6 Cool Homemade Beauty Treatments by 6 Cool Homemade Beauty Treatments1. Olive Oil There are a lot of ways to use olive oil to stay beautiful—here are two favorites:Olive Oil 1. Deep conditioner: Massage one teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil into dry, clean hair (pay extra attention to the ends). Then, wrap your hair in a warm, damp towel and let the oil absorb into your strands for up to 20 minutes before rinsing it out with warm water. 2. Eye makeup remover: Dab a few drops onto a cotton ball, and then swipe it over your eyes to gently wipe off your makeup. Bonus: It serves as a great moisturizer, so no need to rinse it off.2. Brown Sugar A cheap and easy way to exfoliate your skin, this ingredient helps slough away dead skin cells from the neck down, leaving your body with a gorgeous glow.1. Sugar and Spice Rub: Mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar with two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, two teaspoons of instant oats, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon—this ingredient brings blood flow to the surface, causing a plumping effect on the skin and helps zap zits—and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, which has anti-inflammatory properties, in a small bowl. Apply it to your skin in circular motions mid shower for two minutes, and then rinse.2. Maui Sugar Scrub: Place 1/4 cup of guava or mango in a food processor and process it until it's smooth (or mash it in a small bowl with a fork). Then, scrape the mixture into a small bowl and stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, one tablespoon of coconut milk, and one and 1/2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Apply it to your skin in circular motions mid shower for two to three minutes, then rinse.*You can use these same recipes on your face, but substitute the brown sugar for white granulated sugar, which is gentler on your complexion—plus, it contains antibacterial properties, so it won't break you out.3. Avocado Got avocados? Turns out they're a great ingredient to use when your hair is in desperate need of a deep conditioning treatment.Yolk and avocado hair mask: Whisk one egg yolk, one teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, and one teaspoon of honey together in a small bowl.

Let it soak into your strands for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse it out, shampoo, and then rinse again.4. Cinnamon Cinnamon contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, as well as a natural grittiness that helps clear out clogged pores.
