Going to a beauty bar means relaxation, treating and making yourself feel beautiful. Whether you prefer facial treatments, changing your hairstyle or manicure, this is a special activity. But how would it be like if you did all of these at your own home and with the products you trust? Having your own natural beauty bar can be a challenge, but it can definitely have some advantages.
No more appointments
There may be days when you wake up and feel you want to have a face treatment, but then you remember you need an appointment for that. If you are not lucky enough to find a vacant space on that specific day, you may need to postpone it. Having a natural beauty bar at home means you can treat yourself any time you want to. You don’t have to worry about the schedule or making appointments.
What’s more, you can take as long as you need to. If you want to have a 3-hour treatment, you can have it with no problem.
You get to choose your organic beauty products
You may have wondered what type of products are used at the beauty salon you go to. Whether they are organic, cruelty-free and use the ingredients appropriate for your skin and hair. When you have your own beauty bar, you get to choose the products. You can go for organic beauty products or homemade ones. Knowing what you put on yourself makes the experience even more pleasurable.
It can be cheaper to have your own natural beauty bar
When you have your own natural beauty bar, the beauty products are the only thing you need to consider: what type of products you want and where you buy them from. Basically, they are your only cost. When you go to an (external) beauty bar, you pay for the products, services, and other costs.
How to have your own natural beauty bar
We’ve seen having a natural beauty bar at your home can have some great benefits for you. But what are the steps to creating one? There are a few aspects you need take into consideration.
Firstly, thin of the services you enjoy the most: skin treatments, facial ones, hair, nails. It’s important to create something that makes you feel incredible. Secondly, think of the things you can do on your own. Maybe you like changing your hairstyle every now and then, but you may not know how to cut it properly.
We’ve prepared a few recommendations of things you can do at your own natural beauty bar.
Skin
When speaking of skin treatments, we can refer to the whole body or specific parts such as the face. This depends very much on your preferences. You can go for scrubs, creams, lotions or products that help you have a relaxing long bath. Also, you can choose to buy them or make them yourself.
If you are a scrub fan, here are two examples you can try at home.
Face scrub
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
The honey and sugar act as exfoliants, while the olive oil hydrates and moisturizes the skin.
Body scrub
- 1/2 cup of coffee grounds
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Coffee grounds are one of the most used and popular scrubs. Like in the face scrub recipe, the coffee acts as an exfoliant and the oil moisturizes the skin, leaving it glowingly beautiful.
Body lotion
- 1/2 cup of almond/jojoba/extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of beeswax
- 1 teaspoon of vitamin E
- a few drops of essential oil (what you like)
After a long bath, you may want to treat your skin with a hydrating body lotion. This recipe will give you a great natural lotion.
Also, you can go for these organic skin products.
Hair
Hair masks are quite a delight. Not only do they have great benefits for your hair and scalp, but they can also make you relax.
Hydrating avocado mask
- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Leave it on for 30 minutes, then wash it off. This mask hydrates your hair and leaves shiny and healthy.
Colored hair mask
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of argan oil
- 1 tablespoon of shea butter
Leave it on for 30 minutes, then wash it off.
We’ve also prepared a few recommendations of hair products you can try.
