Homemade Substitutes for Skin Care Beauty Products You Use Daily

Many people believe that buying expensive branded skin care products will guarantee them good looks. This might be true to some extent, but these products also contain a ton of chemicals that do more harm than good. We believe that natural products are always better and you’ll be shocked to discover how many homemade products can get you fast results and will cost you a fraction of what you spend on skin care and beauty products.

1. Homemade Blackhead Remover

This is something everyone has to deal with at least once a month. Skin exfoliation is important to remove blackheads and dead layers of skin. All you need is 1 tablespoon of baking soda and clean water. Mix the ingredients together until the mixture has a paste-like consistency. After that, apply the mixture to your nose and cheeks and leave it on for 10-15 minutes so it to dries completely. Rinse with water and you’ll instantly see the positive results. Seems like a better option than buying expensive skin care creams, doesn’t it?

2. Homemade Skin Toner

As you already know, skin toner is used to remove oil and dirt from your skin. If you have an aloe vera plant at home, you can create a homemade skin toner with magical effects. Cut a thick aloe vera leaf and carefully scoop out the fresh aloe vera gel inside. Apply this gel to your face and neck, then sit back and relax for 15 minutes until it dries. Use lukewarm water to rinse your face. After a couple of uses, people around you will start noticing the glow on your skin.

3. Homemade Face Pack for Glowing Skin

What if we told you that you won’t need to sit at your skin care center for hours and get an expensive facial anymore? Just take 2 tablespoons of chickpea flour and 1 tablespoon of raw milk and mix them together to make a slightly thick paste. Chickpea flour improves the uneven skin tone and has magical effects on the oily skin. Milk, as we know, makes the skin smoother and brighter. Once the mixture is prepared, apply it to your face and leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Once it dries completely, rinse the face with lukewarm water.

4. Homemade Teeth Whitener

Having pearly white teeth is just as important as having a beautiful glowing skin. Baking soda is a common household kitchen item. Take 1 tablespoon of baking soda and mix it with 1/2 tablespoon lime juice. Apply the paste to your teeth with a brush or even your finger and let it rest there for a couple of minutes and then rinse. If you do this for a week, your dentist will start missing you soon. Whether you save a few bucks on skin care products or dental bills, it’s a saving.

5. Homemade Makeup Remover

Forget about all the expensive makeup removing products if you have coconut oil in your home. Give yourself a sublime skin treatment by applying a dab of coconut oil to your cheeks. Unlike some makeup removing products and anti-aging creams, coconut oil is a natural moisturizer and gives your face a radiant glow. If you develop a habit of massaging your face with coconut oil before going to bed daily, you’ll start noticing the glow on your skin in a matter of days.

6. Homemade Eye Lash and Eye Brow Enhancer

Of course, fake eyelashes and mascara can give your eyelashes a fuller and definitive look, but those beauty products don’t come cheap. The natural, homemade solution to this problem is castor oil. Just apply 2 drops to your eyebrows and lashes before going to sleep each night and you’ll have thick and strong ones by the end of the week. Castor oil has remarkable properties when it comes to hair growth.

7. Homemade Wax for Facial Hair

The chemicals in bleach and other hair removal products can do a great deal of damage to the skin cells. Instead of buying expensive hair removal and skin care products, this homemade natural wax can do the same trick. Just take 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 cup of lemon juice (without the seeds) and mix the ingredients together. Next, heat up this mixture for 10-15 minutes until the color turns golden-brown. Turn off the stove and let the mixture cool down a bit. Upon cooling down it will become sticky, just like wax. Apply it to your skin, pull it gently, and voila! You can even store the mixture in your icebox to heat it up and reuse it next time.

These homemade and completely natural skin care treatments are perfect substitutes to the expensive beauty and skin products on the market. Enjoy!
