3 ingredient acne clearing DIY mask

So lately I've been obsessed with Huda Beauty . She has so many tips and is so beautiful.   She also has a lot of acne tips and one of them was this DIY mask. Of course I had to try it and I really liked it. Although the application was pretty difficult. You only need 3 ingredients. Measurements are not that important, pretty much go with how you like it.  But if you want to be more precise then here you go. 1 teaspoon of nutmeg 2-3 teaspoons of milk (regular) 1/2 teaspoon of honey Start with the nutmeg and spread it out in a bowl. Then add milk and slowly stir. It's not easy to mix nutmeg, because some of the nutmeg pieces will float and some of them will be in the bottom. Then add honey and stir. It is a liquid chunky paste. And that's why it is hard to apply. If you have a synthetic makeup brush, then you could use that, but make sure you wash it afterwards. I took the spoon, poured the paste onto my face and then scattered it on my face. It was not a pretty sight...

DIY Coconut Oil Hand Scrub

Image
When winter arrives, my hands always get super dry. I use many different hand creams, but sometimes it's good to scrub off dead skin cells and moisturise hands with natural coconut oil. This DIY hand scrub is actually really easy to make. You need: Coconut Oil Sugar Jar (optional) Essential oils  Take few tablespoons of coconut oil and put it in a bowl or mug. Then melt it in a microwave.  Pour the oil in a jar. Take sugar and pour that on top of the oil and mix. Add sugar until you get this nice soft consistency or until it looks like melting snow. (Note: It shouldn't be too runny or dry). If you want a nice scent to the scrub, just add few drops of your chosen essential oil. You can decorate the jar if you want. How to use: Wash your hands first (Because you don't want any germs in the scrub. It might expire faster.), take a small amount of scrub, rub it gently on your hands, rinse and dry. After that you can apply hand cream to make hands even more softer. ...

Simple DIY Marble Clay Bowl

Image
I wanted to make something unique and handmade for Christmas presents, so after I had browsed Pinterest for hours, I found cute DIY marble bowls. It seemed the easiest out of other DIY's.  What you need: Modelling clay  I chose air drying clay, because it's less messier. You can buy many different colours of clay. For the base colour I bought white, other colours I used were blue, pink and black. Bowls Basically this is your choice. I used bowls to get the shape. Gloss varnish and a paintbrush Varnish gives bowls a nice finish. First take some pieces of different colour clay and roll them into strips. Base colour pieces should be the biggest. Then twist the strips and roll them into one big strip. Make it into a ball and roll it out until it is as thick as you want the bowl to be. After that, cut out a circle or any shape you want and then I'd suggest placing it in a bowl for shape. My clay was supposed to dry in 24 hours, but I didn't...
