DIY Beauty Recipes for Healthy Hair and Glowing Skin

June 25, 2015 By Courtney

The Do-It-Yourself beauty trend continues to grow and more women are looking for easy ways to make their own beauty products at home. I recently made my own Green Tea Lotion!

On this #EarthDay I decided to make my own DIY Natural Green Tea Body Butter. I must be nuts cause my 3 kids would rather I be making cookies! Thanks @popsugarbeauty for the recipe!

Recently, the Vitamin Shoppe introduced a line of Aromatherapy Oils, including carrier, essential and skincare oils that have a variety of benefits, and are also popular ingredients in DIY recipes for healthier hair and glowing skin.

Quick DIY beauty tips below:

  • Dry scalp? Apply a few drops of avocado oil to help restore moisture
  • Chapped lips? Add a few drops of argan oil to brown sugar for an exfoliating lip scrub
  • Split ends? Try a few drops of macadamia or argan oil in your hair
  • Dry skin? Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to your bath water, soak and enjoy!
  • Dry cuticles? Rub a few drops of argan oil on your nail beds for a moisturizing treat

Here are 3 fun and easy beauty recipes to try at home!
