoons of plain yogurt or milk to the mixture. This will help to create a paste-like consistency and provide additional moisture to your scrub. You can adjust the amount of yogurt or milk to achieve the desired texture.
  4. Mix the ingredients together until you have a smooth, uniform paste.
  5. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water to remove any makeup or impurities.
  6. Apply the oatmeal scrub to your damp face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Gently massage the scrub into your skin using circular motions for 1-2 minutes. Be sure to be gentle to avoid irritating your skin.
  7. Allow the scrub to sit on your face for another 5-10 minutes to benefit from the soothing properties of the ingredients.
  8. Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove the scrub.
  9. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
  10. Follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in the benefits of the exfoliation.
