6 Budget tips to look even more beautiful without expensive products

Sometimes you don't need more than a few home, garden, kitchen remedies to refresh your appearance. Today I share 6 budget tips to look even more beautiful without expensive products.

Beautiful inside and out

Before moving on to the tips, let me first emphasize that every woman is beautiful in her own way. Even more important than the outside is the inside. It is of no use if you are a model or a super beauty, but your character is not inferior to that of a shrew. This article is not about working on beauty within, but your outer beauty.

6 Budget tips to look even more beautiful without expensive products

Of course you can use all kinds of products or even go to the beautician, but often this is not necessary. With a few simple things that you may even have in your kitchen cupboard, you can go a long way.

1. Beauty tips for your body

Beet salad for your body

Okay, I did say that it would only be about external beauty now, but beet salad is an exception. By eating beet salad or rather the juice of beets you clean the blood vessels and your blood. Since there is a clear connection between clean and healthy blood and your appearance, eating beet salad is not even a bad idea. In addition, beets promote the functioning of your organs and give your skin a boost.

Sour cream and salt scrub

Do you like scrubbing? Then you should definitely try this 'recipe'. Mix a little sea salt with some regular salt in a small bowl. Add a cup of sour cream to this. Mix this well together and use it as a scrub in the evening after showering. After exfoliating, rinse your body with warm water. You can use this scrub every day.
Salt is known to have disinfecting properties. It also removes dead skin cells and small pimples. Sour cream nourishes your skin cells and reduces the impact of salt on your skin. The scrub is soft!

Please note, you cannot use this scrub if you:
– Have damaged or sensitive skin
– If your veins and blood vessels are close to the skin
– If you have scars, a cut or have irritations on your skin

2. Tip for your nails

Nuts for your nails and hair

A tip that ensures beautiful nails is to eat nuts. Eating 50 grams of nuts every day (it doesn't really matter which nuts, preferably you choose a mix of different nuts) ensures strong nails and shiny healthy hair.
Nuts contain essential fatty acids and vitamin E Both are indispensable when it comes to health and beauty.

3. Don't forget your feet either

We use them daily and they have to endure a lot. Yet our feet are the part of the body that often gets the least attention. You can do the following to make the skin of your feet softer. Take a generous amount of butter and mix it with a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Lubricate your feet with this and put on a pair of socks made of natural material (bamboo or organic cotton). You will notice a little difference after one night. However, you will only see the real result after a month.

4. Beauty tip for your hair

Mustard powder and oil hair mask

Do you want to combine eating nuts with a mask that makes your hair grow faster? Then a mustard powder and oil hair mask is a must. You can safely use this mask once every three days for your hair. To make the mask, mix vegetable oil with mustard powder until you have a mix with the consistency of toothpaste. Apply this mixture to towel-dried hair. Leave for about 30 minutes. Then rinse your hair with warm water.

Caution:Do not use this mask if you
– have hypertension
– have a disease related to your heart or blood vessels
– have psoriasis or injuries of any kind on your scalp
– Are allergic to mustard
– Are pregnant

Menthol water as a conditioner

Instead of using regular conditioner, you can get started and make menthol water. Mix 5 drops of essential oil with 1 liter of water. After you wash your hair, rinse your hair with this mixture.
Menthol water not only lightens your hair (not in color!) and soothes the scalp. It can also help you if you suffer from headaches. Do you quickly suffer from greasy hair? Then this menthol water is recommended. It ensures that your hair looks fresh again and also keeps the hair beautiful for longer.

5. Budget beauty tips for your face

Our face has to endure a lot:it is exposed to wind and weather and it shows. To give the skin on your face a pick-me-up, make the following mixture of vitamin E and glycerin. Take 10 vitamin E capsules and mix its contents with 30 ml of glycerine. You can use this mixture to clean your face. Use this about 1 hour before going to bed. This mixture is good for your skin (nutrition) and ensures that wrinkles become less visible.

Please note that:
– You make this mixture shortly before use (do not store)
– Use high-quality glycerine
– An allergic reaction to vitamin E is rare, but it so can happen. It is often the excipients that trigger a reaction. Therefore, check all substances in the capsules before use

6. Budget tips for longer lashes

Your eyes are the mirror of the soul. What could be better than to emphasize your eyes by working on your eyelashes? To do this, take an empty mascara and rinse it very well. Make sure it's really clean. Is it clean and dry? Then drop wheat germ oil in it. Apply the oil to your lashes just before going to sleep. Within a month you will see that your lashes have grown.
