There’s such a large amount of beauty and body products available from such a large amount of brands that it can sometimes be a chore to sift through the options and find something that works well for you with the ingredients that you like. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just make your own DIY versions of your favourite beauty products at home in your kitchen? Well now you can!
The DIY beauty tutorials below include products we all know and love, but they don’t contain any nasty chemicals or artificial ingredients. The DIY skincare, makeup and haircare products can all amazingly be made with ingredients in your fridge, store cupboard or medicine cabinet, making them cheaper than store bought versions and much better for your body too! In addition, the items made by following these tutorials would make great gifts!
DIY Charcoal Facemask
This facemask is made with chamomile tea, coconut oil, essential oils and charcoal capsules. Many people have charcoal capsules already in their kitchen or medicine cabinet to help in a range of situations from digestive issues to accidental poisoning of animals and humans. In this DIY Beauty tutorial the charcoal is put to good use as it can absorb over 100 times its weight in oils, dirt and toxins, meaning it draws out impurities from the skin and leaves it amazingly fresh and clean.
DIY Sugar Wax
At home hair removal can be costly and irritating as single-use supplies are needed and the wax can often contain chemicals and fragrances that irritate the skin. However, this wax is made from just three ingredients- white sugar, water and lemon juice. For this wax you don’t need any other equipment like spreading tools or strips in order to begin removing hair, just scoop out a ball of the wax, spread it on the skin and rip off to leave it smooth and hair-free. This DIY beauty product is cheap and easy but very effective!
Homemade Pore Strips
This DIY pore strip tutorial is easy to follow and uses just unflavoured gelatine and milk, both of which you’re likely to already have in your kitchen at home. This strip is like a peel off mask in that it can be applied to the whole face and peeled away to leave brighter, smoother blackhead-free skin. This is a great beauty DIY that your skin will thank you for!
DIY Sunscreen
This DIY sunscreen tutorial uses easy kitchen ingredients as well as zinc oxide powder which produces the sun protection for your skin. This is a simple tutorial that will keep your skin soft and moisturised while you enjoy time in the sun, and you’ll be protected from harmful sun rays and burning.
Peppermint Sugar Scrub Tutorial
This brilliant DIY sugar scrub is especially great for the feet and uses cheap and easy sugar as the main ingredient. The moisturising scrub is great for a range of uses such as removing hard skin from feet, softening dry elbows and exfoliating before shaving the legs.
DIY PH Balanced Shampoo
This shampoo tutorial uses all natural ingredients so you can be sure it isn’t going to harm your scalp or hair. The shampoo is PH balanced unlike some shop bought and mass produced shampoos, which means its much closer to the natural PH of your scalp so won’t cause any adverse reactions. The ingredients of this DIY beauty product can also be bought organically too, which makes this a brilliant DIY tutorial.
DIY Dry Shampoo
If you like to use dry shampoo between hair washes but find it expensive then this is a great DIY tutorial for you. These tutorial includes instructions for both normal dry shampoo and DIY dry shampoo for darker hair which is very useful if normal hair powders tend to leave a white cast. The genius ingredient in this recipe is unsweetened cocoa powder, so if you have any in your cupboard it will definitely be put to good use.
Homemade Shaving Cream Tutorial
This DIY shaving cream looks good enough to eat, but is much better spread on your legs to make shaving easier and leave skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards. All that’s needed is a few home ingredients like coconut oil and the help of an electric whisk to make a brilliant DIY beauty product.
Easy DIY Mascara
Who would have thought that mascara could be made at home with just a few everyday ingredients? This is a quick and easy DIY tutorial that will show you how to make your own black mascara that doesn’t contain the chemical ingredients of commercially available products.
Organic DIY Foundation Tutorial
This ‘smooth finish’ foundation tutorial is a great one, and makes a difference to the host of powder foundation tutorials out there. The DIY foundation is a creamy consistency that moisturises and provides light coverage, all using store cupboard ingredients! A great beauty DIY to try out if you’re looking for a natural alternative to your usual makeup.
