Cucumbers are great for the skin, and they can easily be used to alleviate dark circles and swelling around the eyes. Simply slice and cucumber and put the slices over your eyes, keeping them there for twenty minutes.

Avocado Mask

No list of DIY beauty tips would be complete without an avocado mask. It’s incredibly easy to do: just blend together the flesh of an avocado in either a food processor or a blender and then massage it into your face. Take it off with a tissue after 15 minutes with warm water.

Lemon Toner

If you have oily skin, this homemade beauty recipe is for you. Mix ½ cup lemon juice, 1 cup water, and 2/3rd cup witch hazel. Apply with a cotton ball. It can be stored in a jar and should be shaken before it is used.

Parsley Toner

Parsley works great as a skin toner, and it can be purchased very cheaply at the grocery store or grown yourself. Simply chop ½ cp of parsley and cover it with 1 cup boiling water. After it cools completely, strain and store it in a jar. Apply using a cotton ball. This works well for normal or dry skin.

Makeup Remover

If you wear makeup, it can easily be removed without needing to buy a commercial makeup remover or relying on soap products. You can simply use coconut oil or any other gentle oil by applying it to the skin and then using a tissue to take it off.

Garlic Acne Killer

If you aren’t afraid of the smell of garlic (this homemade beauty tip can be a bit stinky), it can be a great way of cleaning out your pores. Peel and mash a garlic clove into a paste and then apply it to a pimple. Leave it on for fifteen minutes and wash it off with a warm cloth.

Homemade Conditioner

Conditioners can be pretty expensive when purchased at the store, but it is possible to make your own for next to nothing easily. Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 4 cups of water in a container with a cap. Shake it before use and apply it after shampooing.

Easy Homemade Toothpaste

It used to be common to use baking soda as toothpaste, but nowadays, most of us just use the toothpaste that we purchase at the store. However, you can still make your own. You can mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 drop of tea tree oil to make a good-tasting toothpaste that cleans your teeth at a fraction of the cost of store-bought toothpaste.

Homemade Deodorant

In a container or a Ziploc bag, combine ½ cup cornstarch with 2-4 drops of essential oil (you can pick your favorite scent) and shake well. Dust your armpits with a duster, cloth, or even your hands. It works as well as a commercial deodorant.

Homemade Perfume

In a bottle, mix 1 tablespoon of almond oil (available at health food stores) with 1 teaspoon of essential oil (you can pick whatever fragrance you like). Shake well before using.
