Eco Beauty: Seven DIY Recipes to Keep You Gorgeous all Summer Long!

Glow From Head to Toe

Summer is fast approaching and we all want to be at the height of gorgeousness for all those fun summertime shindigs right?  So say goodbye to drab and hello to beautiful with these easy eco-friendly beauty recipes that will help you get your glow on in no time!

  • Eco-Friendly Shampoo and Conditioner This may be too extreme for some of my super fab readers, but it never hurts to have an easy DIY recipe on hand just in case you run out of shampoo and conditioner.  Trust me, it happens.  Though I haven’t opted for the “no poo” route, I have this recipe in my bag of DIY tricks for just such an occasion.  All that’s required is a little baking soda, some apple cider vinegar, and some H2O (that’s water if you didn’t take chemistry).
  • Easy DIY Honey-Yogurt Face Mask Everyone loves a little pampering.  Why not take a few minutes to whip up this super easy face mask?  You probably already have everything you need in your kitchen!
  • Easy Brown Sugar Lip Scrub Who doesn’t want kiss-ably soft lips?  Get them fast with this simple two ingredient lip scrub recipe.
  • Organic Virgin Coconut Oil Hands down, organic virgin coconut oil is my favorite natural moisturizer.  It’s cheap, non-toxic, and smells heavenly too!
  • Natural Hair Removal:  Body Sugaring Although I’ve never tried sugaring before (I’m still using razors – I know, not very eco…), I have a number of friends who swear by it.  I must say it really gets the job done – they have the smoothest skin after sugaring.  I’m hoping to take the plunge into a more earth-friendly form of hair removal – plus shaving with a razor really sucks.
  • 10 Features of an Eco-Friendly Manicure Pedicure This article provides useful tips for those of you who get regular mani/pedis.  When I sit down for a DIY manicure and pedicure I use only a few items – a homemade scrub for my feet, some reusable tools, and some olive oil for my hands.  It quick, easy, non-toxic, and cheap!  And here’s a tip:  if you want to add a nice healthy shine to your nails use a buffer, it’s cheaper and healthier than nail polish.

  1. I like sugaring, but I don’t make my potions. I buy them. But it’s still a great method. Time consuming, though. As for coconut oil, one of our writers just did an article on how it works wonderfully as a natural lubricant. Good stuff here. Glad I found it.

    • Hi Todra, thanks for stopping by.

      The whole time factor has been one of the reasons I’ve avoided sugaring, though I’m still interested in trying it. As for coconut oil being a good natural lubricant, I’ve heard that as well. It’s also a good natural deodorant – I’ve tried it and it’s worked for me.

      Thanks again. Peace. ;)

  2. My mom whipped me up a batch of sugar and vaseline lip softener not too long ago. The only thing is, I taste sugar all day. Well, I guess there are worse things!
