Hey there, beauty lovers! It’s Zoe from Natural Glow Diaries. Today, I’m spilling the tea on some ridiculously easy DIY beauty tricks that’ll have you raiding your kitchen cabinets instead of the beauty aisle. Trust me, your skin (and wallet) will thank you!
So, put down that overpriced face mask and let’s get mixing!
- Honey and Cinnamon Face Mask Okay, this one’s my go-to when my skin is throwing a tantrum. Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, slather it on your face, and chill for 15 minutes. Honey’s antibacterial properties fight acne while cinnamon boosts circulation. It’s like a spa day in your kitchen!
- Coconut Oil Hair Treatment Got frizz that won’t quit? Warm up some coconut oil, massage it into your scalp and hair, then wrap your head in a warm towel. Netflix and chill for an hour, then shampoo as usual. Hello, silky smooth locks!
- Coffee Ground Body Scrub Don’t toss those used coffee grounds! Mix them with a bit of coconut oil for an ah-mazing body scrub. It’s great for exfoliation and may even help with cellulite. Plus, you’ll smell like a walking latte – win-win!
- Avocado and Oatmeal Face Mask Mash up half an avocado, mix in a tablespoon of oatmeal, and you’ve got yourself a moisturizing mask that’d make Gwyneth Paltrow jealous. Perfect for dry, sensitive skin!
- Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse Want shiny, clarified hair? Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, and use it as a final rinse after shampooing. It balances your scalp’s pH and leaves your hair super glossy. Yeah, it smells a bit funky, but it dissipates quickly, I promise!
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Zoe, girl, I can barely make toast without burning it. Can I really do this?” Absolutely! These recipes are so simple, you could do them with your eyes closed (but don’t, ’cause, you know, safety first).
I’ve been using these tricks for years, and let me tell you, my skin has never been happier. Plus, there’s something so satisfying about whipping up your own beauty products. It’s like you’re a scientist and a spa therapist rolled into one!

P.S. If you end up with leftover avocado from that face mask, make some guac. Self-care is important, but so is snacking!
