Looking to make your beauty products at home? Here are eight easy yet effective recipes that you can try.

Here’s a simple recipe for making your sunscreen using natural ingredients:

Mix one teaspoon of raw honey, 1/2 cup of coconut oil, and two tablespoons of cocoa butter. Add five drops of carrot seed essential oil and lavender essential oil, along with a pinch of vitamin E . Stir the mixture well before applying it to clean skin. You may need to melt down the ingredients if they have solidified.

Here’s a scrub that will help get rid of the gunk stuck in your pores:

Grind six tablespoons of organic coffee beans to make a fine powder. Add this powder to 2 tablespoons of raw honey and apple cider vinegar. Store the mixture in an airtight jar before applying it on damp skin with gentle circular motions, focusing mostly on areas where blackheads are more prominent. Leave the mixture on for 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

Try making your toothpaste using these ingredients:

Combine one teaspoon of baking soda, coconut oil, and peppermint oil. Slowly add in 5 teaspoons of raw honey, stirring well between each addition. You can store the mixture in a clean, empty jar with a tight lid before applying a pea-sized amount to wet toothbrush bristles.

Here’s how you can make your lotion bars using beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, almond extract, and vitamin E:

Combine melted beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, and almond extract equally. Add five drops of vitamin E to the mixture before pouring it into tins. Leave the tins on a counter to solidify before storing them in a cool, dry place.

Here’s how to make an effective deodorant using natural ingredients:

Combine 1 part baking soda, two parts cornstarch, and five parts melted coconut oil. Add ten drops of lavender essential oil as well as your preferred choice of fragrance or essential oil to the mixture before stirring well. Pour the mixture into a jar with a tight lid and store it in a cool area until you’re ready to apply it.

Here’s a perfect way to use aloe vera gel:

Cut open a fresh aloe vera leaf and remove the clear gel from the inside. Stir in 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil before transferring the mixture into an airtight jar. Apply the gel as needed to your face, hands, feet, or other areas that require attention.

Make your wrinkle cream using these ingredients:

Combine one tablespoon of raw shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. Add 20 drops of frankincense essential oil and five drops each of geranium and sandalwood essential oils. Let the mixture sit for a few hours before transferring it to an airtight jar, where you can apply it as needed on fine lines and wrinkles.

Making your hair conditioner is easy with shea butter, coconut milk, jojoba oil, aloe vera gel, and essential oils:

Gently melt two tablespoons of shea butter. Stir in 10 drops each of ylang-ylang, geranium, lavender, and sandalwood essential oils, as well as one teaspoon of coconut milk. Transfer the mixture into an airtight jar before applying it on damp hair after shampooing. Leave the conditioner on for 5 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.

Additional Tips:

When using essential oils, make sure to use food-grade oil whenever possible. This will ensure that your homemade beauty products are safe and effective. Make sure that you never substitute pure essential oils for extracts because extracts can cause serious irritation or even allergic reactions. While this guide provides ways of creating home-based beauty products by yourself, there’s nothing like natural ingredients infused in certified organic skincare products to achieve optimum results.
