8 Homemade Skin Care Products You Can Easily Make Yourself

Avocados

Create a paste with fresh avocados and extra virgin olive oil and apply it to your face as a mask. Avocados are rich in healthy fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants and are wonderful at deeply nourishing and moisturising your skin, keeping it healthy. This mix can also be applied as a mask to the hair and scalp for beautiful, shiny and soft hair.

Coffee

Add some drops of water with some coarsely ground coffee and use it as a facial and body scrub. The caffeine in coffee is known to rejuvenate and stimulate the blood circulation and it
can break through clogged pores giving the skin a deep cleanse. When applied to the body during a shower, it acts as a great treatment for cellulite, as it encourages blood flow if you massage it well into the affected areas, resulting in firmer looking skin.

Sugar

Create a simple mix with brown sugar and some extra virgin coconut oil for a natural face and body scrub. This combination helps to exfoliate the skin, removing the dead layer of skin cells, to reveal a vibrant complexion. The coconut oil will help to nourish and moisturise the skin, so  hat it does not dry out from the exfoliation process.

Sea salt

Create a mix of soft sea salt flakes and extra virgin olive oil and gently scrub the body and face with it. Organic salt has excellent healing, cleansing and anti-bacterial properties, so it is
great for those who suffer from greasy skin, acne and parasite infections.

Ginger

Create a paste from ginger powder and honey or from the juice of fresh ginger root and apply it to the skin as a mask. Ginger is known to even the skin tone, improve elasticity and
encourage the blood circulation to give you a beautiful youthful complexion.

Honey

Pure and organic honey is one of the best treatments for your skin and hair, as it is full of anti-bacterial, healing and hydrating properties. Apply it to your hair as a conditioner before rinsing it out with warm water for soft and healthy hair and/or apply it to your skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne and other skin infections.

Corn flour

Create a paste from corn flour and cold rose water and apply it to your skin to reduce inflammation and redness that can result from beauty treatments, such as waxing and threading or from the sun.

Mixed herbs

Make a tea made from a dried herb mix and rinse your skin with it after using soap. Together basil, rosemary and thyme include many vitamins, minerals that help to cleanse and nourish the skin. This tea is also great for the hair, as rosemary, with the support of the other herbs, acts as a scalp disinfectant and can help to encourage hair growth and prevent hair loss.
