Beauty Day: DIY Recipes

Spas are a great way for us to relax and feel fresh and clean, however they can be quite expensive. I decided to share with you some of the most effective masks that I've found online to help ease the pain in your wallet. 

Turmeric Face Mask - A great way to exfoliate your face. Helps to treat acne as well as diminish hyperpigmentation. I recommend using this twice a week. Apply using a makeup brush or fingers, leave on till it drys or alternatively 15 minutes. Beware, turmeric stains everything! Don't dry your face with a towel after washing the mask off, use tissue paper!

Recipe:

1 teaspoon of turmeric

2 tablespoons of plain yogurt (yes, you can use Greek yogurt)

1/2 teaspoon of honey

Sugar Lip Scrub - Fast and efficient way to prevent and remove chapped lips. The sugar exfoliates your skin and the olive oil helps to moisturise your lips. Apply with fingers and rub your lips in circular motions to get the most dead skin out. Use once a week.

Recipe:

2 teaspoons of brown or white sugar

1 teaspoon of olive oil

Egg and Yogurt Hair Mask - Eggs are filled with protein which help to stimulate the hair follicles and make your hair grown faster. The yogurt/olive oil is a great moisturiser and gets rid of all split and dry ends. Use every week for best results. Leave in for about 1 hour and wash out normally. For an even coat, apply with a hair-dyeing brush on dry or semi-wet hair.

Recipe:

1 egg.

1 tablespoon of olive oil.

1/2 teaspoon of honey.

2 heaped tablespoons of yogurt.

Optional: dash of cinnamon (helps to stimulate the scalp for a boost of hair growth)

I hope you enjoy using these recipes and feel free to pass these along to friends and family!
