Top 5 Skin Hacks For Lazy Mummas!

I’m going to let you into a little secret! It’s a no brainer that you need to look after your skin, but do we really need to spend an arm & a leg on beauty products?

Especially when we have a plethora of good, natural products right under our noses!

I love to treat myself & get a little luxury now & then, don’t we all? But sometimes our skin is crying out for something natural!

I’m not going to tell you all of the benefits that these potions have, it’s pretty self explanatory, they’re 100% natural & good for your skin! Nor am I going to give you a science lesson! These are ingredients that you have lying around the house & I’m just going to tell you how to use them, so let’s get cracking!

Here’s my top 5 ThrifDee Skin Hacks! 

Hack #1

Brown Sugar Peppermint & Olive Oil Scrub –

• ¼ cup Olive Oil
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 15 drops peppermint essential oil

Method –

1. Combine the ingredients until you get a coarse paste. Do not heat the oil as this might cause the sugar to melt.
2. Cleanse your skin and apply this paste onto it.
3. Use your fingers to gently massage the mixture, in circular motions, on your skin.
4. Take 5-10 minutes to gently massage and exfoliate your body, spending 1-2 minutes on each part.
5. Wash the mixture off using lukewarm water.

This is a refreshing scrub that wakes you up & keeps your skin soft, supple & revitalised. Using 1-2 times per week is all thats needed.

Hack #2

Apple Cider Vinegar Facial Toner –

• 1 small glass of filtered or mineral water
• 2Tbsp of Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
• Few drops of Lavender Essential Oil (Optional)

Method –

1. For normal to dry skin, mix 1/3 part vinegar to 2/3 part filtered water. Add a few drops (you can add 5-10 drops per 2 oz. of mixture) of Lavender oil.
2. For oily and acne-prone skin, mix 1/2 part vinegar and 1/2 part filtered water. Add a few drops ( add 5-10 drops per 2 oz. of mixture) of lavender oil.
3. Store in a glass bottle at room temperature.
4. Use toner twice a day – first thing in the morning and right before bed.

This is amazing for toning and can be used for all skin types. For oily and acne-prone skin, it helps to treat acne and reduce redness. For dry and normal skin, also helps to exfoliate skin and reduce wrinkles.

Hack #3

Whipped Coconut Oil Body Butter –

• Few drops of essential oil of your choice (if using)

2. Break the coconut oil up into chunks.
3. Turn the mixer on high and whip the coconut oil.
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to whip until all the coconut oil is soft and fluffy.
5. If you’re going to add essential oils, add now.
