I’m the first person to admit that I’m a beauty junkie. After I had my daughter, I started to look for more natural products and was amazed by how easy it was to make some of my own products at home. In lieu of a traditional recipe for self-care issue, here are two of my favorite recipes to give myself a spa at home with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. These recipes could not be simpler. Find a few minutes in your day to try one or join up with a mommy friend at an in-home play date and try them together – you and your kiddos may think you’re silly but it’s worth it!
Avocado Honey Mask
Ingredients
- ¼ Avocado
- 1 Tbsp Plain Yogurt (I tend to use more or less depending on the ripeness of my avocado)
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Directions
1. Add all of the ingredients in a bowl
2. Mash up the avocado as you mix it in with the yogurt and honey. Mix to your desired consistency (I like the mask to be a little thicker to keep it from dripping everywhere).
3. Leave on for 10-20 minutes
4. Rinse well (I suggest using a washcloth as this mask is messy and sticky!)
5. Admire your glowing skin!
Coconut Sugar Lip Scrub
Ingredients
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1-2 tsp sugar (I like to use brown sugar)
Directions
This lip scrub could not be easier! Mix the ingredients in a small bowl or jar and apply to your lips. I recommend applying this while standing over a sink as it is crumbly and bits will fall as you use it. Gently scrub your lips either with your finger or a washcloth for 1-2 minutes. Rinse off!
