You asked for it, and you got it! Here are 20 DIY beauty ideas perfect for summer! Make these for gifts, make these on a rainy day, make these with the kids (aunt of 6 over here, and nanny to 2 and these are fun recipes), and best of all, make them for yourself! They work well beyond summer. Let me know your faves in the comments!
Use these to exfoliate your feet/body
A fun twist on the regular bath bomb
Your feet will thank you.
Use this before shaving for softer skin
Spray this on for relief after a day in the sun
This Georgia girl loves this bath in the summer
Keep lips get dry even in the summer. And because it tastes good!
Seriously, don't buy these again. Make them!
Love the sugar scrubs but not the messiness? Try these.
So refreshing on the skin and not sticky!
If this doesn't say summer...
Hair fried from the heat? Try this.
This smells amazing. Your skin will love it.

A twist on the regular beachy waves spray
Because not everyone likes lemon
Try this after dancing at summer weddings
Because it's all about lemonade this summer
Just like LUSH but at home!
FYI:
- Some of these have vitamin C, so always wear sunscreen if you're going outside, and don't forget to do a skin patch test if sensitive
- All recipes created by me. I have shared over 300 here.
Which one are you going to try first?

Ooh boy, 113 degrees is no joke, ick! I want to make all of these, but I think I actually WILL make the detangle spray (for me and the kiddo) and the beach spray. I've been meaning to try to make my own beach spray anyway.

I love DIY things, and I know that you shared the best products one can have! I have read about the pineapple sugar scrub and forgot to write down the recipe - that makes a lovely gift for Christmas, I will do so! I also want to try the orange scrub and the jelly gel body wash is super sweet, I have bought gelatine and forgot about the recipe, so good you shared it again!
