Do you want radiant, flawless skin—without the army of preservatives and unpronounceable chemicals staring at you from the packaging of classic creams? Then it's time to roll up your sleeves and mix up some serious glow in your home kitchen—literally.
There are more “lightening” creams on the market today than there are TikTok influencers. But while many are formulated with the magic word “dermatologically tested,” they often contain a bunch of artificial additives that do more harm than good to your skin in the long run. The solution? Let’s go back to basics. Natural ingredients, no secrets, no side effects – just pure love for your skin.
Today we reveal two homemade beauty formulas: one for the day, one for the night. Both with one goal – to make you the skin greets you in the morning with the words: "Thank you for pampering me."
Day cream for radiant skin: glitter-free glow
The goal of a day cream? Moisturized, nourished and naturally radiant skin – without the feeling of having butter on your face.
Ingridients:
- 5–6 almonds
- 1/2 cup fresh roses (because classics never go out of style)
- 3–4 teaspoons of fresh beetroot juice (so you don't have to blush)
- Aloe vera gel
- 5–6 drops of vitamin E
Preparation:
- Soak the almonds overnight. In the morning, take off their “pajamas” (read: peel them) and throw them in a blender.
- Add roses and freshly squeezed beetroot juice. Blend into a liquid worthy of a Renaissance elixir.
- Strain through clean cheesecloth to obtain a smooth liquid.
- Add a large spoonful of aloe vera gel to a clean container.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of almond-beetroot liquid.
- Add vitamin E and mix well.
Usage: Apply every day after cleansing your face, and be sure to use a sunscreen afterwards. (Nature is great, but the sun can be a little mean.)
Shelf life: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks – or until you use it all up, because you’ll be so excited.
Skin Renewal Night Cream: A Dream Blend for Skin That Doesn't Sleep at Night
Night care is designed to repair the damage caused by life (and city air) during the day. A homemade night cream acts as a natural “reset” button for your skin – without the blue LED lights and designer packaging.
Ingridients:
- Peels of 1–2 oranges (to go to bed with a touch of the Mediterranean)
- 2–3 drops of orange essential oil
- 2 vitamin E capsules
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
- A little rose water (because your skin deserves some romance too)
Preparation:
- Cut the orange peels into small pieces and soak them in water for a couple of hours.
- Then blend them – without adding water – into a thick paste.
- Add essential oil and vitamin E.
- Add aloe vera and rose water and mix well.
Usage: Apply this fragrant natural renewal bomb every evening after cleansing your face and gently massaging in circular motions. Your skin will thank you – it might even dream of a spa getaway.
Bottom line: don't splurge on luxury creams
Natural care It's not just a trend—it's a return to common sense. When you know what you're putting on your skin, you have complete control. And remember: glowing skin isn't a matter of genetics, it's a matter of good care (and maybe a little beetroot).
