Have you ever looked at a photo from your golden twenties with a hint of nostalgia and thought, "Where's that skin? Where are those joints that didn't creak with every squat?" Don't worry, you're not alone. And the answer isn't in the latest "collagen shot" from the supermarket that costs more than dinner for two, but - surprisingly - in a pot. Homemade collagen!

Why is your skin losing its glow despite all the expensive creams? Fine lines and blemishes are becoming more noticeable? The night cream you must make.
Forget about Korean 10-step routines for "Glass skin", €70 serums and ingredients that require you to open an online chemical dictionary. There's a homemade recipe for glowing, toned and healthy skin waiting in your kitchen right now, which has been making the TikTok beauty scene a star in recent months. The combination of rice water and fenugreek is the perfect "low cost, high impact" trick that the internet has only just "discovered" again. This is nothing new - grandmothers in Asia have been using it long before the word "influencer" even existed.
In an age when we are bombarded with serums with unpronounceable ingredients and precious drops from tropical forests, nature (well, almost nature) reminds us that sometimes “old-fashioned” is actually the new “in”. Anti-aging night cream with Vaseline and baby oil! Two stars from another time, who have found their place in the modern beauty routine again – without the glitter, with surprising results.
Forget about sharp features and rigorous lines – the new hairstyle of summer 2025 brings softness, femininity and that “I barely tried, but I still look amazing” effect. And yes, it includes bangs. But the kind you’ll actually want.
Homemade beauty products have a special power – not only because we know what we are putting on our skin, but because they often achieve results that expensive creams with shiny promises do not even remotely live up to. Among these home-grown winners, turmeric has reigned supreme for centuries – this spice icon, which is not only the star of oriental cuisines, but also the secret weapon of Asian skin care. And what if we told you that you can make a toner from it that can easily compete with the most praised “glass skin” mists of Korean cosmetics. How to make a homemade toner from turmeric?
When those long, lazy summer days come, full of ice creams, late dinners and carefree lounging, the last thing on our wish list is – fitness. We happily swap the gym for a deckchair and the alarm clock for the gentle creak of a deckchair. But the body? The body doesn't "switch off". And somewhere in the background, between another cocktail and "another episode", we feel... that familiar feeling of guilt.
In a world where cosmetics have become a veritable chemical weapon, aloe vera is like a balm—literally and metaphorically. This humble plant with thick, sap-filled leaves isn't just a trend in the natural-care world, it's a star who deserves its own green stage. Plus, let's be honest, you probably have at least one aloe vera plant sitting on your kitchen shelf somewhere that you occasionally glance at but haven't really used. Make your own homemade aloe vera face wash.
If you're looking for a single product that will brighten your skin, erase age spots, and take at least three years off your face, then this homemade vitamin C serum is exactly what you need. And no – it doesn't come in a gold-plated box with a sky-high price tag, but from your kitchen.
Skin tags – those little soft vagrants that appear where no one invites them: on the neck, under the armpits, between the breasts or even on the back. They are not dangerous, they are not contagious, they are not even evil. But hey, we still don’t want them! Although they do not pose any serious health threat, many people want to remove them – for aesthetic reasons or simply because they get stuck in their necklace, bra or the look in the mirror. And while a dermatologist is always the safe bet, there are also some very simple home tricks that can send these stubbornly peaceful formations on vacation. How to remove skin tags at home?
Homemade cosmetics are no longer the domain of eccentric herbalists from the 90s. At a time when we all want cleaner, more natural and, above all, effective solutions, more and more people are returning to the basics. And among these basics, there is one star that has been responsible for the radiant appearance of the skin in the East for centuries: rice. Yes, this simple grainy hero, which you have only used for risotto and sushi, hides a real beauty bomb.
In the flood of expensive serums, glitzy creams, and promises of “the impossible overnight,” something simple, home-made—and surprisingly effective—is making a comeback. Flaxseed ice cubes are like the beauty secret your grandma would tell you if she had access to TikTok. No chemicals, no complications, just a strong dose of natural wisdom and cold logic. Literally.
