Do-it-Yourself - Easy Beauty Routines You Can Do Yourself

There are many beauty routines that you can do at home and once you make them part of your daily or weekly grooming ritual they won’t seem to take up too much of your time. In any case it is often more convenient to do them at home rather than organize a baby-sitter or have to go out when you don’t feel like it.

Facials are an easy beauty routine to do. Whether you buy the ingredients or make them, you can have a fun and relaxing time giving yourself a facial. Make sure you have at least half an hour free of interruptions, wash your face in warm water without soap and smooth on the cream, leaving a good centimeter around your eyes free. This is because that skin is more delicate and the cream may not be suitable. If possible, have two fresh slices of cucumber ready to pop over your eyes while you are relaxing.

You can also give yourself a home pedicure - so long as your feet don’t need professional treatment. Before wetting your feet, use an emery foot file to remove the dead skin around your heels. Soak your feet in a dish or tub of warm water with a few drops of your favorite essential oil in it. If your heels are still hard and cracked, rub them gently with a pumice stone while they are wet. Have a soft towel handy and when the water starts to cool off, take your feet out and wipe them gently dry, paying attention to the skin between the toes.

Just after soaking is a good time to cut the nails as they will be softer. Cut them to a good shape - experts advise cutting them straight across, but it depends on the shape of your toe. Color them with your choice of polish. Clear polish is sometimes a nice change. When the polish is dry, rub lots of moisturizer into the feet, especially the heels. If you have trouble with your heels being hard, add more moisturizer at bedtime and wear cotton socks so it doesn’t rub off.

Hair coloring is something you can often do at home, especially easy if it is just a semi-permanent rinse. Follow the directions on the packet and be sure to wear your oldest clothes. A little more challenging to do are foils and streaks, but it can be done with a bit of patience and perhaps the help of a friend. A store-bought permanent wave can also be done at home with a friend to wind those back curls. Unless you are good at cutting your own hair, it’s best to have a professional cut first.

Speaking of hair cutting, why spend dollars just to get a few wisps of hair trimmed off? You can easily trim your own or the children’s fringes and save heaps.
