DIY Beard Oil
There is a reason why our grandmothers had a real affinity for Coconut oil. It is one of the best DIY skincare product. It is an excellent moisturizing agent and will seep through that thick mane easily.
Mix coconut oil with a few drops of rosemary oil or Aloe Vera gel. Massage it into your beard and wash it off after 2 hours. Your beard will feel soft and moisturized.
DIY Skincare
If you need to moisturize your skin, you can always rely on aloevera gel. It seeps deep into your skin, without feeling oily.
If you are struggling with outbreaks you can use this classic ‘gharelu nuskha’. Powder a few black pepper balls, and mix it with milk cream. Apply it on the pimples. The black pepper will tinge a little bit but it will also help to generate new skin cells. And the milk cream with sooth the skin. Apply and keep it for about 5 minutes and then wash off with water. Be careful so that it doesn’t enter your eyes. Apply aloe Vera gel to sooth the skin if it is still tingling. You can see the results after 2-3 uses.
DIY Aftershave
Aftershaves help to sooth the skin after it has come under the razor. The dead skin layer is removed with the beard, and hence the skin may be irritated and exposed.
For the DIY aftershave, peel a cucumber and make it into a paste with a mixer grinder. Then strain it through a sieve to get the lumps out and you will get the liquid. Add a few drops of essential oil in it and voila! You have a cool, inexpensive after shave.
DIY Skin Scrub
The best solutions come from mothers and grandmothers. Take 2 tablespoons of Besan, and add a pinch of turmeric into it. Add a spoon of milk cream into it and mix it into a paste. Use this mixture as a regular scrub. Exfoliate and wash with warm water. Your skin will feel moisturized and fresh.
DIY Feet Scrub
Men usually are very ignorant towards there feet, but honestly, it will be really nice if you exfoliate and clean your feet once in a while. For this DIY Pedicure, take a bucket of warm water, and add a teaspoon of baking soda into it. Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to it.
