The Most Used Aliments for Homemade Beauty Treatments

Homemade treatments must not contain any chemical substances, because otherwise they would be no different than the ones you get in professional salons, which tend to make your skin sensitive.

There are many positive aspects of using natural facial masks, but perhaps the most important one is that the ingredients are very accessible, inexpensive and healthy. You will find that most of these treatments don’t require you to go shopping for ingredients, because you most probably already have them laying around.

  1. Apple vinegar

This is an ingredient that is probably found in all households nowadays, as is has countless benefits for our health, and it also makes for a great DIY beauty treatment.

Apple vinegar can be compared to a high quality facial toner or thermal water, because it cleanses your pores very well, hydrates your skin with its nutrients and is a great antiseptic. It can work wonders protecting you from UV and the sun’s radiations, and can prevent multiple health issues such as diluted pores, acne, and dry skin.

  1. Natural bee honey

The benefits of honey have been known for a very long time. Many people consume it because of its positive benefits on our organisms, but forget that it can be also successfully used in beauty treatments. Its magical powers can hydrate our skin and treat acne – as long as it’s 100% natural honey, since otherwise it can trigger allergic reactions. The regular use of this product can prevent any kind of inflammation and skin irritation. It’s viscosity also makes it a great ingredient for preparing a DIY mask.

  1. Cinnamon

This ingredient is used in many diets because of its detoxifying properties, but did you know that it can have the same cleansing effects on your skin? A beautiful skin needs frequent detoxifying masks to eliminate toxins even from the deepest layers of skin.

Furthermore, cinnamon has many antiseptic and antibacterial effects, so it can be successfully used in antiacne facial masks. You just need to mix cinnamon with natural honey bee and gently apply the resulted mixture on the affected areas, allowing it to work its magic overnight.

  1. Oranges

A facial mask made of orange juice is perfect for dry skin, because the citric acid will help you easily eliminate dead cells. The exfoliation process will surely be smoother than the ones in professional salons, and no need to mention that it will also be much cheaper.

You can use oranges to hydrate any parts of the skin, including the knees, elbows, and other dry areas.

We recommend to either simply rub half an orange over your skin, or if you want a stronger exfoliation, you can mix in the orange juice with sugar and coconut oil.

  1. Bananas

When it comes to dry skin, I firmly believe there’s no better natural cure than bananas. They are full of vitamins and minerals, and their texture makes them perfect for even the driest skin. You can make a mask out of mashed bananas, or for extra points you can mix it with natural bee honey.

  1. Coconut oil

This is certainly the good-for-all ingredient. You can use it on body masks, for your facial skin, hair masks, or even instead of shaving soap. We recommend to apply it directly on dry places, and if you want a smooth exfoliation you can mix it with sugar or coffee grounds.

  1. Avocado

This one is definitely worth mentioning because of its richness in vitamins, minerals, healthy and nutritive oils. Being such a complex aliment, it is successfully used in many diets alongside its many uses for beauty treatments. It can help if you’re suffering from acne or if you have wrinkles.

  1. Sodium bicarbonate

There are many ways you can use sodium bicarbonate for beauty and health. It’s commonly known for being a great exfoliation ingredient, as well as for eliminating blackheads and wrinkles.

There are so many natural ingredients you can use to make your own beauty treatments, it almost makes going to a salon worthless. It all comes down to the type of skin that you have and what you’re trying to achieve. These are only a few of our favorites, and we believe it’s fascinating how many different uses these simple aliments laying in our kitchen can have.
