DIY beauty recipes

Ease into spring with these three simple, DIY beauty recipes

Fragrant florals. Citrus. Honey bees. These are just a few of our favorite things about spring. Get glowing this month with these do-it-yourself recipes that incorporate the scents of the season from some of our favorite local natural beauty retailers. Don’t worry—they couldn’t be simpler to cook up in your own home! As with any recipe, you might need to pick up a few items, or you might already have everything in your kitchen pantry and beauty cabinet.

FLORAL BATH TEA
Recipe courtesy of Little Barn Apothecary
WHAT YOU NEED:
Hot/warm bath water
1 muslin drawstring bag or cheesecloth
(or pantyhose)
3 Tbsp. dried rose petals
3 Tbsp. dried lavender

Fill an empty tea bag of some sort with the dried rose petals and lavender. The “tea bag” in this case could also be a muslin drawstring bag, a double layer of cheesecloth tied around the herbs or even clean pantyhose, as long as water can move through it so the dried florals can steep. Hang the filled tea bag from the faucet and turn it on. As the tub fills, the water will run through the herbs to give it some stress-busting herbal power. Rose petals and lavender are a brilliant combination to fill the air with a lovely floral scent while helping the body relax in the water, but you can use virtually any dried floral you like. Now, kick back and enjoy.

COCONUT AND LIME CUTICLE CREAM
Recipe courtesy of HollyBeth Organics
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 Tbsp. organic coconut oil
1 drop lime essential oil

Melt the coconut oil in a small pot, transfer to a bowl and stir in a drop of lime essential oil. Pour the mixture into a small jar. Apply your new cuticle cream as often as you’d like to keep those nail beds healthy and looking great between manicures.

HERBAL HONEY FACE WASH
Recipe courtesy of Mama Bath + Body
WHAT YOU NEED:
¼ c. dried lavender buds
¼ c. dried calendula flowers
Approximately 1/2 c. honey

Mix the herbs at the bottom of a small mason jar and cover them with honey. The herbs will rise to the top and infuse the honey within a day or two. Honey makes a soothing, gentle face wash. When mixed with water, it emulsifies into a soft paste that is both cleansing and softening, and not at all sticky. Lavender and calendula are calming herbs that are great for skin coming out of winter weather. Scoop out a small amount of the honey-and-herb mixture with a spoon and mix it with warm water in your hands. Then apply it to your face, cleansing gently yet thoroughly, and rinse well with warm water. Use the face wash daily or as needed. Leftovers can be stored in a cool, dry place with a lid. Discard the mixture if the herbs become moldy.
