At-Home Skincare Hacks: DIY Treatments You Can Do Yourself It’s no secret that most of us have spent a lot more time in our homes these days. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to do something for yourself, why not start with your skincare routine? While we may not be able to come to the medspa for treatments, we can still get the same glowing results from implementing a few simple at-home skincare hacks. Keep reading to learn more about some quick DIY treatments that you can do yourself to take your skincare routine to the next level. Exfoliation is essential for any good skincare routine and you can whip up your own exfoliator with just a few ingredients. Start by combining two tablespoons of oatmeal with two tablespoons of honey. This mixture makes for a gentle scrub that will keep your skin glowing without any sensitivity. If you’d like to mix it up, feel free to add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to customize your scrub. When you’re finished exfoliating your skin, a cooling mask can do wonders for calming any redness or irritation. To make your own DIY mask, all you need is two tablespoons of plain yogurt and two tablespoons of honey. Leave the mixture on for about ten to fifteen minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. And finally, no spa day would be complete without a facial steam to open up your pores. A simple herbal steam can be created with just boiling a pot of water mixed with dried herbs like rosemary, sage, or chamomile. Once the water starts boiling, all you need to do is sit with your face above the pot and cover your head with a towel or blanket. You should be able to feel the steam rising to open up your pores –– just make sure to keep a safe distance. At-home skincare treatments are a great way to keep your skin looking and feeling its best while at home. Whether you’re looking for a gentle exfoliator or a relaxing facial steam, there are plenty of options to choose from to create the perfect spa-like experience right in your own home. With just a few ingredients, you can achieve glowing skin without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. Ready to take your skincare routine to the next level?
