DIY beauty :)

Just thought I'd start a thread on your little beauty tricks...

I will share a goodie: know all those $60-70 vitamin C beauty creams? I make my own.
Crush up a vitamin C tab and mix it with your favorite moisturizer. Just be conservative or you'll wind up with an acid peel!!!

I have crushed a bunch of them before in a little water and used this gritty mixture to exfoliate pre-waxing but it is HARSH and shouldn't be left on for more than a minute. VERY exfoliating and a lot like a spa peel.

Stay out of the sun if you're gonna try it. Feel free to PM me w questions -- I love this stuff!

Ok, I gave my secret up -- hook me up with some of yours?!

Not really a secret, but I love baby oil after a shower. Keeps my skin soft.

my secret is I use nothing....

Lemons.

Just rub some on your skin. A natural toner. Gets rid of dark sun spots or acne scars. Not sure how it will be for those with dry skin. It has been working well for me.

I do this too. I love how soft it makes my skin. Sometimes I'll soak my feet in hot water and baby oil... feels great after a day of work

Someone should try coconut oil on their hair! I just bought a leave in conditioner with coconut oil in it, it smells great and my hair is so soft.

Also not a secret but...
I brush with baking soda and a bit of salt a few times a week to keep my teeth sparkly. Much cheaper and less painful that whitening.

Every other day, i do a natural scrub, In a small plastic container i mix salt with brown and regular sugar, equal portions, a little bit of avocado, or almond oil, and what ever essential oil I have in the house( my fav is vanilla) . Mix all of them and scrub when you are in the shower, at the end just rinse, don't rub with your towel . Your skin will glow
