I don’t know about you, but I’m all about quick and easy! Especially when it comes to my beauty regimen! Once upon a time, I could easily spend lots of time getting ready ~ for the day, to go out, and even to go to bed… but those days are long gone.

Now I’m all about efficiency and simplicity! And I’m on a journey to try to remove unnecessary chemicals and toxins from my life. So I get all excited when I find a beauty hack that makes life easier. And I figure if I get excited about it, someone else might too! With that in mind, here are 7 quick, easy, natural DIY beauty hacks to simplify your life!

 

Citrus Oil Bath Salts ~

Who doesn’t like a good bath? The awesome thing about this one, is that you can easily switch your essential oil to anything you like. Citrus oils are invigorating, clean and fresh. The epsom salt will draw out toxins and soothe sore, tired muscles, and general aches and pains.

• 4 Cups Epsom Salt
• 15 Drops Citrus Essential Oil

Mix well and store in a glass jar. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mixture to your bath. Soak and relax for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Strength and Volume Mascara Booster

Okay, so this is a great way to get added benefit from your mascara, in the simplest way possible!

We all want longer, thicker, stronger lashes, right? Of course we do, otherwise we wouldn’t use mascara at all!

Simply add 1 drop of Lavender Essential Oil and 1 drop of Cedarwood Essential Oil to your new mascara bottle. That’s it! See… Easy-Peasy!

 

Luxurious Homemade Facial

Ahhh… clean, glowing, nourished, and moisturized skin! Without the time and money required to go to a spa! How fantastic is this?!

Simply combine ingredients and apply to your freshly washed face. Allow mixture to stay on for 10 minutes (min), then wipe off with a very warm cloth. Tone and moisturize as normal.

 

Purifying DIY Face Wash Pads

Sometimes you just need convenience when washing your face. These little pads are perfect for that. They are both gentle and deep-cleaning.

Prepare recipe as directed. To use, simply remove a pad from the jar and use to wash your face and neck. Rinse with water and follow up with your favorite toner and moisturizer. More than one pad may be required for heavier makeup.

 

Magic Eye Blend

I think it’s pretty safe to say that most of us don’t want wrinkly, crepey skin around our eyes. But good eye creams can be very expensive! And chemical-y. Yuck.

Instead, try this amazing blend. And yes, it really is amazing!

• 2 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil
• 2 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
• 2 Drops of Frankincense Essential Oil
• 1 Oz of Fractionated Coconut Oil

 

Non-Toxic DIY Hairspray

You need hairspray, but don’t want all the chemicals and toxins? Here’s the solution. This recipe actually works quite well.

The secret ingredient is sugar! And you can use whichever essential oils you like. Essential oils generally recommended for hair care would be Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, Cedarwood, Tea Tree, and Chamomile.

For faster drying of the spray, add a Tbsp of pure alcohol when mixing.

 

Skin Soothing Oil

For dry, itchy skin from the change of seasons, swimming, frequent hot showers, and other external sources, as well as internal reasons. This oil truly is fantastic. Not only does it smell amazing, but it also works quickly at soothing, smoothing, and calming the skin.

• 10 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
• 10 Drops Rosemary Essential Oil
• 4 oz Fractionated Coconut Oil or Grapeseed Oil

Apply as needed.
