Start with a simple oat and honey face mask. Oats have anti-inflammatory ingredients and can help calm irritated or sensitive skin. Combine two tablespoons of finely ground oats and one tablespoon of raw honey to create a soothing, moisturizing mask. Apply to the face for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water for soft and refreshed skin.

A coffee and coconut oil body scrub is another easy DIY recipe. Coffee grounds are an excellent exfoliant for dead skin cells and coconut oil helps to deeply nourish and hydrate. Mix together half a cup of coffee grounds with a quarter cup of melted coconut oil and gently massage the mixture onto your skin in circular motions before rinsing with warm water.

Whether you have oily, dry or sensitive skin, DIY food-based skincare is easy to customize for your own needs. For an extra boost of hydration, try adding avocado to your skincare routine. Mash up half an avocado with honey and a few drops of olive oil for a creamy, nourishing face mask. Avocado is packed with healthy fats and vitamins that can help to deeply hydrate and soften the skin, leaving it glowy and refreshed.

If you’re looking at turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with yogurt and honey to create a brightening mask. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off. Turmeric can help to even out skin tone and reduce redness, giving you a radiant complexion.
