The best DIY beauty products you need to try
Luxurious DIY beauty products

Pamper yourself or give these luxurious DIY beauty products as homemade gifts. From sugar scrubs to pretty little soaps, you will find something new to make on this list.

I love homemade beauty products. You can control what is in them. Plus, they make some of the most thoughtful gifts. This is Annie from Venture1105 and I am sharing my list of the best and most creative DIY beauty crafts you should make.

The best DIY beauty products you can make

This means if you make a purchase from one of these links, Ideas for the Home by Kenarry® will make a small commission at no additional cost to you so we can keep the great ideas for the home coming your way. All opinions expressed are derived from personal experience.

Sure, you can buy some bath salts or sugar scrubs at the store. But when you make them yourself, you can control how strong the scent is and even make up your own combinations. I personally prefer to use essential oils. The oils are a pure way of adding scents that also have relaxation and other mental benefits.

DIY Beauty Products You Should Make

I hope you find something new to try on this list. Pamper yourself or give them as a gift to someone you appreciate. All the crafts on this list are simple enough to make that you should make a few large batches and give them away.

#1 Homemade lip sugar scrub

Combat dry lips with this rejuvenating (and pretty delicious) sugar scrub. It’s perfectly safe to eat, just in case you lick a bit of it off your lips. It exfoliates your lips and helps them shine.

#2 Rainbow Soap

Homemade rainbow soaps

These beautiful rainbow soaps make a perfect hostess gift. They are super easy if you know how to use pour-over molds. You can omit the cosmetic glitter, but it sure does add some fun sparkles.
