Beauty DIY

Like basically every girl I know, I love love love Pinterest. On more than one occasion, I have casually clicked over to the site and then three hours later found myself with a fully decorated nursery for my imaginary fashionista baby... Pinterest is obviously the black hole of girl world.

Recently, I found some pins that I have been dying to try. These really easy, at home beauty treatments are AWESOME. You should definitely give them a try!!

1. Lauren Conrad's Pretty Sweet Lip Scrub

  • One teaspoon brown sugar
  • One teaspoon honey
  • One teaspoon olive oil or petroleum jelly
Instructions
  • Mix brown sugar and honey together to create a paste.
  • Thickly coat lips and leave for a few minutes.
  • Using your finger, gently scrub until all the dead skin has been buffed off.
  • Immediately dab on olive oil or petroleum jelly to moisturize. 
2. Blackhead Mask

Ingredients
  • Two egg whites
  • Half of a lemon
Instructions
  • Mix egg whites and lemon juice together.
  • Apply to your face (avoid your eyes!!) and let it dry.
  • Rinse off with warm water.
This is FABULOUS for removing blackheads and, if done regularly, shrink pores and minimize acne scars. 

3. Dr. Oz's Teeth Whitening Home Remedy
via Pinterest
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup of baking soda 
  • Half of a lemon
Instructions
  • Mix the two ingredients together. (You definitely won't need this much baking soda... probably not even half this much.)
  • Apply to teeth with a q-tip or cotton ball.
  • Leave for no more than one minute!
  • Brush teeth to remove. (This is important! You don't want to leave the acid from the lemon on your teeth too long.)
Enjoy!! xx.
