What is it about mixing up a homemade face mask that is so much fun? Especially when you can raid the refrigerator or the kitchen cupboard for all of the ingredients. My fascination with Kitchen Beautician secrets started with turmeric and coconut oil, and now I’m hooked on these all-natural (and usually super inexpensive) homemade concoctions.
I’ve been hoarding a few homemade beauty recipes to try when all of the boxes get unpacked and I thought I’d share 25 favorites. Have you given any of these a try? I’m dying to try going shampoo free!

it’s the easy way to feel good! :)

I can only assume that is smells wonderfully. will check out the links, thanks!
I am in need of some pampering and “me” time and have the house to myself this Sunday, so I may just give a few of these a go. Thanks for sharing.
Coming to you from Evelyn’s hop :)
I love doing my nails in my “me” time :)
Great list. Thanks for putting it together.
Wonderful collection! I predict my eight year old daughter and I are going to have some fun this weekend!
That is a lot of awesome ideas. I have tried the gelatin/milk one, my daughter made it for me and it worked good. I want to try the olive oil for the hair as mine is pretty dry. TYVM!
I hope that turns out great for you, I am still to try it myself!
thank you Amy, I’m doing my best in this respect! And i can’t wait to try the dry shampoo myself.
What a great collaboration! I can’t wait to try some of them out!
Great round up!
I love all of these ideas! I’ve been wanting to make homemade bath bombs for so long. I have all these herbs growing in the backyard, I really need to start using them in DIY beauty treatments!
I haven’t tried many homemade beauty recipes but I really want to! I feel like my “pamper/me time” is limited these days – ha! so I haven’t tried the ones I’ve bookmarked/saved. That orange moisturizing one sounds good!
it does sound good and I think it would have an energizing effect, too!
Great list! Some of these I have never heard of but definately piqued my interest. I have done the sugar lip scrub (love when you have dead skin!) and the olive oil hair treatment.
they sound easy enough to do regularly!
Thanks for the great list! I am going to have to try some of these out!
make sure you send me feedback if you do, I’m really curious as to how these work!
I have been thinking about lace quite a lot myself, I really want to redo some of my husbands old clothes and see if I can make them into something I would actually wear :)
combining masculine clothes with lace? that sounds interesting!
Mmm looking at all of these makes me hungry too, lol! Definitely want to try the banana face mask!
