🍯 DIY Face Mask for Clear, Glowing Skin – Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda & Honey
This simple homemade face mask is a great all-rounder—perfect for fighting acne and reducing early signs of aging. The key ingredients are baking soda, which gently exfoliates and clears pores; apple cider vinegar, which brightens and balances the skin; and raw honey, which deeply nourishes and hydrates.
You can also personalize this mask with optional ingredients like lemon juice or essential oils to suit your skin’s needs.
🛒 What You’ll Need
Only three core ingredients are essential. Everything else is optional:
- Raw honey – Go for unprocessed, organic honey for best results
- Baking soda – Helps exfoliate and clean pores
- Apple cider vinegar – Brightens and helps balance pH levels
💡 Tip: Avoid using commercial honey loaded with sugar—choose raw honey from a natural food store.
🧴 How to Make It
- Dilute the apple cider vinegar with a little water to reduce its strength (a 1:1 ratio works well).
- In a clean bowl, add a teaspoon of baking soda.
- Slowly pour in the diluted vinegar—it will fizz a little, which is normal.
- Add about a teaspoon of raw honey and mix everything until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Adjust the consistency as needed: more honey for thickness, or a drop of water to thin it out.
🧖♀️ Natural Skin Care Recipe #2 – Bentonite Clay Detox Mask
This next DIY skincare recipe is another simple but powerful face mask—this time featuring bentonite clay as the star ingredient. It’s completely natural, easy to prepare, and requires only a few basic items you might already have at home.
Bentonite clay is rich in minerals and works wonders for your skin. It draws out impurities, helps reduce acne, and leaves your skin feeling clean, calm, and rejuvenated.
🛒 What You’ll Need
To create your bentonite clay mask, gather the following:
- Bentonite clay (in powder form)
- Apple cider vinegar
- Essential oils (optional, for scent)
💡 Tip: The vinegar has a strong smell, so adding a few drops of essential oil—like lavender, tea tree, or peppermint—can help balance the aroma. Try blending them with the vinegar beforehand to see which combination smells best to you.
🧴 How to Make It
- In a non-metal bowl, combine equal parts of bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar (usually 1–2 tablespoons of each, depending on how much you need).
- Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth, thick paste.
- Add a few drops of essential oil if you’d like a more pleasant scent. You can also include a carrier oil like jojoba or olive oil for added moisture.
- Stir everything well to blend.
🛑 Note: Avoid using metal spoons or bowls when handling bentonite clay—it can affect the clay’s ability to detox properly.
If you have extra product left, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for later use.
🧼 How to Use It
Using this clay mask is easy, but remember—it’s thick!
- Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area.
- Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. For first-time users, start with just 5–7 minutes to test your skin’s sensitivity.
- Rinse off with cool or lukewarm water and gently pat your face dry.
🌿 Natural Skin Care Recipe #3 – Coconut Oil Moisturizer
This next DIY skincare solution is incredibly simple—because you don’t really need to “make” anything at all! You’re just using pure coconut oil as a natural moisturizer. That said, you can always customize it with a few extra ingredients for enhanced hydration and skin-loving benefits.
🥥 Why Use Coconut Oil?
Coconut oil is a powerhouse ingredient when it comes to skin care. It’s deeply moisturizing, rich in antioxidants, and packed with nutrients that help improve skin texture, fight signs of aging, and even soothe irritation.
Plus, it’s versatile—you can use it on your skin, hair, lips, and even teeth!
🛒 What You’ll Need
- Organic, unrefined virgin coconut oil (avoid refined or processed versions)
- Essential oils (optional, for fragrance or added benefits)
- Carrier oils (optional, to boost hydration or customize texture)
✅ Tip: Always read the label carefully—look for “cold-pressed,” “organic,” and “unrefined” to ensure you’re using the purest coconut oil possible.
If you’d like to mix it up a bit, here are some great oil blend ideas:
- Lavender + Rose essential oils with Olive oil
- Geranium + Chamomile with Jojoba oil
- Lemon essential oil with Sweet almond oil
🧴 How to Make Your Moisturizer
If you’re using just coconut oil, it’s ready to go! Simply warm the jar slightly by running it under warm water until it softens, then apply directly to your skin.
If you’re adding oils:
- Add the coconut oil, essential oils, and carrier oils into a blender or mixing bowl.
- Whip the mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Transfer it into an airtight container for storage.
💧 How to Use It
Once your whipped coconut oil blend is ready, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin. Use it as part of your morning or nighttime routine, or anytime your skin feels dry or tight.
It’s especially great during winter months or after sun exposure for extra nourishment.

