One clove of garlic, half a teaspoon of jojoba oil and two drops of tea tree oil. What does that spell? An anti-acne spot treatment. DIY skin care recipes are wallet-friendly beauty solutions. “You get to control what goes into your skin care products and tailor what you make specifically for your skin type, which is helpful [if your skin] changes with the season,” explains Stephanie Gerber, a beauty blogger turned author of Hello Glow, a DIY compendium of fresh, organic and effective spa recipes.

But beware: It may temporarily deepen your skin and hair color. helloglow.co
