Cucumber Face Mask
½ a cucumber
1 tbsp yogurt

For this skin-brightening, moisturizing face mash, mix ½ a cucumber and 1 tablespoon of yogurt in a blender and apply it on the face evenly. Leave it on the face for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. The lactic acid in the yogurt gently softens skin and helps it decongest.

Honey Face Wash
1 tsp raw, unfiltered honey
½ tsp baking soda

For a simple, inexpensive face wash mix a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered honey with a half tablespoon of baking soda and apply it to damp skin. The antibacterial honey soothes dry skin, and the baking soda exfoliates your face without irritating it.

Body Scrub
¼ cup olive oil
⅛ cup brown sugar
⅛ cup salt
essential oil

To make simple, yet efficient, body scrub, Combine a quarter cup olive oil, an eighth cup
of brown sugar, an eighth cup of salt, and an essential oil (for scent). If you have especially dry skin or sunburn, leave out the salt and double the sugar.

Bronzer
1 empty makeup case
cinnamon
powdered sugar
small paintbrush
essential oil

Find an empty makeup case (from an old powder foundation or bronzer) and add cinnamon and powdered sugar (the ratio will be altered depending on how dark you want it). Mix the powders together using a small paintbrush, or something of the type. To bond the powders, add a bit of essential oil. Apply like a store-bought bronzer.