🌿 Natural Skin Care Recipe #4 – Aloe and Tea Tree Acne Gel
This next DIY skincare product is an innovative take on aloe vera gel, with a twist. It combines the soothing power of aloe with the acne-fighting benefits of tea tree oil, creating a multi-benefit anti-aging gel.

🧴 What You’ll Need
- Pure aloe vera gel (make sure it’s natural with no added ingredients)
- Tea tree oil
- Essential oils (optional, for fragrance)
Tip: If you can’t find pure aloe vera gel in stores, check natural health food shops or online retailers. The aloe vera will help calm inflammation, while the tea tree oil offers acne-fighting and anti-aging properties.
💧 How to Make the Gel
Making this gel is super easy and only requires mixing the ingredients. It’s best to create the gel directly in the container you’ll store it in, so you can gauge how much to make. Follow these steps:
- Fill your container about half to three-quarters full with aloe vera gel.
- Add a few drops of tea tree oil and your choice of essential oils.
- Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined.
And that’s it!
🌞 How to Use the Gel
This gel is incredibly versatile. While it works great as a soothing after-sun treatment, it can also be used at any time to cool your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or calm irritation. You can even use it on acne-prone areas for its antibacterial properties.
🌿 Natural Skin Care Recipe #5– Almond and Shea Butter Night Cream
While masks and scrubs are fantastic for treating acne and signs of aging, sometimes your skin craves a richer, more nourishing product. Enter the Almond and Shea Butter Night Cream—a luxurious cream that works overnight to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and rejuvenated when you wake up.
The key ingredients in this night cream are almond oil and shea butter, both of which deeply hydrate and give your skin a luminous glow, while helping to fight signs of aging.
🧴 What You’ll Need
- Almond oil
- Shea butter
- Vitamin E oil
- Coconut oil
- Raw honey
Tip: Always use organic, natural, and pure ingredients for the best results. The coconut oil should be unrefined and virgin, and the honey should be raw. If possible, opt for local honey. The combination of shea butter and vitamin E oil will help reduce fine lines and promote smooth skin, while the coconut oil ensures a rich, creamy texture.
🛠 How to Make the Cream
- Start by melting the shea butter and coconut oil in a bowl.

