Hey Lykkers! We all know that apples are a delicious snack, but did you know they can do so much more than just keep the doctor away? From beauty treatments to health-boosting drinks, apples are a powerhouse in the DIY world.
Today, I’m sharing three awesome apple-based DIYs that’ll not only help you feel good but look good too! Let’s dive in and get creative with apples!
1. Apple Cider Vinegar Face Toner
If you’ve been looking for a natural way to tone and cleanse your skin, then apple cider vinegar (ACV) is about to become your new best friend! It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help balance your skin’s pH, fight acne, and reduce redness.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of water
- A cotton ball or pad
How to Make It:
1. Mix the apple cider vinegar with water. Dilution is key because ACV can be quite strong on its own.
2. Use a cotton ball to apply the mixture to your face after cleansing.
3. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse off with cool water.
Not only does it leave your skin feeling fresh, but over time, it can help with acne and irritation. Plus, it’s so easy to make—your skin will be glowing in no time!
2. Apple and Honey Hydrating Face Mask
Dry skin? This apple and honey face mask is here to save the day! Apple is packed with vitamins and antioxidants, while honey works as a humectant, drawing moisture into your skin. The result? Super soft, hydrated skin that looks healthy and glowing.
What You’ll Need:
- 1/2 an apple (peeled and mashed)
- 1 tablespoon of honey
How to Make It:
1. Mash the apple into a smooth paste (you can also blend it if you want it extra smooth!).
2. Mix the mashed apple with honey until it forms a thick paste.
3. Apply the mask to your face, avoiding your eyes.
4. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
This mask is perfect for winter when your skin is feeling dry and thirsty. The apple and honey combo will leave your skin feeling moisturized and super soft.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink
Okay, I know you’re probably thinking, “Apple cider vinegar in a drink?” But trust me, this detox drink is a total game-changer. Drinking ACV in warm water is said to boost your metabolism, help with digestion, and detox your body—plus, it’s a refreshing way to start your day!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of warm water
- 1 teaspoon of honey (optional)
How to Make It:
1. In a glass, mix the apple cider vinegar with warm water.
2. Stir in honey for a bit of sweetness, if you like.
3. Drink it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
This simple drink has been known to help detoxify the body, reduce bloating, and even improve energy levels. It’s like giving your insides a refreshing start, setting the tone for a healthy day ahead.
