Beauty products can be downright expensive. When they say beauty is expensive, they were not joking. Commercialized beauty products already cost a ton of money. How much more if you opt for the organic ones? They cost a limb if you ask me. Well, at least for a product that doesn’t last.

What you can do is opt for DIY beauty products that are made from natural food products and not buy the ones you know are filled with different chemicals. OTC medicines or creams are sure to have side effects like dryness, itchiness or even allergies.

Check these out and give them a whirl!

DIY Beauty Products to Try at Home

Acne Gel

Acne is said to be a never ending battle. You get rid of it at some point but then it always comes back with a vengeance. It’s because in the long run, dirt and oil will store up in your pores and under your skin. Opt for a natural one. This is made with Aloe Vera gel for hydration and essential oils for treating the acne. See the full recipe here.

Face Moisturizer

If you have really sensitive skin, chances are, store bought moisturizers have the opposite effect on your face. Then again, organic ones are really expensive. Try making this with Aloe Vera gel, beeswax, almond oil and your favorite essential oil for the scent. Full recipe here.

Brown Sugar Lip Scrub

Say goodbye to chapped lips with this three-ingredient beauty product. It’s made with brown sugar, honey and coconut oil. Grab the full recipe here.

Coconut Rose Body Scrub

Getting rid of dead skin isn’t something you can only do at the spa anymore. You can make your own body scrub that’s not harsh on the skin and say goodbye to dead skin cells! This one smells nice to boot! See the full recipe here.

Charcoal Peel-Off Mask

Charcoal masks are all over the internet and people have wondered what’s with all the hype? Well, I gave it a try and it’s super effective in emptying your pores! But they can be expensive if you use it regularly. So, make your own at home! Grab the recipe here.

There you have it. These are the five top DIY beauty products I personally recommend. I love the Aloe Vera gel the most because it keeps my face hydrated and you need hydration on your skin if you live where I live!