🌿 Natural Skin Care Recipe #6 – Witch Hazel Natural Face Toner
A facial toner is a must-have in your skincare routine, as it helps cleanse your skin, tighten pores, and refine your complexion. Large pores can trap dirt and oil, leading to acne and dull skin. This witch hazel toner works wonders for both acne-prone and aging skin.
🧴 What You’ll Need
This natural toner is gentle yet effective in reducing the appearance of pores, soothing skin, and combating acne and signs of aging. You’ll need the following ingredients:
- Witch hazel
- Essential oils (optional)
- Cooled tea (preferably green tea)
The green tea will serve as the liquid base to dilute the witch hazel. Choose any tea you like, but green tea is a great option due to its antioxidants. Be sure to let the tea cool completely before mixing. Adding essential oils is optional but will enhance the toner with added benefits and a pleasant scent.
🛠 How to Make the Toner
- Brew your green tea and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, pour the tea into a spray bottle.
- Add a generous amount of witch hazel and a few drops of your chosen essential oils.
- If using essential oils, you may want to add a carrier oil to help dilute them further.
- Shake the bottle well to mix everything together.
💧 How to Use the Toner
Once your toner is ready, simply spray it onto your face, avoiding your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you prefer, you can apply it with a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face. You’ll feel your skin tighten right away, which is a great indication it’s working. Use this toner after washing your face and before applying moisturizer or sunscreen. Let it dry on your skin; no need to rinse.
🌸 Natural Skin Care Recipe #7– Geranium Body Butter
Before we wrap up this collection, we couldn’t leave out a body butter recipe!
Body butter is a rich, creamy alternative to regular moisturizers, offering a thicker consistency that’s perfect for dry skin. It’s ideal for those with extra-dry skin and is also great for anti-aging, as it helps to lock in moisture and contains a variety of natural ingredients that nurture your skin.
This floral-scented body butter features geranium and other soothing floral essential oils, providing your skin with nourishment and a lovely fragrance.
🧴 What You’ll Need
To create this luxurious body butter, gather the following ingredients:
- Shea butter
- Jojoba oil (or another carrier oil)
- Geranium essential oil
- Lavender essential oil
- Rose essential oil
Feel free to add any other oils, floral or otherwise, depending on your scent preferences. Jojoba oil is recommended as the carrier oil for geranium, but you can also use alternatives like olive oil or sweet almond oil. The shea butter will give the body butter its signature thick and creamy texture.
🛠 How to Make the Body Butter
- Start by melting the shea butter. It’s best to use a double boiler rather than microwaving it to ensure it melts evenly.
- Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Add in your carrier oil (e.g., jojoba) and the essential oils (geranium, lavender, and rose). The quantity will depend on how much shea butter you’re working with.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once it has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the fridge to chill for a few hours. This will help the body butter set to a creamy consistency.
- After chilling, remove it from the fridge and leave it at room temperature.
Use this body butter just like any other lotion or moisturizer: scoop a small amount with your fingers and massage it into your skin. It’s perfect for use all over your body, especially on dry patches, and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and beautifully
Natural Skin Care Recipe #8– Honey Lavender Face Scrub
We’ve saved one more face scrub for you that works wonders for both acne and anti-aging. This particular scrub is sure to become a favorite, as it features the soothing properties of lavender and honey. These ingredients, combined with others, create a refreshing and relaxing experience that will make you feel like you just stepped out of a luxurious spa.
🧴 What You’ll Need
For this gentle scrub, we’re using baking soda as the exfoliant instead of salt or sugar. Baking soda is particularly great for acne scars and irritated skin because it’s finer and softer on your face. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Baking soda
- Raw honey (preferably Manuka honey)
- Lavender essential oil
Using Manuka honey is recommended because it’s a natural anti-inflammatory, helping to soothe acne breakouts and providing excellent anti-aging benefits. However, any other type of raw honey will work as well.
🛠 How to Make the Scrub
- Start by mixing the baking soda and honey in a bowl. This is an essential step because you’ll need to create a paste-like consistency. Pour the baking soda in first, then gradually add the honey while mixing until you achieve the desired texture.
- Once you have your paste, add in the lavender essential oil and stir well to incorporate.
💆♀️ How to Use the Scrub
- Begin by opening your pores. Place a warm, damp towel over your face for a few minutes to soften the skin and prepare it for exfoliation.
- Once your pores are open, gently apply the scrub mixture to your face, avoiding the eyes. Using circular motions, massage it all over your nose, cheeks, chin, upper lip, and forehead.
- After a few minutes of massaging, rinse the scrub off with cool or warm water, depending on your preference.
Natural Skin Care Recipe #9– Custom Face Oil

You can choose whichever ingredients you want to use for this face oil, which is going to moisturize your face and give you a more youthful appearance. It is ideal if you have dry skin, struggle with lines and wrinkles, or you have acne scars that you want to minimize.
What You Need
The first thing you want to choose with the custom face oil is the essential oil. This can be anything you like, but here are some good oils to consider:
- Rosemary
- Lavender

- Chamomile
Next is the carrier oil, since you need it to dilute your pure essential oils. Here are some options:

- Grapeseed oil
Finally, you have the choice to add oil to soften and moisturize your skin. Try some of these:

- Rosehip oil
Making the Oil
To make this face oil, you just need to combine the oils together in a small container or bottle with a dropper. You can then apply it to your skin by using a cotton ball dipped into the container. Since it has essential oils, make sure the container or bottle you use is airtight and stored at room temperature.
