[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Creating Skincare Products
- Create a body wash using honey, coconut oil, and castile soap. Use of each ingredient. Stir them together in a glass or plastic container. Then, apply to a wet washcloth, pouf, or straight onto your body in the shower. Lather up, then rinse away the soap.[1]
- If desired, you may also add a 10 to 15 drops of an essential oil to give your body wash a nice scent, such as lavender, peppermint, chamomile, or orange.
- Make a body scrub with equal parts sugar and oil. Combine 1/2 cup (120 g) of sugar and 1/2 cup (120 mL) of olive or coconut oil in a glass or plastic container. Stir to combine the ingredients together. Apply the scrub to your skin in the shower and work it around to slough off dry, dead skin. Rinse thoroughly to remove the remaining scrub.[2]
- Add 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) of vanilla extract to give your body scrub a pleasant scent.[3]
- Mix up some body oil using olive oil. Making your own lotion is a great way to ensure that only natural ingredients go into it, but if you don’t have the time or ingredients, just use olive as lotion![4]
- Try adding a few drops of peppermint, lavender, lemon, or clary sage essential oil to give the oil a nice scent.
- Whip up a facial mask using ingredients in your kitchen. Facial masks come in many different varieties. You can make a facial mask using food from your kitchen and achieve the same results as a pre-made mask you’d find in a beauty supply store.[5]
- Combine 1/2 of an avocado, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of yogurt, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of honey for a moisturizing mask.
- Whisk egg whites with orange juice and turmeric for a pore minimizing mask.
- Mix honey with cinnamon and lemon for a calming face mask.
- Stir raw oats into honey and mashed banana for a redness-reducing mask.

Wet your hair and apply a quarter-sized amount (about 15 mL) to your hair. Work it in with your fingertips and then rinse it away.[6]
- Mix in 1 tbsp (15 mL) of olive oil for a moisturizing shampoo.
- Add 2 to 3 drops of essential oil to create a scented shampoo.
- Mix up your own conditioner using ingredients from your kitchen. Mix 1 mashed banana or avocado, or of plain, whole-milk yogurt with 1 tsp (5 mL) of coconut or olive oil, and 1 tsp (5 mL) of honey. Apply the conditioner to your hair after you shampoo it. Let it sit for about 3 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly to get all of the conditioner out.[7]
- Keep in mind that this mixture won’t keep at room temperature. Put it in an air-tight container and store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- If you want something you can spritz into your hair to help detangle it, make a leave-in conditioner.
- Combine gelatin and water for a natural hairspray. Add 1 tsp (5 g) of gelatin to of hot water. Stir the gelatin into the water until it dissolves. Let the water cool, and then transfer the gelatin hairspray to a spray bottle. Spritz it onto wet or dry hair as needed.[8]
- You can store the hairspray at room temperature for about 6 months, but shake it before each use as the gelatin may separate from the water.
- Make hair gel out of aloe vera gel. Purchase pure aloe vera gel from a store, measure out 1/2 cup (120 mL). Mix in about 20 drops of essential oil if desired to add scent to the hair gel.[9]
- Store the hair gel in an air-tight container and keep it at room temperature for up to 3 months.
[Edit]Mixing up Your Own Makeup
- Combine beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa butter for lip balm. Combine 1/4 cup (60 g) of grated beeswax, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of cocoa butter, 3 tbsp (45 mL) of coconut oil, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of almond oil in a glass or plastic container. Melt the ingredients by microwaving them for 15 seconds at a time and stirring.[10]
- Transfer the lip balm to small containers or lip balm pots while it is still warm and let it cool. The lip balm will become solid when it is cool.
- Apply to your lips as needed.
- Make eye shadow using eye shadow pigments. You can purchase eye shadow pigments online and combine different colors to create your own custom eye shadow. Keep the powder loose, or mix about 1 tsp (5 g) of pigment with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to form a paste that you can transfer to an eye shadow pan. Press the paste with a paper towel to remove the excess liquid.[11]
- Make sure that the pigments you use to make eyeshadow are safe to use for eye makeup!
- Create your own mascara. Making your own mascara is easy with a few special ingredients! Combine 2 tsp (10 mL) of coconut oil, 4 tsp (20 mL) of pure aloe vera, and 1 tsp (5 g) of grated beeswax in a small pan. Melt the ingredients over low heat on your stove, then remove them from the heat. Then, add about 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) of activated charcoal or cocoa powder to the mixture and stir to combine them. Transfer the liquid to a clean mascara tube.[12]
- Charcoal will make your mascara black, while cocoa powder will make it brown.
[Edit]Warnings
- Always read the instructions for use of essential oils very carefully as some may react with others and most should be used in very specific quantities only. Test for allergic reactions first (or ask the pharmacist for more information) and if pregnant, only use oils with a physician's agreement.
- Never use any of the above products if they contain an ingredient you are allergic to.
- If you are allergic to bee pollen, you may be allergic to honey. Do not use any of the above containing honey if you are at risk for allergic reaction.
- If any irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Individual skin sensitivity can include skin irritation, breathing problems, sneezing and rashes.
- If you choose to wash your hair with egg, be sure not to use water that is too hot, or you'll end up with scrambled eggs in your hair, literally!
