DIY Natural Skin Care Recipes: Perfect For A Family Spa Day

There's nothing better than spending the day at the spa. The calming waters, the soothing treatments, and especially spending time with your loved ones when you go as a family. However, it's not realistic for us all to head to the spa every opportunity we want, but that doesn't mean you can't bring the spa to you.

Spa-grade treatments can often be costly and don't always have the most natural ingredients in them. That's why opting for DIY beauty recipes to use during your home spa day is a great alternative.

From a facial scrub to your own homemade mascara, here are some of the best homemade beauty recipes you can easily follow:

Tumeric face mask recipe

You can't go wrong with a face mask, as they are usually one of the top skincare products offered at spas. They're also a great way for you to bring out your natural beauty, especially when they include the right ingredients.

Here's one of the best natural beauty recipes with turmeric that you and the family are bound to love.

Ingredients 

• 2 tbsp organic chickpea flour

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 3 tbsp Greek yogurt

• 1/4 teaspoon honey

Instructions

1. While the ingredients call for one teaspoon of turmeric, it can stain easily, so start off small with just a quarter teaspoon.

2. Add the two tablespoons of chickpea flower to thicken the mask.

3. Add the Greek yogurt and mix the ingredients until you have a thick paste that can be applied to the face.

4. Finish off by combining the honey into the mix to make the mask more moisturizing.

5. Add more turmeric if required or more Greek yogurt if you want to change the consistency.

Homemade face scrubs recipe

Personal care is important, whether you're the mom or daughter of the family. That's why this natural exfoliant for face DIY recipe is going to do so much for you. Perfect for all skin types, whether you have sensitive skin or not, this sugar scrub is the ultimate addition to spa day.

Ingredients 

• Sugar

• Sweet almond oil or favorite essential oil

• Fruit or vegetable of your choice

Instructions

1. Pick out a container in your house and place enough sugar in it so that it is 3/4 full.

2. Add the oil you've chosen to the container. You want to ensure it's a 2:1 ratio so there is twice as much sugar.

3. Mix the two ingredients together until combined.

4. Add in your chosen fruit or vegetable. Ensure it is finely chopped so the mixture isn't lumpy.

5. Mix the new ingredient into the container, but ensure you don't overdo it so the granules don't dissolve.

6. Decant the facial scrub mixture into another container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a fortnight.

4. Take the saucepan off the stove and let the petal/water mixture cool.

5. Strain the mixture into a bottle or jar that you can seal for later use.

6. Add a couple of drops of the rose absolute essential oils.

7. Shake the mixture before you use it.
