6 beauty treatments you can do at home

03/26/2020 15:53 CET By Aimée Bourrillon
LEER EN ESPAñOL

Times are uncertain and tough at the moment, so in addition to saluting you for staying home and contributing to your entire community’s health, we’d like to help you make spending extra time at home more manageable. What better way to do that than to show you how to prepare your own beauty treatments?

Made from  ingredients you’re sure to have at home, these masks and exfoliants will help you pamper your skin and hair. Once you’ve read this article, you’ll be surprised by how easy it is to treat yourself and how much you’ll enjoy the process. Take note of these simple steps to create an at-home spa. Let’s get down to it!

For damaged hair

This hair mask is ideal to rejuvenate split ends. You’ll only need two tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of honey and one egg. Combine all the ingredients and apply the mask only to your ends. Let it work its magic for 30 minutes. Remove the mask with warm water and remember to use this treatment once a week.

Why does it work? Olive oil helps nourish and restore damaged hair, while honey has antioxidants that protect your hair from dryness by adding shine and softness.​

What does the egg do? It helps to remove grease. If you have dry hair, it’s best to only use the egg white. Use both the white and the yolk on normal hair.​

To pamper your face

Have an avocado at home? This wonder of nature is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that will help dry and even acne-prone skin. It also contains properties that will slow the signs of aging, so this mask will give you incredible number of benefits.​

All you have to do is remove the skin from the avocado and smash. Apply it to your face for 10 minutes and remove with cold water. Your skin will feel clean and moisturized.

For soft, smooth skin

An exfoliating treatment is one of the best ways to make the most of your time at home. You’ll need one cup of sugar (preferably brown sugar), half a cup of sea salt, two tablespoons of olive or coconut oil, and one tablespoon of honey; if you like, you can add a tablespoon of your favorite essential oil and two tablespoons of lemon juice.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and apply the mixture all over your body, massaging it into your skin in soft circles. Remember that you should not be exposed to sunlight, as this concoction contains citrus.

Next, remove it with warm water and don’t forget to apply lotion afterward. This scrub is not suitable for your face, because rock salt and brown sugar can irritate this sensitive skin. For a facial scrub, mix two tablespoons of granulated sugar with one tablespoon of olive or coconut oil and massage it into your skin.

Say goodbye to bags under your eyes

If you suffer from bags or puffiness under your eyes, open your kitchen cabinet and grab two bags of green tea. Dunk them in hot water and stick them in the fridge. Once they are cold, place them under your eyes for 20 minutes.

Green tea is full of antioxidants and helps constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation.

Don’t forget your hands

Olive oil and lemon are the basis of yet another homemade beauty remedy on this list, but this time, you’re going to use them on your hands and nails.

Mix three tablespoons of olive oil with the juice of half of a lemon. Soak your hands in this concoction for at least 10 minutes and rub it in. Next, wash your hands with soap and water. Voilà! You’re bound to notice the difference.

What about your feet?

They also deserve some pampering. Pineapple is full of anti-inflammatory properties. So, mix pineapple juice with warm water and let your feet soak for 15 minutes. You’ll feel your feet relax and get incredibly soft.

These are truly simple treatments that will not only make you look even more beautiful, but they’ll also help you make the most of your time at home. Give them a try!​
