Homemade Beauty Treatments Recipes

When we talk of beauty treatments, they mainly consist of skin care and hair care. The simple process of skin care includes cleansing, scrubbing, toning and moisturizing. On the other hand, hair care involves shampooing and conditioning of the hair. Here we are going to share with you some natural homemade beauty treatments that are easy to follow and will serve your purpose too.

Recipe for Skin Cleanser
Cleansing the face is one of the most important part of any skin care regime. A simple natural skin cleanser can be prepared with the help of honey lemon juice and plain yogurt. Yogurt cleanses up the skin, lemon juice tones up the skin, and honey will moisturize the skin. To prepare the cleansing mixture, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 4 tablespoons of yogurt. Massage it well into the skin for 3 minutes so that the essential qualities are absorbed well into the skin, and then wash off with water. Read more on natural facial cleansers.

Recipe for Skin Toner
You need one medium size cucumber and 2 teaspoonfuls of honey to prepare a natural skin toner. Peel the cucumber, cut it into random pieces and make a puree out of it by putting it in a blender. Separate the juice from the puree by straining it through a cheesecloth. Add honey into the juice and put the mixture in a clean bottle and store it in the refrigerator. You can use it for one week. Before using, shake the bottle well so that the honey and juice is mixed well. Pour it on a cotton pad, rub it over the skin and let the solution dry on your skin. You should use it after cleansing your skin in the morning and night.

Recipe for Facial Scrub
Take one overripe strawberry, slice it and mash it well. 2 teaspoons of baking soda and one teaspoon of grounded almonds should be mixed into the strawberry to prepare a smooth paste. Now, your scrub is ready to use. First of all, dampen your face by splashing some cold water on your face. Apply the scrub gently on your skin and then rub it with the tip of your fingers using small circular motions for about 5 minutes. Do not use it around the eyes, as the skin in that area is very sensitive. Finally, wash off with warm water and dry it up thoroughly. This is suitable for all types of skin. Thus you will get rid of dull, rough skin. Read more on exfoliate skin naturally.
