Hey fabulous!

Is even your life running at 100mph, and you are trying your best to keep up with it?

Yet it feels like you are barely hanging on?

You know, like the fab has simply dried from the fabulous.

And your life has started feeling more like a hassle, than a hustle.

But please stop, it’s time to pause, recharge, and give yourself the self care break you deserve.

Hehe, I know there’s no time to even stop.

So here are some beauty self care ideas that are going to bringing your fab back!

But before beginning, here’s a reminder,

Your beauty is not what makes you look beautiful, add to your skin, gives you ca clear skin, etc etc.

I mean it will but the focus is not to just have that. The focus is to work internally and bring out the best version of you.

Because if your focus is just to look beautiful, you might look, but you will have to keep working on the same self care routine again and again.

And the moment you stop doing it, your magic is gone.

But with these beauty self care ideas, you do not just look beautiful outside, but also feel beautiful from inside.

So let’s look into the beauty self care ideas, tips, hacks, and rituals, that help you become a better you!

The Skin Care Routine that works while you work

1. The general CTM procedure is the best way to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. It is the cleanser-toner-moisturizer impact.
2. You can use a brand to follow the process, or make one of your own.
3. Like cleansing your face with rice flour and curd does help in scrubbing and cleaning.
4. And you can use rice water as a fresh toner for your face. Works like a miracle!
5. Ice cubes help in tighten your pores, so use them as soon as you wake up to add to your freshness.
6. You can add cucumber, aloevera, or greentea, to make a refreshed icecream for your skin. 😛
7. In a similar manner, you can also try Banana peels. Rub it on your face and keep it for 10 minutes and wash it off. You can leave it for 10 minutes and rise off for a natural glow.

Skin self care routine does not just help you look fresh, but it also adds to your feeling of freshness, helping you in having a productive day ahead.

Whether you are a girl or a boy, there is nothing to do with the gender, because your skin does not differentiate between the two.

Just try one thing and then keep going forward, eventually, you’ll get fine with following it everyday, and your skin will get fine feeling it everyday.

Hair Hacks that go beyond shampoo

Again, most of us would be interested in knowing how to control the hair fall. There’s immense hair loss, and each one of us are somewhere or the other, facing it.

Yet no one is interested to know why, but is ready to apply anything or everything that can help them in getting out of the hair fall problem.

But let me tell you, there have been people who’ve lived without shampoo-ing their hair throughout their life.

Though the pollution and the mixed variants in food is something that our generation has started facing, yet there has to be a way out right? And this too counts in the beauty self care ideas.

You can follow some pre wash rituals –

1. You can warm coconut, olive, or argan oil and massage it into your scalp. It will boost circulation, strengthen the roots, and promote hair growth. More important thing to know is how!
2. You can also add essential oils like lavender for relaxation or tea tree for dandruff.
3. If you have an oily scalp and do not prefer this then you can try scooping out fresh aloe vera gel and massage it onto your scalp. Its enzymes remove dead skin cells, reduce itchiness, and moisturize.

You can also try implementing these post wash rituals –

1. Use a conditioner, and after conditioning, rinse your hair with cool water to seal the cuticle and add shine.
2. If you do not prefer a conditioner from the market you can make one all by yourself. Mix a few drops of argan oil with water in a spray bottle for a lightweight, hydrating mist.

Here are some DIYs I have used that might help you to add to your beauty self care ideas when it comes to your hair –

1. For a hair shine throughout, you can collect rice water and spray it during your work rituals. You do not have to wash your hair after it and it works wonders.
2. Collect all onion peels and boil them in water. You can also add some cloves for added strength. You’ll see the color change and after 5-7 minutes of boiling let it cool.
3. Once ready pour it into a spray bottle and apply it on your scalp and hair. After keeping for 30 minutes, wash your hair. Trust me your hair will feel as smooth as if you have used a conditioner.
4. Before washing your hair, you can also apply castor oil, for around 30 minutes, to your scalp where you feel you are losing out on your hair. Eventually after consistent application you’ll see baby hair growing at those places.

Nail Care for your small details to make a big impact

If you know, you know, that nails are a great way of saying what your body is going through.

It tells you what your body lacks, and where you should work on.

But let’s say you worked on all of it, sometimes your nails can still seem troubling.

Here are a few beauty self care ideas you can try when you feel that your nails are brittle and need some extra care:

1. Biotin is known for strengthening nails, and you can find it in eggs, almonds, and leafy greens. So try eating healthy. It also adds benefits to the overall body.
2. Dehydration can cause brittle nails, so make sure to drink plenty of water.
3. You can try a mani-hack at home. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, and a few drops of tea tree oil. Soak your nails for 10 minutes to whiten and strengthen them.
4. Massage your cuticles with coconut oil before bed to prevent dryness and cracking.
5. Got no time to even do this? Whenever you squeeze a lemon, do it with your hands, and after that instead of throwing the peel away, apply it on your nails and fingers.
6. It lightens the dark areas of your finger and adds strength to your nails.

Beauty self care ideas for a head-to-toe glow

Whenever we think of self care routine or self care for your skin, most of the things are just for the face. The first thing that hits is to care for your face.

But body is equally important. If you care enough, it will make you feel better and beautiful than you ever could.

Here are some beauty self care ideas you can try to take care of your body.

1. Mix granulated sugar with coconut oil and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use it in the shower to buff away dead skin and leave your body baby-smooth.
2. Use a natural-bristle brush in upward strokes before showering. It not only exfoliates but also improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
3. For a DIY home paste, you can use rice flour, dried and grinded orange peels, rose powder, or pomegranate powder, mix it with curd and apply throughout your body.
4. You can also apply oil throughout your body at night and massage well and then shower the next morning for a hydrated and fresh skin.
5. After your shower, apply shea butter or a thick cream to lock in moisture. Focus on areas like elbows, knees, and heels that tend to get dry.
6. Add a cup of whole milk and a few drops of your favorite essential oil to your bathwater. The lactic acid gently exfoliates while the fats hydrate.

It’s time to make beauty self care a ritual and not just a chore!

Because at the end, they don’t just make you look good, but they also make you feel good.
