Men and women all deserve to pamper themselves from time to time. Although spa days often end up making your wallet cry at the end of the day while many treatments and activities can break the bank. Getting a facial or massage always feels amazing although there are plenty of ways to accomplish the same satisfaction in the comfort of your own home. Homemade beauty/skin care products can be used by both men and women and are far more cost effective. You will also have fun making these products while many of them are natural enough to eat. Below are five products you can make at home that are worthwhile and won’t make a dent in your bank account.

 

FACE AND BODY

This scrub is a great way to eliminate the dead skin on your body and can be used all over. Take a small amount in hand and gently start exfoliating the chosen area. The coffee and sugar have a sweet smell that will wake you up in the morning. Add vanilla or essential oils to enhance the enlightening smell. This scrub will leave your body feeling fresh, soft and smooth after a warm shower.

 

LIPS

Lip Scrub

Ingredients:

• Cane sugar

• Honey

• Oil of choice (optional)

• Essential oils or smelling aspect

This is a scrub I use myself and love it. Add each ingredient as you please until you reach the desired amount you want to make. There should be an even ratio of sugar to honey to create a semi smooth consistency. The honey will exfoliate all dead and dry skin from your lips and the honey and oil will work together to keep them moisturized and smooth. Lick the scrub off to remove and your done!
