You don’t have to buy expensive beauty products to nourish your skin. Did you know that you have a lot of easy-to-find items in your kitchen that you can use for natural DIY skincare?
Let’s take a look at the top 7 natural skincare foods in your kitchen.
Did you know your kitchen is stocked with natural skincare products? Try these seven foods you can use for natural skincare:
1. Lemons
Rub a fresh lemon wedge into your skin to soften, lighten and remove blackheads. Check out this article for more ways to use lemons for health, home, and beauty.
2. Olive Oil
Remove makeup by massaging olive oil into your skin for 1-2 minutes. Wash away with hot water and a washcloth (use soap if desired, but it’s not necessary). Reapply a tiny amount of olive oil if your skin needs extra moisture, focusing around the eyes and mouth. (Order high quality olive oil HERE.)
Just make sure you use REAL olive oil. Learn more about fake olive oil here.
3. Oatmeal
Grind oats in a blender, food processor or coffee grinder. Use as an extra gentle exfoliating scrub. Learn how to make Oatmeal Cinnamon Soap here.
4. Yogurt
Yogurt makes a wonderful facial mask all by itself! The lactic acid softens and soothes the skin. Learn How to Make Homemade Yogurt Soap for Skin Health.
5. Honey
A honey face mask is another soothing mask for your skin. It especially calms redness and blemishes. Find more recipes for honey face masks here.
6. Eggs
Eggs are for facials, too! Whipped egg whites are perfect for tightening pores and deep cleaning the skin. Egg yolks are full of vitamins and essential fats to nourish the skin.
7. Sugar
Sugar isn’t so bad for your skin! On those days you need extra exfoliation, a gentle sugar scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and fresh. Check out this list of Beautiful Sugar Scrubs for inspiration.
