Summertime brings with it a slew of skin-care concerns. Although the summer and sun are supposed to make you feel good, the fact that your skin is breaking out or acting strangely just adds to your concerns. Because of the increased temperature, humidity, sun exposure, and pollution, all skin types become a little more vulnerable during the hot summer months. We’ve got some really simple DIY skin care tips that will not only make your skin feel fantastic but are also so simple to create and apply that you’ll want to keep giving your skin a spa treatment at home.

If you leave body scrub out of your shower routine, you’re missing out on a major delight. The skin becomes soft, smooth, and glowing after exfoliation. You may prepare your own DIY exfoliant blend using just natural components instead of spending a lot of money on expensive ones, and the best part is that you can customize it according to the needs of your skin.
Here’s a simple DIY body scrub that will leave your skin feeling as baby soft, and the instant glow won’t go unnoticed either.
What You Will Need?
• ½ cup ground coffee
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well. Gently rub the mixture all over your body in circular strokes, avoiding your face. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
How it will help:
This scrub is high in antioxidants, which help in improving skin health and bringing out that glow. Coffee is a great exfoliant which gently removes dead skin cells and helps to rejuvenate your skin. It’s also an excellent skin-tightening agent. Coconut oil is one of those gifts from nature that keeps on giving. It can work as an organic collagen creator in addition to nourishing and moisturizing your skin.
Pro Tip: Choose fine coffee grounds rather than coarse as it will be too harsh or abrasive for delicate or sensitive skin. While exfoliating may feel great, don’t overdo it; it’s best to only use a scrub, once a week (in case of dry skin) or twice a week (in case of oily and sensitive skin).

When talking about skincare, people forget that lips are skin too and they need care. We can do the bare minimum for them by applying lip balm, but they deserve their own pampering session. This lip scrub is definitely going to be a treat for chapped or dark lips and the best part is that it is easy peasy, …and needs a bit of lemon squeezy too.
You Will Need:
• 1 teaspoon Argan oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 teaspoon brown sugar
• A dash of lemon juice
Method:
In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Scrub off dead skin by gently rubbing this mixture over your lips with a new toothbrush or clean fingertips in a circular motion.
How it will help:
Argan Oil is high in vitamins A and E, making it a natural moisturizer and conditioner for your lips. It can be used as a lip primer before applying lipstick to help restore moisture and hydration to dry or flaky lips.
Brown sugar works as a natural exfoliant, removing dead and dry skin while also improving blood circulation around your lips.
Coconut oil will nourish and rejuvenate your lips.
Honey helps to repair chapped lips while lemon juice will help to brighten dark lips and make them appear soft and pink.
Pro Tip: Don’t over-exfoliate because it can be damaging to your lips. Scrub them off once or twice a week to keep them soft and supple.

Summers without a refreshing face toner are likely to be an incomplete skin care routine. A facial toner removes any leftover dirt, dust, and pollutants caught in your pores after you’ve washed your face.
Here’s a simple toner recipe to add to your beauty routine.

• 1 cup rose water
• Few drops chamomile oil
Method:
Shake the contents together in a spray bottle. To use, spritz directly on your face or use a cotton pad to apply and wipe away any residue.
How it will help:
Rose water has been used for various skin care needs for thousands of years and is especially effective as a facial toner. It improves your complexion, prevents acne and minimize skin redness. It also maintains skin’s natural pH levels and provides hydration.
Chamomile Essential Oil is a miracle ingredient to help calm your skin and reignites your radiance.
Pro Tip: If you don’t have any chamomile oil, you can use chamomile tea.
Boil water and soak 1 bag of chamomile tea in it. Allow it to cool before mixing in the rosewater.
